Sure seems like you shouldn't have a job if you're routinely telling your colleagues that you feel the need to record your interactions with women to prevent them from making false accusations of sexual harassment against you. Either you're lying, which isn't hard to believe, or your workplace is really, really terrible for women. Which is also not hard to believe.And it's not misogyny. It's just good sense. There has been a rash of accusations going around, many of them false, as has been shown in the Depp/Heard affair. The official fiction that false accusations are rare has been exposed as propaganda and pretense. There has not been a rash of male on male accusations, as noted.
But this is just sexist gibberish. There doesn't need to have been a rash of men accusing other men of sexual harassment for you to be accused of sexual harassment by a man. And there could, in fact, be many such accusations being made without your knowledge. You don't believe the data, you tell me, so surely you don't actually know anything about how often sexual harassment accusation are being made or who is making them. Or are you going to tell me that while the "official" data is fake, you somehow have the real data.I make the recordings a necessary condition of any such meetings ahead of time. If they balk, that is on them. Quit making assumptions.
The fact that you impose conditions on meetings with women that you do not impose on meetings with men is the very definition of sexism. You are treating your colleagues as if they are completely untrustworthy not based on any action or inaction their part, but solely because they are women and you think that women, in general, cannot be trusted. The fact that you have heard stories about untrustworthy women and based on that mistrust all women that you might work with only further proves that you are being sexist.Then again, as society is on the verge of collapse, I shouldn't expect anything more of people these days. A society in decline is prone to credulity, hasty assumptions, and mass hysteria.
My brother in Christ, internet weirdos have convinced you that half the population are so prone to making false accusations of sexual harassment that you need to record all your meetings with them. I do not think that you are in any position to be complaining about credulity, hasty assumptions, or mass hysteria.
Believe what you want to believe, but know this. You can't trust the official fiction here. It's unreliable and politically motivated, mostly carried out by neoliberal centrists who indulge in identity politics to distract from their garbage positions on economic issues. Another sign of the immense decline of society. I am far less credulous than those who believe ABC, NBC, CNN, or Fox. They're all propaganda ministries, the former for corporate Democrats, the latter for Republicans.
As someone once said, "If you don't watch the news, you're uninformed. If you do watch the news, you're misinformed."
