[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep, we middle-aged men can't be allowed to mentor or otherwise involve ourselves with young women at work, even accompanied by our S/O or spouse.

It's because all of the other women will assume we're trying to get in her pants.  Or that she's sleeping with us.

Honestly, if women are ever going to get a break, the first one is going to have to come from other women, but I'm not holding my breath.  [/quote]

[b]How is purchasing a birthday gift, especially one that is an “experience” that must be shared with the mentor outside of work professional mentorship?

[/b]Your response is equivalent to men who pout because they’re no longer “allowed” to compliment women’s bodies in the workplace. Women never needed that crap in the first place. [/quote]

You're right, I wasn't thinking.  I won't invite women at work to play golf or tennis with the boys anymore, either.  It's not "professional" and contributes nothing to their development and advancement.  [/quote]

Golf game =/= concert

One is a well-established event used to network and socialize. The other is an excuse to get drunk and listen to music.[/quote]

Actually lots and lots of socializing between men goes on in my industry (IT Sales) outside of work between men. Acting like all men who invite colleagues out are wanting to get in their pants is just harmful to women.  When women miss out on these opportunities, they miss out on much more than a concert.

there are always tickets floating around my office. Hockey play off games last year, even the Stanley cup, countless concerts at VZ, Jiffy Lube, ect...If men only ask men, due to fear mongering then its only women who get hurt.[/quote]
