Just FYI - dinner is normal esp at conferences, collabs, etc. but pool? 1 on 1 at the pool with a junior researcher ? Yeah nohttps://twitter.com/AnimaAnandkumar/status/1067941004450263040 …
You will be surprised how many men don't know the distinction. Like some famous people who have declared that they won't have dinner with women. That is harmful as well

Yes I have seen this when I was tweeting under my real name (I am a woman). Had a convo with a very smart man on here who was basically saying he wouldn't have lunch with me alone. lunch. with a woman in tech.

I lead a lab. I see very little real workplace need to have solo dinners with junior females (or males). It is perfectly possible to be an excellent mentor and good friend to the younger people without potentially ambiguous situations. The pool thing is just...beyond gross.

I am perfectly fine with dinners when we are short on time or we are meeting at cafes on weekends to discuss a project closer to home. In this case the invitation to the pool and giving me those looks makes it an unmistakable advance. That is more important than anything else

It's an overreaction, but these people are afraid of inadvertently becoming the next
#MeTooSTEM story. From a purely EV perspective, it makes sense. Why take the risk?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
