Leaving aside the monumental imbalance and the untold damage that men are inflicting upon women, those who are concerned about men not being treated fairly should also realize that inclusion is not a zero-sum game: there is ample evidence that sexual harassment in the workplace, aside from being socially repugnant, has strong negative consequences on professional women, hampering their ability to contribute to the full extent of their potential; furthermore, sexual harassment leads to decreased job satisfaction and decreased retention, with a resulting tangible hit on a company’s bottom line.

When you also consider the importance of being able to tap into a broad talent pool, and the fact that women tend to take on more collaborative tasks that benefit their entire team or company, it should be clear that any company’s effort to improve the wellbeing of women has the potential to have broad positive implications for the entire company.

Let me close with a message to my fellow male human beings:we all must stop thinking about sexual harassment as a women’s problem. We are the ones causing this problem, and it is our responsibility to fix it.

Not being a sexual harasser or even considering yourself an “ally” is not sufficient, we need to put an end to the inappropriate actions of our fellow men through our words and our actions. And those who complain that men are being somehow victimized or discriminated against, are either ignorant, insecure, or downright malevolent.

The next time you hear a man make veiled (or open) suggestions about the sad state of affairs for men because of #MeToo, tell them to stop whining and start doing what they can to fix the problem, instead of being a part of it.
