I can assure you that many older professional white men are conciously avoiding 1:1 interactions with women (moreso those under 40) and minorities in the workplace today.

It would be dumb to assume this doesn’t impact managers hiring decisions, conciously or unconciously. Olds can just think of it as culture fit.

If true, it says a lot more about the men than anything else.

Oh : acting in your best interests is "telling", so?

Strange : society and "systems" are responsible for everything when it's about certain people but individuality and personal responsibility are the reason when it's other type of people...

Perhaps not men but human nature. Avoiding conflict is not a male trait.
