#2There's a chance the wife is having drinks with other men (just as friends) and she feels guilty so wants her husband to get drinks with other women as well.

Definitely. She's probably planing to get divorced. Come back to us in six months...

#4This seems to happen a lot. Sheryl Sandberg talks about this too especially with mentoring which requires a lot of a one on one meeting

#5The $10,000 pay difference between men and women in executive positions seems far from practically the same to me.

I think this underlines the point rather well -- it's SO improbable that sharing a drink is anything but romantic that you guys assume a divorce in 6months?
FWIW, my wife (Monica Guzman) is commenting actively on FB thread about this here. https://www.facebook.com/moniguzman/posts/759642049127?notif...

Fair point. It should be rephrased to mean, a much smaller gap than is commonly understood to exist.
I paraphrased from the event, and then added the data w/o double checking. Shame on me.

True, mentoring is necessarily one-on-one.

#9I'm a little puzzled. If you're uncomfortable having business drinks with women, and you've seen how a simple invitation can go badly in a sexual harassment context, why not just stop having drinks as a context for a business meeting with either men or women? Have lunch, get together for coffee, etc.
