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.

    Second time in this thread! Now we know why these men keep being "falsely" accused of sexual harrassment, and having their "reputations and careers" ruined! They can't spell!

    common for the girls to wear shear garments

    The word is sheer! "Shear garments" are what Auzzies wear when they go to the sheep. If you do not know the difference between "shear" and "sheer", maybe you are a male chauvanist pig, and deserve all you get.

    Hahahahahahahaha OMG. I'm laughing so hard I can barely type. You know what, buddy? You really, really, really ought to proofread your own post before hitting "submit" if you're gonna slam somebody for a typo or grammatical error.

    It's spelled, "chauvinist."

    It's true I am a mail chauvinist, though; I refuse to send parcels via regular post.

      I suspect it's Ari. He always slips in a further error, just to see if you are paying attention.
