I used to work for a company that sells investment advice. The company has practices and tools in place to ensure that employees do not engage in insider trading. However, in addition to not allowing that to happen (because it's illegal, duh), the company aimed for this same standard - not even an appearance of impropriety. I too thought of this concept during the recent scandals. It's why some people are suggesting no one-on-one meetings ever between a man and a woman who are engaged (or potentially engaged) in a power relation like investment or employment. I don't know enough about this world to say whether that will hinder women entrepreneurs' progress, or how it could be done to avoid that, but I think this concept is important. And for whatever it's worth, if I end up walking behind or near a woman, in many cases but particularly at night, I will cross the street for the same reason.
