  The article describes men who feel so incapable of expressing themselves in a way that can't be reasonably construed as sexist that they don't say anything. I think this is irrational, demeaning to women, and frankly pathetic.

    > in a way that can't be reasonably construed as sexist "Reasonable" is the key word there. I think that one of the points in TFA is that the misconstruction doesn't need to reasonable to kill someone's career.

      Also, in the public opinion court, it's no longer innocent until proven guilty, it's #believeallwomen. The pendulum has swung too far and it's time we center and de-radicalize the messages we carry around.

    No, you must have missed the last 2 decades of "everything is sexist" narrative [1]. You can't expect for this to go on and have no counter-reaction. Men simply remove themselves from the conversations to not be labeled as sexists. Not because they are, but because there are so many women who interpret everything men do as sexist.
