4. Hope no one takes further something that is a misunderstanding?
I dunno where we are going here, and I'm not sure all this stuff isn't confirming the exact opposite of everything people are hoping for.
I'm not sure why the next Harvey Weinstein won't act the exact same way ("You mean, I get to sleep with beautiful women for 30 years and then get outed worth 100s of millions? That's seems like a great deal")
I don't think anyone has any idea how this will shake out, but I won't be shocked if it is a bad outcome all around - from reduced funding for female startups to less mentoring to more gender apartheid in workplaces, to China's inevitable rise to world's largest economy and most influential country.
- debacle 9y agoI had an edit where I added: 4. Treat people like individuals. But I didn't want to needlessly extend the list, even though that's the most important advice you could give anyone about interacting with anyone else. Most people who commit sexual harassment aren't Harvey Weinstein. Most flirting is innocent, and in my experience either slightly awkward, ignored, or well received, but rarely uncomfortable. Most male/female relationships (or any relationships for that matter) in the workplace are healthy, friendly, and beneficial. There is a vast difference between inappropriate social interaction due to ignorance, and predatory social interaction due to malice.
