Men ejecting girls

They're just being extra-careful to cover their bases to avoid dangerous lawsuits.

It's not that I don't see why they are doing this, but I believe in equality by principle, so I'm totally against this.

I had to deal with a double standard like that at one of my old jobs.

When I used to work for a gas station, the girls weren't allowed to take out the trash after the sun went down because "all of the crazies". So why should I have to deal with "all of the crazies" just because I have a dick? If it's unsafe outside, then it's fucking unsafe. And do you know what makes the story even funnier? I was working at a gas station in probably one of the richest cities in a 500 mile radius. Lotsa crazy people like bums and crack dealers out there I tell ya...

But yeah, equality for women and all that. Hoorah!

So we should put up with this shit out of fear? You're what's wrong with the developed world. Keeping your mouth shut and being a doormat to these kinds of policies only makes it worse. These practices need to be fought, not accepted.

Are you opposed to the company policy in question, or opposed to the current cultural realities that make this type of policy necessary?

If it's the former, I'm guilty as charged. I work in a public school, and I self-impose restrictions on my interactions with the students that my work brings me into almost daily contact with, especially the girls. Specifically, my office door stays open if I'm talking to a student rather than an adult. If I have to render assistance using a computer, the student and I go to a public area where computers are available rather than using the workstation in my office. I have a female staff member with me at all times when I need to do work in a female locker room, and that staff member makes sure that the area is empty before I step foot inside.

In addition, any remotely questionable encounter that I have with a student is reported to the an administrator as quickly as possible, so that they have the facts in front of them if there's trouble later.

It protects the students from potential rumors spread by others, it protects me from false accusations, and it protects my employer from lawsuits based on any false accusations.

If it's the latter, I'm open to suggestions on how to single-handedly change our current cultural realities so that all hurtful rumors and false accusations of misconduct magically disappear. Until then, I guess that I'll have to continue being what's wrong with the developed world so long as I have to continue working for a living.
