I suspect very few are truly terrified...
and instead are either too lazy to put in an effort, or too apethetic to do much more than "Smoke weed and/or play video games", as timberline stated.
Frankly, more often than not, it isn't worth it, especially in the face of those women who do nothing but judge us and criticize us endlessly, only to drop us anyway.
The benefits of female companionship have fallen of dramatically, relative to the risks of divorce, nasty fights, etc. In dating as in economics, when something rewards less and pays off less, you get less of it.

So there is some compartment in which females are regarded as people (work) and other compartments in which females are regarded as not people but fleshy things to acquire (not work)?
Essentially, yes. You DON'T get too personal at work.
Do they not go to work? Are there no members of the opposite sex where they work? So they not go to social events? I am trying to imagine a world where this happens. I go to work every day with men who somehow DON'T freak out that I am female. Speaking to me is not a problem. They open their mouths. Their thoughts come out. What is the problem?
I am retired on pension now, though my career field was / is one where it is all male. Only in the past 3 years have they began trying to introduce females into the work environment.
I am a career submariner. I served as a crew member on various US subs, usually underwater for 7 months of each year.
Sub crews have a fairly high divorce rate. I was able to lock into a long-term marriage. Through the 70s, 80s, and 90s; I served with many hundreds of other crew members, among them I have only known 4 others who have had successful long-term marriages.
The sub community tends to have a lot of female-haters.
I do not think that any of us are really 'terrified' of females, rather they hate the effect females have on themselves. How stupid they get when they are exposed to females, and how much it costs when the female files for divorce.
Living in an environment where there are no female pheromones our hormones do not get triggered the way that they would be triggered if we were exposed to female pheromones on a daily basis.
As one of my many duties; I served as budget counselor. I have helped many crewmen after their ex-wife had filed for divorce 'in-absentia'. We surface and among our first mail-bags will normally be past-due bills, bank notices of maxxed credit cards, legal notices from courts telling the crew member that he is now divorced and how much he owes in alimony, and then notices of how far behind he is in making his alimony payments. I have helped guys through this process dozens of times.
I think they feel safe in their work environment because they are doing something they are good at. So people don't perceive them as very different.
It is outside of work where they often hide from the opposite sex.
When you get off from work and leave the base, it is common to want to 'go out' or to party. In our culture that generally means going to a bar. So it is at a bar where your first exposure to females will happen.

Put in an effort to do what? For someone who has anxiety talking about work related issues is easy. Talking about your personal life is hard.
I've never met anyone who was terrified of the opposite sex. Is this a real thing or just one of these crazy questions someone randomly comes up with?
Yes, I think the intent was just to mock the posters in the Relationships forum who struggle with dating and communicating with the opposite sex. Now that the thread has been moved to this forum, people are trying to take it seriously and I don't believe it was meant to be taken that seriously.
I have a condition much like the one OP is alluding to
I'm a 21 year old male and am afraid of women
Here's how I do things
- I never frequent establishments where I know women will be present (cafes, malls, movie theatres, etc)
- Never go to clubs or parties
- Never commute to college during prime hours. Only in the evening, early morning or weekends
- One of the reasons I take online classes is to avoid women
- I never make eye contact with them, stick to looking at the ground
- I avoid them whenever possible. When I see a girl or a group of girls, I get out of dodge to the best of my ability
- I never apply for job positions where I know I'll be interacting with lots of women. If I do have to work with women, I avoid them and only speak to them briefly when I have to
- I wear hoodies so women can't see my face
I was made fun of and mocked by women relentlessly growing up. I am ugly, ethnic, short and scrawny. I have no self confidence as a young adult and I'm very socially awkward. This is where the fear of women comes from
For a full time career, I plan on working with computers so not a lot of physical interaction
