Wall Street rule. Avoid women

[snowbird]

There's a Bloomberg article on it.

As helpful as always snowbird.

Let me guess: Women have called out the pervasive sexual harassment on Wall Street and the men in charge have responded by punishing women by refusing to hire them, promote them, talk to them, be alone with them, etc.?

Those poor men. As usual, it is all about them.

Good Lord. I saw this on my newsfeed today and passed it right by, but I can Google a link.

And as usual, jeffisjeff is right on the money:

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?

So yeah. Is there a particular point here, snowbird? Maybe it's that women should have just kept their purty little mouths shut 'cause now they've just gone and made things harder on themselves?

It's important to recognize the true victims of the #metoo movement - Men.

Thank you for the hotlink, Prancer. BTW, you.ll notice that the article was written by two women.

Some men have voiced concerns to me that a false accusation is what they fear,” said Zweig, the lawyer. “These men fear what they cannot control.”

The percentage of men who have been alleged to have sexually harassed a woman (or man) is really very tiny. There are plenty of 'good' men out there.

What women want is not to be sexually harassed - not to go a witchhunt just for the fun of it.

There are as many or more men who are responding in quite different ways. One, an investment adviser who manages about 100 employees, said he briefly reconsidered having one-on-one meetings with junior women. He thought about leaving his office door open, or inviting a third person into the room.

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.”

This.

It's the men who are doing the harassing, but the women who are getting punished - for being women. Happens time and time again.

And, in this case, probably mostly white upper class men. So much suffering!

No, I didn't notice. Does it really matter? Did they tell those men what to think or how to act?

Yes? Women are sometimes allowed to be journalists these days, even for the WSJ. What is your point?

OTOH, that might be why they included the solution to the problem: “Just try not to be an asshole.”

And the follow-up: “It’s really not that hard.”

This song 'A Scary Time for the Boys' has gone viral already.

It's the new snowbird. The old one posted links without saying what supposedly was in the link. The new one says what was supposedly in the link without posting a link.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

Thank you for the hotlink, Prancer.

Dear snowbird,

Here in the 21st century, we just call it a link.

Kind regards

Everyone

"female colleagues, particularly youthful or attractive ones" - it's funny - the worry about being alone or hiring these types, but they aren't also suddenly hiring old and ulgy ones to replace them. It sounds more like an excuse to just not hire women. Period. I did appreciate the two rules: Don't be an ass, it's not hard.
