I guess people here are less afraid of false accusations, and more of 1) actual wrongdoing, and 2) creating wierd rules that they feel are sexist or anachronistic. Just to insure myself against potential false allegations of affairs or harrasment doesn't seem to be reason enough to advise that kind of segregation. Also its a slippery slope: it may start as a precaution, but if widespread, it becomes semi-mandatory. The comparison with Saudi Arabia is hyperbolic of course, but I think not too far fetched. Everywhere where men and women are segregated, the stated motivation is not misogyny, but to protect women, and some kind of decency. It only ever looks wrong from the outside.
