18 Months Into Me Too, Male Bosses Are Afraid To Meet With Female Employees
The Federalist ^ | May 22, 2019 | Emily Jashinsky

A recent poll commissioned by Lean In found some men are increasingly struggling to interact with women in professional settings.

In October, two years will have passed since Harvey Weinstein’s downfall broke the Me Too dam, inviting a surge of revelations about powerful men—some overdue, others undue—into the media spotlight. By the time one website’s brunch aficionados got around to Aziz Ansari in January 2018, the waters had already started to muddy, and public perception of the movement’s value started to shift. There was concern about the standards for purging accused men from public life, but also about Me Too’s effects on daily workplace dynamics. Eighteen months into the Me Too era, new evidence suggests those fears were warranted.

A recent poll commissioned by Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In organization found some men are increasingly struggling to interact with women in professional settings. Here are a few key bullets pulled from Lean In’s report on the study, which was conducted by Survey Monkey earlier this year:

60% of managers who are men are uncomfortable participating in a common work activity with a woman, such as mentoring, working alone, or socializing together. That’s a 32% jump from a year ago.

One accusation, whether true or not, can destroy a career.

Soooo. If a woman codes out near you, do you dare give CPR?

Reverend Billy Graham was never in the presence of a female alone. Always had someone else in the room. I heard a story about him taking an elevator alone and a woman got on alone, he got off before the doors closed.....very smart.

Men in the workplace are screwed.

Meet with a woman on a task, and she can accuse you of sexual harassment. Your career is immediately over.

Don’t meet with a woman on a task, and she can accuse you of sexual discrimination for excluding her from the task. Your career is immediately over.

The War on Men continues...

A totally rational response to aggression by a load of hysterical harpies.

Chicks can shove it as far as I’m concerned, where I work. They should have told the feminists to SHOVE IT - they didn’t, now they pay.

Yes. Some things are more important than a career. Human life is one of them. But I understand if some men wouldn’t.

Shit rolls downhill... if even Supreme Court nominees are subject to an inquisition of false accusations, the most practical method of self-preservation is to not even know any women at all.

Heard another related story this morning about when a woman has a heart men are unwilling to give CPR for many of the same reasons.

I would too, for the same reason.

But I understand if some men wouldn’t.

And some women WILL die as a direct result.

Good job, feminists.

If I were a hiring manager today, a little male bias would enter into my decisions. Very subtle and always justified so HR could not prove it, but hiring a female is just higher risk.

I managed YUGE mine construction projects all around el mundo, and NEVER! closed the door when in a meeting with a woman employee.

Had a woman safety super who always insisted on private, closed door meetings, but I would only agree if another employee was in my office, preferably a female office clerk.

I later canned her butt for being incompetent.

That’s the way construction management works...as President Donald Trump knows.

When female soldiers were assigned to previously all male units, I never saw a female soldier in my office, including in the field, without the presence of either the Command Sergeant Major or the Adjutant. I told the company commanders and the First Sergeants to do the same.
