Any man who is afraid of mentoring a women must be scared because he knows he'll cross the line and sexually harass her. Why else would he be afraid?
BE has a totally different attitude re men and women. What would cause you to lose your job here would be a funny over there.
The slightest misspoken word or action and corporate America sides with the woman accuser, assumes you are guilty and brings in company lawyers immediately to protect the company.
No mentoring without 3rd party present.
go to corporate sponsored diversity training and be told white men are the most dangerous kind. Ask a question and be told, 'you disgust me!"
Meanwhile my boss can call me by her ex hubby's name....name not even close... and then follow up when challenged with, 'you sound just like Kenneth!"
Offer to change a flat tire in a company parking lot, covered by cameras, during the day, and get scolded by the woman for asking to help.
Women say and do things in corporate settings that would get a man an immediate escort out the door.
Women may make charges that are proven false by their own admission and suffer no consequence.
A VP gets a discount on 'don't sweat the small stuff for women', hands out a bunch of books, one runs to HR because she came across something she deemed offensive. guy gets probation.
Another guy handed out candy kisses on valentines day, one women runs to HR and the guy gets probation.
Plenty of women capable of mentoring a woman. Don't put a guy in danger. Then again, women seem to hate other woman coworkers for the slightest reasons. Good luck!
Society has made women walking time bombs for men. No thanks!
Historically that is correct -- but that is less about women being willing or able and more about being thought of as capable in those roles.
I once interviewed a woman for a truck driver position at a welding supply business where the drivers loaded their own trucks. I let her watch a truck get loaded. She decided she was not interested.

oh well there you have it -- one time one woman.....she represents us all.
How many guys did you interview that didn't show up that got the job or also wasn't interested......
To any people reading this thread who are offended by some of the comments: Take solace in knowing that this sort of mentality is unlikely to reproduce.
Actually, liberals reproduce at a much lower rate, though society does in general as well after women were thrust into the workforce. Families can rarely have it all.

If you believe that women are dangerous and awful, you are unlikely to reproduce.
This is not a liberal and conservative issue.
Conservatives do not believe that women are awful, incapable, liars. Pricks do, so do losers, and sometimes it's loser pricks.
I work in a professional environment and have been cautious about creating any sort of possible situation for long before #metoo because I had an old friend get wrongfully accused at their job which cleared up because the accusers didn't realize their was a camera in that area.
If you weren't watching your own back prior to #metoo then you're naive. (this isn't a negative aimed at #metoo, not their doing)
Bottom line. When I've had interns they all get the same attention at work but no way in heck I'd go out to lunch or otherwise socialize with them (if they're the opposite sex) outside of a group setting both for their comfort and my own.

I believe that you have a difficult time expressing yourself in an intelligible if not a polite and cogent manner. That's the only conclusion I have about this conversation.
Women cannot have it all. They can't insist on a culture that penalizes without due process, but then demand the fruits of a high trust society.
It'll never happen, ever. You can freak out all that you want, because you think that people can have everything no matter their behavior. I'm here to tell you that you're wrong and that fact has nothing to do with me or even anyone's decision whatsoever. Men will simply avoid people who are an extremely high risk to their lives. Because that's what these witch hunts do: they end livelihoods.
So, women have a choice. That's empowering, no?
Last, good people tend to reproduce.
Lots of good people are at risk from crazies or opportunists who are wrongly (and legally regressively) empowered to do severe damage with only an accusation. Even if those people choose to limit that risk in their lives, they will often reproduce.
Will the women reproduce who think that such an anti-due process culture is normal?
Let's see... They are already seeing their opportunity be reduced. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that people will also end to see them as risky dating options.
I wouldn't be so sure about whose reproduction will be affected in this situation.
