I mostly agree with the article, I have been in a position of giving business/career advices a few times in my life, and I also remain silent (or plainly refuse to interact with women/poc) for this exact reason. Whenever I am asked for advices or feedback I am often in a position where I have nothing to win, I would gladly help and genuinely share my knowledge so that other people don't make the same mistakes or gain a different perspective, but there is a small probability I will lose something (reputation, being labeled a sexist or whatever) Therefore, pure logical reasoning push me toward "not helping". I am more lenient with people I have known for some time (even if they are just acquaintances). But for strangers/employees who seek advice, I stay far away from women and only interact with them if another person is in a room, or I am being recorded.
