No more dinners with female colleagues. Don’t sit next to them on flights. Book hotel rooms on different floors. Avoid one-on-one meetings.

In fact, as a wealth adviser put it, just hiring a woman these days is “an unknown risk.” What if she took something he said the wrong way?

Across Wall Street, men are adopting controversial strategies for the #MeToo era and, in the process, making life even harder for women.

Call it the Pence Effect, after U.S. Vice President Mike Pence, who has said he avoids dining alone with any woman other than his wife. In finance, the overarching impact can be, in essence, gender segregation.



So while the employed man will walk the line between harassment and discrimination, the rate of mentoring opportunities for women will suffer....and all because they really don't want to be equal, they want, as usual, to be special.
So have the false accusations that fuel the #metoo run their cours to where true equality is emerging in the workplace? or have women overplayed their hand at the labor negotiation table?

Finally, he landed on the solution: “Just try not to be an asshole.”

That’s pretty much the bottom line, said Ron Biscardi, chief executive officer of Context Capital Partners. “It’s really not that hard.”

which is a great solution, but you can do nothing and be guilty just for being accused....which ain't cost effective.
