Fast Company:

LeanIn.org and SurveyMonkey just released the results of a survey on the state of men and women interacting in the workplace in the age of #MeToo. The results are frustrating. The data reveals that 60% of male managers say they are uncomfortable performing common workplace activities such as mentoring, working one on one, or socializing with a woman. That's a 32% increase over last year.

To add insult to insult, senior-level men who were surveyed are now far more hesitant to spend time with junior female colleagues than junior male ones, across a range of basic work activities. The men were 12 times more likely to hesitate to have one-on-one meetings, nine times more likely to hesitate to travel with a junior woman for work, and six times more likely to hesitate to have a work dinner with a junior woman.

(Emphasis from original retained.)

A 32% increase in one year is a dramatic social trend.

    End game of this is sharia law. These problems will just be avoided by near total segregation of men and women.

    This, exactly.

    Where everyone is looking at the middle East going, "That's fucked up!" the women in the US are looking at it and going, "Hey, that's pretty good for the men! Lets do that over here." False rape claims, constant victimization, an inability to go outside without fear, no male is innocent without their choosing female to vouch for them. Unless you're an accompanied male, there's no reason for you to be out -- you must be committing a crime. You criminal!

      If you find yourself constantly accused of wrongdoing out in public then maybe you shouldn't be allowed to roam the streets unaccompanied. Most of the rest of us manage to behave ourselves reasonably well even when we are not chaperoned. Just sayin'.

        That is the same justification the (Neo-) Nazis use on the Jews. "When you have been kicked out of almost every civilization on Earth, you are not the victim".

    And pretty much that seems to be the end goal of the current neofeminism.
