Folks, I have promised myself that I will not discuss politics here, as it is a sensitive area where people clash due to differing views on various issues, often rooted in their individual beliefs.
However, one area stands out, and I cannot remain passive without raising the concern.
As you know, all across the world, the new tendency against men’s sexuality spreads like a fire with a #MeToo crusade.
Yes, guys, it is now a reality of everyday life not only here, in the U.S., but also in many democracy-based countries, including even Israel.
Here is the story of one businessman. About a month ago, he was sent on a business trip with the woman, his coworker, who was not exceptional in the company. During the discussion with the company’s partners, he realized that she was not ready for the debate and, in many cases, revealed her incompetence. The guy has figured out that he cannot rely on her, and, on the way home, he has expressed concern about her knowledge.
“In this case,” she said, “I also have something to tell you, too. I am very displeased with your behavior during our business trip, particularly, what you have allowed yourself with me…”.
In short, she has clarified that if he says anything negative about her job performance to their boss, she will reveal that the guy sexually harassed her.
In fact, there was absolutely nothing like that! They had two dinners together in restaurants, where they discussed their families, but not their intimate lives.
Suddenly, the guy has realized that after the beginning of that damned #MeToo campaign, even such an innocent conversation can be turned against you. Women got a powerful weapon to manipulate men, and they began using it shamelessly.
You can’t believe how it changes working relationships inside a company. Instead of concentrating on completing numerous professional tasks and discussing them with women coworkers at the same level, many men are concerned about choosing their words, so that God forbid, they will not have a double meaning. And that double meaning can be a cause to sue the person for harassment.
I can tell you even more: many folks began avoiding any work with women and prefer to work with men only!
– No dinners with female colleagues
– Don’t sit next to them on flights
– Book hotel rooms on different floors
– Avoid one-on-one meetings
It is also understandable that, in our time of political correctness, you cannot openly announce that you do not wish to work with women. I will wonder how many hours will be left until the HR person shows you the door.
All of the above will come back to haunt them, either sooner or later, because the same HR department will quietly avoid hiring women, especially the attractive ones, to evade a potential problem. Even if the statistics say that about 80% of the sexual harassment cases are being closed due to the lack of reasonable proof, the reputation of the company matters.
If you think I am entirely against the #MeToo movement, you are wrong. Just imagine that some jerk at work is harassing your wife, daughter, or girlfriend. You would be ready to strangle him with your own hands, don’t you? However, this movement went out of normal proportion!
Some ladies use it to strip money from the wealthy men whom they dated 25-30 years ago. Others use it to punish a person for something they think he has done wrong or to push him out of the competition. Should I provide the examples?
The relationships between co-workers became unhealthy. It was a tradition to say a compliment, such as "You look good today," shake her hand, or offer to bring a cup of coffee when you went to the coffee machine. Now… It’s better to stay away.
It is a known fact that some woman used their sexuality to advance their career. Now, when the male manager invites the female coworker into an office to discuss business, he would keep the door open or ask a third person to be present.
Is it normal?!
Our media is always happy to announce the subsequent sexual harassment scandal, but never attempts to show the other side of the coin.
In light of the #MeToo movement, could you keep in mind what I said here when considering dating a girl from your office? God forbid, you are her manager…. It's better to go to the library, shopping center, or bar to find a date.
I will post some additional thoughts on men’s social life for discussion. Your input will be appreciated.
