An interesting idea came up at work today regarding the first women's metoo complaints about harassment followed by complaining that men weer avoiding them altogether. Since the females are still complaining non-stop, perhaps it might be wise to physically separate the two into different locations where there would be no interactions possible. Women work only with other women in one building, only men in another. Seems that this would be a win-win for everyone. Women would have no cause to be complaining about any man since there wouldn't be any around, men could do their work without having to worry about false harassment accusations from females. I think that would be the solution.

It s late at night, clinics are closed. You have a medical situation that isn t worth the time or effort to go to the hospital, yet you can t deal with it on your own; say you cut your arm in an awkward place, and it doesn t need stitches but it does need to be bandaged and you can t properly reach it to bandage it adequately. If you leave it unbandaged it could get infected. If you had to go to the hospital you d end up spending all night there (because we all know hospitals take forever) and therefore end up missing work the next day and face possibly getting fired (I know most work places can t realistically fire you over something like this, this is just an example). Is it appropriate to ask someone who cares about you to come over and help you? Or does that make you juvenile and you should not make your health someone else s responsibility? If it is acceptable to ask, and the person says no not because they can t, but because they just do not want to, does that make them unreliable? Consider that they know at least some of the impact that not helping you will have (that it won t reflect well on your job).
