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.

    Bull shit. Hormones are hormones. Maybe your testicles never descended, but most guys between the ages of 13 and 30 think of sex at least 20 hours out of every day. Except for incels, maybe.

    I think we have here a homely warthog here angry at her inability to find a significant other for herself. She sees all her girlfriends getting laid at the drop of a hat and the rages at the unfairness of it all. She couldn't get screwed at a convention of Jewish insurance salesmen. The "incels" infuriate her the most. More potential mates have removed themselves from the pool of potential candidates beyond her reach. She needs our pity, not our scorn.

      Just a nitpick, but incels are not willingly removing themselves.

        Correct. This is the 21st century. Sexual orientation is not considered a choice. I guess [capitalist] liberals are still stuck in the 90s when the Democratic Party supported DOMA. There is nothing wrong with being attracted to men. A good chunk of the planet's population, perhaps half, are attracted to men. Given bisexuality, it could even be over half.

        One Soylentil has even admitted to being bisexual even if he's not yet had sex with another man. I think that was extraordinarily brave of him when all those who a.) have never had a menstrual cycle or b.) were assigned the male gender at birth are presumed to be attracted to women and only women (accomplishing bisexual erasure on top of garden variety homophobia).

        Actually, they are, by being such soy-boy pathetic excuses for real men! They should just admit they want to be catamites.

    You have just removed your arguments from the realm of rational discussion by using the neologistic insult "incel".

      You fuching "incel"! You are an involutary celibate, because you did not join the Catholic Clergy or the Corps of Marines, where men are men, and if you push on their belly buttons . . . never mind. Incels are not incels, they are assholes, assholes toward women, and such assholes that even gay men have no interest in their assholes! The whole thing is a scam, a pretence, a folloraderadole. Incels! Ha! If they wanted to get laid, they could just try being nice toward their fellow human beings, of whatever gender.
