Can't say I blame him. One false word and the career is over in an instant and possibly your whole life is ruined

Smart move. Never make it a "He said/She said" because you, as a man, don't have a voice.

good lord...it's 2016, what sensible man WOULD have women in a dressing room with the door closed? We can rage about the injustice and unfairness of it...but it's like walking through the lion cage at the zoo. If you don't know why NOT, you're probably got trouble coming.

Now that is a smart move. Never be alone with any woman without having audio equipment recording everything. It's totally legal and so important if ur famous and at risk.

In Jewish law a man is not allowed to be alone in a house with a woman, unless the front door is open.

I was raised up this way. We called it modesty.

I think it's in Saudi-Arabia where it takes the testimony of two women to overturn the testimony of one man. And, of course this is sexist. It's something a feminist will frown upon. But, in a sex-scandal it is the other way around here in the west. Women's testimonies is seen as more true than men's. Because reverse discrimination does not exist, you know.

Last week I was at work and we were about 8 people in a gathering area saying silly cheesy jokes, walks in a girl and an guy we did not know. we say hi, they dont respond and we keep on talking , then I say the word penis and vagina... (wanna hear a joke about penis, it's too long...) they storm out. 1o min later a supervisor comes in and an investigation was launched for using the word vagina... after everybody told what happen I was still found guilty and will have administrative consequences... Should I add this was in the army and we were training to drop tons of bombs on people....

The supposed guilt of Rolf Harris from events that occurred some 30 years ago are also highly suspect.

I mentioned a while ago that I refuse to be alone with women and minorities at work for the very reason, and I was absolutely lambasted. I don't want to do it, but the current legal and political climate has forced my hand on the matter.

Smart man. After what happened to Torvalds every prominent man might be smart to do this

Has the World really come to this? Life sometimes makes you want to weep

Sometimes I wonder how modern male celebrities even date.

I always think about this at work with the people I supervise. If I need to meet with a woman, I try to keep the door open. This is awkward when we need to talk about something private. Eg she needs to improve her work, or she's getting a raise--things not to blab to the entire office. I find myself either talking very quietly or, maybe, briefly shutting the door and re-opening it. Obviously, having a wing-man/woman in the meeting would be better, but sometimes it isn't practical.

I've chatted to a female supervisor about this, but she thinks I'm crazy and paranoid. Ha ha.

Its sad its come to this point but i understand why. One bad word and his career is gkne and he has a family

Chummers5 · 2016-06-27T00:36:08+00:00

This was my rule for coolers and dry storage when I worked in restaurants, at least until I could gauge if the person was a shit starter

I swear in today's time we need personal drones everyone has following themselves around just to prevent this kind of thing.

Lots of law firms intentionally build their conference rooms with a glass wall that looks out into the main office for just this reason. You have to protect client confidentiality. So you can keep the door closed but still anyone nearby can see in.

If I'm in a position of power, what types of precautions should I take when people come to visit me?

Office hours typically consist of private meetings.
