'...this antiquated approach rests on several problematic assumptions (that men are incapable of respecting women, chief among them) and causes several more issues.'
When it comes to sexual harassment, Vice President Mike Pence takes a very different tack from our Commander in Chief.that he won't have dinner alone with a woman who's not his wife, and he also requests his wife's presence at any events where alcohol is present.
While many are fans of this very traditional sense of propriety, this antiquated approach rests on several problematic assumptions and causes several more issues: How might a woman on Pence's staff be impacted if he meets one-on-one with all of his male direct reports, but refuses to do so with her? When the majority of corporate leaders are men, how can women receive proper mentorship if men decide they can't be alone with women?In summary: when men hold the power, creating excuses to create men-only spaces puts women at an inherent disadvantage.
