You are very naive about this issue...
I get the impression that you feel that you were falsely accused by a woman at some point?

That's how rumors get started. Even if you're male, I suppose it's a good way to get a competitor out of the way for that sought after promotion. The word innuendo comes to mind.
Is that how you get competitors out of the way? Start rumors about them?
That's what those in or interested in management do. I wouldn't touch that game with a 10 foot Pole or even an 11 foot Italian. You seem pretty good at it though.
If you wouldn't ever do something like that, why do you assume that women would?
Observing from a distance.
This is probably why you have had such poor luck with American women your entire life. You view them as something "other." A strange group of humans to be observed and marveled at. You feel that they don't think like you or have the same values as you do. It is very hard to get close to someone if you can't empathize with them.
I fixed it for you. Things magically change South of the border. I noticed it when I was 10. The decade (age 15-25) or so I tried with American women was a wasted decade.
Using your numbers, which are probably inflated, If every year 3,000 men are falsely accused of sexual harassment in the workplace, and there are roughly 105 million men employed in the U.S., then you have a 0.003% chance of being falsely accused of sexual harassment in the workplace. You are more likely to be struck by lightning four separate times in your lifetime than to be falsely accused of sexual harassment in the workplace.
The difference is, with being struck by lightning there aren't any low effort, minimally inconveinent ways for me to significantly lower that already low risk.
I'm pretty sure that going inside during a thunder storm is a commonly used method to reduce the chances of being hit by lightning.
But using the logic of the poster I quoted, its irrational to go inside just because there is a little lightning. The risk is minimal, so why worry about it or take precautions?
The difference is, with being struck by lightning there aren't any low effort, minimally inconveinent ways for me to significantly lower that already low risk. Not mentoring women, avoiding being alone with women in the workplace, and other such precautions are not particularly disruptive to the average man's daily grind and doing so all but guarantees you will not be falsely accused - or at least that the false allegation would have little to no chance of doing any real harm.
So yes, its a minimal risk. But if you are one of the unlucky ones, it can ruin your life. And the actions that would significantly, if not entirely, reduce said risk are minimally disruptive to your life, so why not do so? Especially when we hear scary things like "intent doesn't matter" and "believe all victims" and other such prattle that comes from certain sectors.
I have been through maybe a dozen or so. I think they condition men not to interact with women. Even years ago, way before the formal corporate training, men often said to each other "don't **** where you eat". That means DO NOT fraternize with females at the company in any manner. It's been a given my whole professional life. With DECADES of such indoctrination, how would any man do anything that even comes close to sexual harassment? I don't get it. :shrug: So much as a greeting is a risk. Why chance it?
Damn you are really scared of women. First they are all trying to marry you to steal your money, now they won't let you harass them at work.
What is this world coming to?
Let's use the term abuse rather than harass. Women can raise their voice, make threats and it's all good. Only women have that option. I remember a female manager "predict" me having criminal fraudulent insurance rate file charges in my future after I uncovered false statistical methods in the underlying work. Why are you White Knighting for Queen Bees?
That makes no sense. Your proof that all women are out to get you is that a woman correctly predicted your crimes?

I have never seen this to be true. Who is in charge of your workplace that allows threatening people to continue to work there?
White Knighting for the Queen Bees? Good Lord. Women who are not subservient to you sure have you triggered.
Don't generalize to all women! I work with a woman every day, she's an amicable anti-feminist from India. Those are thankfully ex-workplaces. You can't be "triggered" by what's not in your life. Being adept at working with offshore and H1B teams has opened many doors for me. Indian teams have their faults, but I would take it any day of the week over having to deal with a sneering feminist.
