I'm shocked that it's still going with the amount of filth being spewed on here.
People are saying things I dont agree with, they must be stopped! Are you real?

Theyre not going to f you, bro. "Women should use their sexuality in the workplace as a sword". What the **** are you even saying.
I'm not gonna be responsible for this filth. It's not productive and I don't want that on my conscience.

I have two careers, both in male dominated fields, and have seen this from both sides. I absolutely do not support the 'believe all women' movement because it makes it harder for real issues to be addressed.

It also makes me so sad that vindictive, manipulative women are so prevalent that it causes men to think all women are like that. We aren't.

I dont think most men think all women are like that, but if its 1 out of 100 that's a pretty big risk. I realize there are ****ty men who do those things as well, but all men arent like that either.

I almost exclusivey hire women because it's more difficult for them to accuse me of sexual harassment.

I treat female colleagues the same as male ones and so far neither sex has accused me of sexual harassment, so this has never been an issue for me.

You could also say this this is a case of women getting exactly what they want … and not being happy with it. But I'm not gonna say that.

I don't think anyone thinks all women are like that. It's just that it's often impossible to tell which ones are, so play it safe and conduct yourself like any innocent exchange could lead to an accusation. Basically, not all guns are loaded, but if you pick one up, assume it's ready to fire

Going back to the OP though …

One-on-one is voluntary assumption of a known risk.

So it's hard to blame people for looking out for their own self-interest.

Nervy and Stat Monitor are both correct. Women are never at fault. They can't be questioned. It's the men that cause all the problems.

Except for when #MeToo celebrity Asia Argento was boinking someone less than half her age and paid him off to shut up about it.

But I'm sure that's the only time she has been dishonest.

Female contractor falsely accused me of sexual harassment as a part of scheme of lies in an attempt to take my job. Tried to say I sexually harassed her over the phone. Unfortunately for her, I had her on speakerphone and there were 4 other people in the room who heard everything.

Looks like i am late to party.

I am friends with a former client. He is a former client b/c he refused to share a rental car with a female intern. He said that she can drive herself and ultimately paid to rent his own car.

When he made it back from the job visit he was terminated by HR.

I cannot imagine the amount of interdepartmental caterwauling and carping that goes on.

Post Covid, digital communication tools like Microsoft Teams and Skype have made it much simpler to harass coworkers remotely.

Theres no longer a need to fight traffic and drive all the way to the office just to make someone else uncomfortable in your presence.

In fact, technology advancements have made it so you can now creepily stare at someone sitting on the opposite side of the globe, just like they're sitting at the conference table across from you.

I have to admit it's nice not having to worry about subordinates anymore. These days I go to work and have to put up with people making jokes about boners and rusty trombones thinking they're the first person to ever make that joke.

Sweetie, it wasn't funny the first thousand times I heard it and it ain't funny now ...

How did anyone miss that.

I was like 8 when I first saw an episode with the Flaming Moe in it. Just one of those jokes that went over my head and never landed I guess.


I watched this episode last night and it took me years to realize this was a joke.

You ***** about men on a lot of threads. What do you want us to do? Just give you anything you want and do whatever you say? Aren't you like very recently divorced or something? I think maybe that's clouding your thinking.

Do you expect your wife to never have a 1-1 with a man?

I regularly have 1:1 meetings with women. You folks wouldn't know any of them, though. They're all in...Canada. Yeah. Canada.
