#MeToo backlash: More male managers avoid mentoring women or meeting alone with them

The unintended consequence of the #MeToo movement — that men are now more fearful of working one-on-one with women — is getting worse. Much worse.

Or at least, that’s the takeaway from a survey released Friday by LeanIn.org, the women’s self-empowerment organization founded by Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg. The survey found that 60 percent of male managers say they are uncomfortable doing common workplace activities with women such as mentoring, socializing or having one-on-one meetings — sharply up from 46 percent last year. Meanwhile, senior-level male managers were nine times more likely to say they hesitated to take work trips with junior women than they were with junior men, a gap that grew from just five times last year.

The rise was startling enough that Sandberg herself is speaking on it . . .
