I know men saying they won't go to lunch/dinner with a woman because they could get a false harassment claim. I recognize there is some danger of that, but what's the best way to respond?

Dangerous times to be a man? I guess we'll overlook the centuries when women could be harassed and raped at will and everyone looked the other way. That wasn't danger, right? My bad.

First, I have never heard any man I have worked with in my 15 years in PA ever make such a stupid statement. A man can just as easily make a false allegation of harrassment against a woman. It's really simple - just keep your hands to yourself and don't make sexual advances towards your co-workers.

I actually addressed with a supervisor of mine that this causes a scenario where men are not mentoring women, and can further disadvantage our promotion potential. I made a pretty strong argument that I expected to grab a beer after work when on client visits and sit around and shoot the breeze as any of the guys would, since that tends to be when the real concessions occur. You just have to advocate for yourself and be straightforward about your expectations of equal treatment.
