> Senior-level men are now far more hesitant to spend time with junior women than junior men across a range of basic work activities.3 They are:
> 12x more likely to hesitate to have 1-on-1 meetings
> 9x more likely to hesitate to travel together for work
> 6x more likely to hesitate to have work dinners.
I think a contributing factor is that harassment can ultimately be a he-said/she-said kind of deal. You hear horror stories about men being falsely accused and getting their lives ruined (though I don't know how big that number is, but it's something to get mad about so it gets a lot of attention). Exemplified by the 12x more likely to hesitate to have 1-on-1 meetings. Any fix for this seems to be bad, adding third parties, adding surveillance, etc. All of that points to 'one of these parties is not to be trusted'.
