Forget “advice” — I will no longer 1) go out, even for coffee during the day, with a female colleague without a third person present, or 2) talk about anything not related to our work or light chitchat like weather or traffic.

This thread makes it clear that many women are already aware of this phenomenon and how it damages their careers, so ultimately there will be a backlash. My unsolicited advice would be to refrain from excessive cynicism and wait a decade.
