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.

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

You can either paint a group as the enemy or have them treat you in a decent manner. You don't get to have both.

Then if a group has targeted me as an enemy they can't expect for me to treat them decently?
Bit-choco-coin anyone?

Not reasonably, no. If you shit on someone it's absurd expect them to have a kindly predisposition towards you. Mostly they're going to want to return the favor.

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well."
You cannot control how they treat you. You can control how you treat them. Of course it depends on how you define, "decently."

Of course that leaves you blind, toothless, and standing in the rain naked and bruised.
Fuck turning the other cheek.

And this is why the Republican Party, Trump and Pence and Turtleneckman included, have abandoned Christianity. Jesus is for suckers! Only the strong will prevail! If they can lie enough! And avoid supoenas, and perjury, and breaking the Social Contract of the Mighty Khallow!!!!!!
