At Amazon today on one their largest email lists there is a discussion of why you should not say "hi" or any other communication with a female at any time but especially when standing at an elevator inside the building.
This position of loneliness is going to get worse before it gets better when the prevailing attitude is, don't talk to anyone.
- 2ad6466a 8y agoBetter Solution: Hire more women (say 2 per man) and watch sexual harrasement complaints drop to zero.
- bubblewrap 8y agoHorrifying. I don't think I could stand working for such a company.

- cced 8y agoInteresting. What is the logic behind not saying « hi » to females? I know that this is sexist, but I would at least give them the benefit of the doubt. Not being familiar with these email list, I’m unsure as to the general « feel » of these discussions. Can you provide more insight?
- philwelch 8y ago> Interesting. What is the logic behind not saying « hi » to females? Refusing to speak with someone is the safest way to avoid the appearance of sexually harassing them.
- bubblewrap 8y agoNot saying "hi" to women as a way of making women feel more welcome. Makes sense.
- wes-k 8y agoIs this person just being nice? Are they going to follow me? This is on my daily commute, is this going to become a thing? Does this person have an agenda? We may feel it is a simple and kind gesture but it isn’t. Because woman are harassed so freaking much they basically always have to be on guard. Never know when a nice person will turn into a creep or worse turn into an assailant. (It was only through my partner telling me her experiences that I learned these things)
- bubblewrap 8y agoPeople who feel like that should seek therapy. Seriously.
- cced 8y agoCan women say « hi » to women, or is the issue only when men say « hi » to women?
