The problem is harassment. This article is talking about men avoiding being alone with women, to avoid the suspicion of third parties. Not really related to harassment. It would make sense if the concern was false accusations. They don't come out and say that. Maybe because that would be transparently sexist. Any colleague can accuse you of anything that happens in private. Furthermore, in these high profile cases, it's not a matter of one disturbed woman pointing the finger and ruining an innocent man's life. It's multiple accusers coming forward, showing a pattern of behavior over decades, at great risk to their careers. Are we really going to argue that the pendulum has swung too far? Side note: the article is curiously anachronistic, talking about "the opposite sex", as if everyone were straight. Also, when you think about it, the root problem is still sexism, this time a stereotype about men (the idea that a man can't have a professional relationship with a woman).
