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.

    I'll "at ease" you, you fucking autocorrected pervert! We all now know your "situation". Hope you are keeping your photo, and address, current on the nice website the DOJ provides for you for free!

    Seems that the Eds have inadvertently given us another alt-right click-bait story, this time misogynist rather than racist. And now we are flooded with pathetic MRA incels. How do I know this? Read on, dear Soylentil. The Mignty Buzzard is the one making sense. That is always a bad sign.

    I think the schizophrenic anti-right troll from Slashdot has come over to Soylent News for a visit. Bonus points to be awarded for calling someone a Nazi.
