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 "eastern cultures" (basically muslims) are right about women being tempting, but their solution is for men who really can't control themselves at all.
We don't need the covering. Traditional western culture simply keeps the women out of the normal workplace. Teaching little kids is an exception; there are no male coworkers in the room so that is OK.
It's fine to dress skimpy. I think it is great for single women and accompanied women. Just stay out of the workplace.
This isn't suffering. Wages would be higher. Wages dropped when women entered the workplace. Families would stay together.
