Why would you talk to women at all professionally, unless there are reliable witnesses or video recordings?

As we increasingly see, witch hunts are already possible by deliberately misinterpreting written statements like mails or bug tracker messages.

I would not want to get into a he-said-she-said real life situation. Mike Pence understood this early.

Because I'm a professional, and strive to avoid treating people differently based on their gender/sex?

What about race?

I ask because if you took that same attitude towards race, you could easily be accused of colorblind racism.

>>zepto+jf
Same principle.

To be clear, I'm not saying that I do treat all people equally, regardless of their race, gender, sexuality, etc. I grew up in an environment filled with stereotypes, and they do seep through. I can only strive to avoid having that bias affect how I treat people. If it does leak through, I try to recognize it and do better in the future.

That is what is known as colorblind racism in current social justice thinking. The idea is that treating people equally is inappropriate because you are ignoring the impact of the various oppressions they have experienced.

Some people would go as far as to say this is a cornerstone of white supremacy.
