Re: Men, commit to mentor women
#2Most important thing in modern America is to protect yourself and your reputation from assault as a simple accusation can destroy your life and plenty of people lie. Some rhetoric is not going to change that fact.

#3Only in America.
Women is very dangerous, be aware.
On serious note, somebody should do a startup which trains men to work with women.
Apparently opportunity is huge. Should be the first slide. 60% of all men...

#5It’s a simple risk reward call. There is far more risk of accidentally crossing the line with the opposite sex. Yes MeToo has shed light on a lot and no doubt been a net positive but there will be a time until the dust settles and people learn how to work together safely. We no longer have a good formal set of norms for male female interaction. Maybe that could make some sense in situations like the work place where there is a power difference.

> which trains men to work with women.
Immediately will be labeled as sexist and forced to close business. You can't win this battle, best way is to not play.

#7What the heck.
As a (trans) woman who is non-tech in a tech company I find this stat concerning.
Just talk to me like a I'm a fellow human, it's not that hard!
PS; not too sure what 'working alone' means in terms of a common work activity?
Re: Men, commit to mentor women
#8Ridiculous. Perhaps these people should go back to school and learn how to talk to others?

#9> Senior-level men are now far more hesitant to spend time with junior women than junior men across a range of basic work activities.3 They are:
> 12x more likely to hesitate to have 1-on-1 meetings
> 9x more likely to hesitate to travel together for work
> 6x more likely to hesitate to have work dinners.
I think a contributing factor is that harassment can ultimately be a he-said/she-said kind of deal. You hear horror stories about men being falsely accused and getting their lives ruined (though I don't know how big that number is, but it's something to get mad about so it gets a lot of attention). Exemplified by the 12x more likely to hesitate to have 1-on-1 meetings. Any fix for this seems to be bad, adding third parties, adding surveillance, etc. All of that points to 'one of these parties is not to be trusted'.

No training needed, just treat us like fellow human beings. It's not a high bar.
