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.

The vast majority of companies will simply ghost candidates that don't fit their bill, even without any malicious intent. So who's going to sue? The women who don't get any response to their application?
Seems to me the only people who are in a position to sue are either:
1. A manager willing to incriminate themselves;
2. An employee willing to risk being fired for speaking out;
3. An HR person with a soul
I don't know which is rarer.
