Totally ridiculous. Either you trust your spouse or you should get a divorce. But this whole “slinky vixens out to bone/blackmail my man” thing is gross.

I have done it lots of times. My current boss is based in another city. So is my previous boss (same organisation; my current boss now reports to my previous boss). On those rare occasions when I’m in the same city as either of them, we’ll usually have lunch or dinner together. I’m female, they’re both male and yet som…

That is so weird. I work with a lot of men and honestly none of them have ever made me uncomfortable. Its easy to not get accused of sexual harassment if you don’t sexually harass people...

“honest question—is it normal to have dinner with colleagues one on one?”

Not to mention how fucking awesome it would be to have a male ally on the lower rungs...since we’re stuck here. This guy could be a hero, but instead he’s whining about how hard this (“this” being “women getting fed up with being treated like shit, and finally feeling juuuust safe enough to say so”) is for him.

I had a boss who skated out of a sexual harassment charge. You know the kind of shit he used to do?

I recently went on a training seminar where my company sent two people. Me, and a male coworker. We ate dinner together 4 out of the 5 nights because, I dunno, what else are we gonna do? This training seminar was huge for me, it made it so I was the only person in my branch of the office who could use a key piece of…

It’s very simple: Don’t make SEXIST (not “sexist,” as sexism is a real thing) jokes. Don’t comment on a woman’s looks, body, or imagined sex life. Don’t stare at her tits. Don’t touch her. Speak to her in a professional, polite, friendly manner JUST LIKE YOU’RE ABLE TO PULL OFF WHEN SPEAKING TO MEN.

Since men have business dinners one-on-one, it’s essential for women to do it too. I have many times and not been harrassed.

I’m a married woman in a male dominated field. I have eaten dinner with a man one on one on business trips but one dinner that really sticks out to me is when a colleague and I wrapped up a huge successful project and wanted to celebrate. I suggested a quick bite, he wanted to go all out so we went to a nice…

is it normal to have dinner with colleagues one on one?

Yes, some are. As a man in his 50s, I have concluded that there is a certain breed of men in my generation and older who are simply incapable of understanding how sexual harassment works. I feel like it’s a knee-jerk reaction to how sexual politics have changed so much since we were raised and things that were…

I had a really disturbing conversation with a friend who said she would not “allow” her husband to have dinner with young female colleagues. Aside from the fact that she apparently can’t trust her husband if he’s off-leash, that is the kind of shit that holds women back at work. People really can work together without…

Damn, are they incapable of not making everything about them? Jesus. The solution is not to stop interacting with your female colleagues, the solution is simply to KEEP IT PROFESSIONAL. DON’T HARASS, DON’T ASSAULT. Why is that so fucking hard to understand? AAAAARRRGH, I’m having a rage stroke.

No, it’s passive-egressive behavior. They are shutting women out as punishment for their colleagues’ not being allowed to do whatever they want to them.

My gut feeling is that many of these men are guilty of harassment themselves and are now panicking at the idea that they’re about to get busted.

One investor, who spoke anonymously with the NYT, says that a “big chill came across Silicon Valley” as stories about sexual harassment and assault at tech companies became public. They claimed that people were now canceling networking meetings and even casual coffee dates with women and minorities, because there is…

Without getting into Nelly’s specific innocence or guilt (I don’t believe in the court of public opinion) — That’s an understandable mistake a lot of people make about rape. Rape isn’t about sex in most cases, it’s about power.The power to take something that they believe the victim would not have offered them. The…

I find it depressing when basic civility is surprising.

I’ve dealt with a lifetime of ridicule from my family about how I always “tip-toe around the house”, due to the way I always seem to walk on the balls of my feet. My calf muscles are MONSTROUS, and are SO MUCH more defined than any of my other muscles, haha.
