I mentor plenty of people, women included, thank you very much. I am always willing to help.

What I am not willing to do is stick my and my families' neck on the line and take unnecessary career risks. I don't run in fear of women, I just take necessary precautions when dealing with a hazard.

I didn't create this environment where males, especially white middle-class males, are morally wrong for simply existing. And where any comment you say could be posted on twitter and you have a mob of people who say such nice things as "kill white people" are ready to harass you until you lose your job and everything you worked for. I am just reacting to it in a way that prevents me from falling victim to what I see as a threat to my career and protects my livelyhood and family.

Twenty years ago, I never felt like being alone with a woman in the office was a danger. Now, I feel like if I am not taking active measures, I could be crucified by HR, females, and the twitter / internet mob in the blink of an eye for simply making a comment that was taken the wrong way.
