You KNOW the reason #MeToo stopped being a thing was that it was hurting Democrats more than anything else.
The reason it stopped being a thing is that it was making people hate women.
They didn't want to have people awake to their goals until it was too late to stop them.
A double-whammy then.
It'll probably turn into a triple or quadruple-whammy over the next 5 to 10 years. Last I heard, men were far less likely to mentor or interact with women in the workplace post-#MeToo.
I don't blame them when a single word to HR can ruin your entire career. I follow the Mike Pence rule, myself. It's just good practice, honestly.
Started doing it before I even knew what it was. When I was going through training to be a teacher, the profs really emphasized how us men needed to make sure we were never alone with students (mainly the girls, but still) since it's basically a given you'll always be scrutinized by parents and others for molesting kids. To the profs' credit, they really stressed the importance of this with the women in the program too.
Good practices for the workplace but it wouldn't surprise me if we start seeing discrimination suits against men who're simply trying to protect their livelihood and reputation. Co-ed workplaces sure work out, huh?
I’m in my 40s and it used to be you could go to lunch or hangout with female coworkers after work - as colleagues.
Now even the interns know not to do these things. This movement removed women’s ability to create work relationships and knowledge by requiring a chaperone at every engagement.
And the worst part is it’s not your work friends that have an issue. It’s always THE OTHER WOMEN who will start rumors and drama where none existed. They definitely played themselves bc I go out with guys all the time for drinks and boating adventures outside work. I can’t do that with women anymore bc it will for sure cause a problem not worth having.
