It started with rumours: women reporting that men in their offices had suddenly started declining meetings with them or were insisting on leaving the door open.
A human resources consultant reported executives telling her that they would no longer get into an elevator alone with a woman. Suddenly, it began to snowball -— story after story of men abruptly cancelling business lunches or avoiding women they had previously mentored.
In the same way that the MGTOW movement turns the structural oppression of women on its head, claiming men are the true victims of gender bias, this spate of mainstream examples sought to cast men as the real victims of the MeToo movement.
Men, it argued, had little choice but to protect themselves from the all-powerful cabal of rampaging, vindictive women making false accusations. Even if the solution was as extreme as total isolation. If someone in your hospital says you had inappropriate contact with this woman, you get suspended for an investigation, and your life is over.
Does that ever leave you? The woman-shunning has even penetrated as far as the White House , where the vice-president, Mike Pence, spawned what is now known as the Pence Rule after he remarked that he would never eat a meal alone with a woman who is not his wife.
Reporting on such an idea might have once been seen as inflammatory or biased, requiring careful and robust presentation of opposing arguments.
But, as soon as it was attached to Pence, it became respectable fodder for widespread coverage. Just a thought. Before long, a book had been published to spread the word.
Be smart Defend yourself, your career, your family and your life from the false accusations of women today and into the future. Nor does it remain a niche idea: a study found that 27 per cent of American men now avoid one-on-one meetings with female colleagues.
So the ideas we might think of as the shadowy, ridiculous concerns of the extreme internet fringes are actually being waved under our very noses from the White House front lawn. See a sample.

Paradoxically, these self-proclaimed losers also exhibit a kind of hyper-masculinity. The cultish nature of incels is not an aberration but an extension of male psychological development: a need to control mixed with a sense of humiliation.
Damn you, Mother Nature. Men are not victims and incels represent the worst in men: how they refuse to accept their own responsibilities and their reluctance to know themselves or admit what lives in their unconscious. The root of this is shame and frustration, which analysts believe comes from a childhood spent feeling impotent in the shadow of the father castration anxiety and separated from the mother. Masculinity, therefore, is a defence mechanism.
One version is hyper-masculine — childish, violent, vain and sexually aggressive — while the other becomes indecisive, weak and caring but feckless. The story ends with the idea that the nice Kirk needs the nasty Kirk to command the ship, so they find a way of splicing them back together again.
Neither does the end of masculinity mean the end of desire or sex of any variety. No man is binary in this way. But how can we break down masculinity and the misogyny that comes with it? I found unanimity among the experts that I spoke to. If the problem starts with childhood, so does the solution.
For this to happen, we need to reconsider the value of social engineering. PUAs profit from workshops teaching shy men how to insult women to get their attention and try their luck. Such tactics are predicated on the idea that women are just Pavlovian reflex machines, without agency or choice.
Both groups, Bates points out, essentially think of women as slot machines for sex.
