At this point, I would fear that it would become a sort of feminist win for a guy taking that approach to to take him down by claiming "he got me alone and did a Male Gaze at me! How will I ever survive?" I mean seriously, the feminists sensing that a man has a strategy to outmaneuver them would probably be extra double secret probation level determined to make an example of him. I think that's what happened to Prof. Marcy. He seems to have followed the Pence rule, not being alone with the women he worked with, and still gets de-personed for touches, that if they happened, were in populated spaces in broad daylight.

I really don't know what men can do at this point. Try and make an all-male space? It's discrimination. Treat women like ordinary coworkers? Be subject to left field accusations so far left nobody could see them coming. It's Kobayashi Maru.
