That's why they also set up the narrative that "men aren't allowed to be cautious of women for fear of accusations."
So they set up the narrative that an accusation is enough to destroy a career AND men are evil for trying to avoid accusations in the first place.
Of those that did change their behavior, some responses show an unrealistic overreaction to the issue of harassment prevention, such as:
- “Don’t talk to women.”
- “[Avoid] any indirect or direct contact with others, any conversation one-on-one, asking permission to enter into 3-foot personal space and NEVER closer than 3 foot of another.”
- Not asking an employee to get lunch.
- No communication or contact with employees after business hours.
- No working after hours for groups smaller than three and a manager must be present.
Unrealistic rules and overreaction can cause backlash and make the problem worse because they move away from the real issue and can blame people who raise complaints. Other disappointing comments included:
- “Women are claiming anything at all. No due diligence and convicted before trial.”
- “People are looking to nail you for sexual harassment because it is a great excuse when they are not performing.”
And in fairness, it's not just men. They are trying to get Rosario Dawson cancelled from Star Wars too for being a transphobe. What's the evidence? Someone made a claim three years ago that was immediately dismissed. But that's all it takes now. There's no actual evidence of anything she's ever said. Just a random second hand accusation and it's just a fact now.
