No one is denying that at all. It’s because the vast majority of men are “touchy, grabby, feely” douchebags that we’ve found ourselves at this point in society. I was fortunate that my parents taught me to keep my hands to myself and to not say anything that I wouldn’t feel comfortable having broadcast over a PA speaker. But, I’m still a middle aged white dude. That means I’m lumped into the same category as trump, Weinstein, Lauer, etc. It’s just easier for my own mental health to completely avoid any and all scenarios that might give the slightest hint of impropriety.

I have no problem working with my female coworkers. I just keep it absolutely professional and will never socialize off the aircraft.
