Men now avoid women at work - another sign we're being punished for #MeToo

60. When I was in the Navy

A senior officer once told me that I should never be behind closed doors with a female Sailor. I told him that was bullshit.

As a department head, I often had to counsel Sailors privately... the whole praise in public-criticize in private thing.

Anyway, I was able to tell him that because I was a Mustang Officer...an LDO that advanced to Senior Chief as an enlisted, and earned a commission as a Navy Officer...we didn't take much shit, even from senior officers.

I always believed and tried to demonstrate that you didn't treat women differently... you treated all your folks simply as Sailors.

I also firmly believed that my reputation and my record would insulate me from any false claims of harrassment or discrimination.

Know what I found out? If you treat people with respect and dignity... you have nothing to worry about.
