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.

Correct. This is the 21st century. Sexual orientation is not considered a choice. I guess [capitalist] liberals are still stuck in the 90s when the Democratic Party supported DOMA. There is nothing wrong with being attracted to men. A good chunk of the planet's population, perhaps half, are attracted to men. Given bisexuality, it could even be over half.
One Soylentil has even admitted to being bisexual even if he's not yet had sex with another man. I think that was extraordinarily brave of him when all those who a.) have never had a menstrual cycle or b.) were assigned the male gender at birth are presumed to be attracted to women and only women (accomplishing bisexual erasure on top of garden variety homophobia).
