Condoleezza Rice on #MeToo: 'Let's not turn women into snowflakes'

[moriah]

67. ''Well, maybe it's just better not to have women around.' I've heard a little bit of that."

I actually have too.

Male friend, older, conservative, introverted, uncomfortable with women in general anyway, asked me if I'd ever been made uncomfortable by him when we worked together as colleagues, because he was supervising a female and he didn't want to gst in trouble. I was glad he decided to reach out to me.

But then he said he was avoiding being alone with her at all, but not following the same policy with his male subordinates.

That I immediately had to say was counterproductive to women's careers -- you could leave the door open maybe and do that as a policy unless an employee asks for privacy, I said, if he was concerned about CYA, but no, he'd never even come close to inappropriate behavior, was definitely not a "toucher", blushed at anything remotely sexual.... he had nothing to worry about EXCEPT treating her like she's infectious by refusing to be alone with her ever but not males.
