Some brilliant non-solutions like:

Focusing on men’s fear deflects attention from the issues that triggered this response in the first place. Being afraid to mentor women is not simply about fearing false accusations of sexual misconduct: it is about discrediting women who speak out against sexual assault and harassment.41

In other words: man up, the future is female, disposable men

Hahahahaha ... I really love watching a good old fashioned plan by women backfiring.

"Being afraid to mentor women is not simply about fearing false accusations of sexual misconduct: it is about discrediting women who speak out against sexual assault and harassment"

Article written ENTIRELY by women -- heavily "biased" and basically just a collection of "bitchy" insinuations (absent ANYthing of substance to back it up) -- so they get away with things like:

The field of medicine is no exception. More women than ever are entering medical professions, but at all levels of training and practice, they continue to experience sexual harassment and gender discrimination.^1,2* For decades, women in medicine have encountered unwelcoming and hostile learning environments that have made it difficult to report transgressions.³** The #MeToo and Time’s Up movements have created a platform for women to challenge inappropriate gender-related treatment in the workplace.

* Right... and of course the MALE medical students never face ANY "sexual harassment" (women flirting with young attractive doctors... that's not "harassment" because...well because it's NOT, ok!); and of course they also never EVER face any "gender discrimination" (it's not like they're held to a HIGHER standard, forced to take the worst hours, etc... in favor of some "cutie" getting the easy shift).

** Yeah it's just like STEM... all of those "misogynistically oppressive" DIFFICULT subjects... they're "unwelcoming" (and therefore "hostile") learning environments, because women find them DIFFICULT. Obviously, medical school is a "cakewalk" for men...because, well they're MEN! It should be made EASIER so that women too can pass through without having to put in any of that "oppressive" crap like... you know, like "studying" and shit. (BTW that's ALREADY been happening and for decades now... affirmative action quotas have made it MUCH easier for women to GET INTO medical school than it is for men, period; what they're bitching about NOW is that, because the ENTRY standards for women have been lowered, those same LESS qualified female medical students are -- quelle surprise--having a MORE difficult time with the subjects that are, to be blunt, beyond their capacity to master.)

Also, side note -- the "references" linked to by the ^1,2 & ³ next to the highlighted lines: all VERY recent (i.e. #MeToo era) "meta studies" and "poll" based crap by gender biased feminist activist types. (Again, NOT really "substantive" basis.)

And then of course there are things like this:

In response, some men in positions of power now say they are afraid to participate in mentoring relationships with women. In a study focused on engaging men in gender-equity initiatives, 74% of male senior business managers cited fear as a barrier to men’s support for gender equity.4 A 2018 survey of nearly 3000 employed U.S. adults found that some men have stopped meeting alone with women, and others will not meet with women they do not know well or who are considered to be their subordinates.5 Men say they fear false allegations of sexual misconduct that could compromise their reputations and end their careers, even if they were found to be innocent.6,7

NOTE THAT. "Positions of POWER" -- not knowledge, expertise, etc...POWER.

Again that's what this is about -- what this is ALL about.

It isn't about women LEARNING to become doctors, it's about women wanting to essentially ASSASSINATE & then step into, USURP those **Positions of "POWER."*

Not equality...not equal opportunity, nor even equal outcome. The goal is POWER, period.

Yo! Bitches be bitches.

Finally... what the actual GOAL of this article is:

Instructing women (as if they didn't already KNOW this) that the BEST/EASIEST path to a "Position of Power" is... to accuse men (innocent? who cares) of sexual "misconduct" -- IOW women can get anything they want if they THREATEN a "sexual misconduct" allegation; and if that don't work... then play the victim and CLAIM/SCREEEEEAM "sexual misconduct" even if you have to LIE through your teeth about it.

A shit ton of writing to say fuck your fear and give me attention.

2018-10-05T18:57:53+00:00

That fear is entirely justified, and they never once recognized the legitimacy of them. Because the accusers are all victims? How do you know that? Where is the tangible evidence?

> Men say they fear false allegations of sexual misconduct that could compromise their reputations and end their careers, even if they were found to be innocent.

That's a great line. I'm going to try to memorize this

”Being afraid to mentor women is not simply about fearing false accusations of sexual misconduct: it is about discrediting women who speak out against sexual assault and harassment"

No, it’s about fear that I’ll be guilty before proven innocent and lose my job.

Again that's what this is about -- what this is ALL about.
