In 50 years there will be no courting, dating or seduction. Everything will have to be in writing (probably through an app.)

And the fairer sex will STILL complain that there are NO true old fashioned gentlemen.

Congrats.

But the point may have been missed on what I, and others, are getting at in a thread such as this.

Agree. Increasingly typical 'launch to judgement'. Sadly, just another glaring example of the derangement and hysteria that has permeated the workplace.

Better to keep thoughts and opinions to one's self than risk the repercussions. Why bother when, as depicted above, even the lightest of humor or bland conversation can be construed as offensive. If a 35 year old vague and uncorroborated accusation can derail a Supreme Court Justice confirmation and destroy the reputation of a good man, there's no telling what can happen.

As our elected leaders have demanded, "...Men in this country need to just shut up".

Intent is no longer relevant. Only perception.

The world is full of mixed signals. Wars have started because of someone is certain that their "perception is reality."

That's why you have to understand that in many cases perception is the reality.

Being absolutely correct about reality will not save you from the repercussions of other people's perception.
