Will employers hire fewer women for fear of assault problems

and possible lawsuits? Pence will not go anywhere without his mommy due to his weak will and self control. Could the current atmosphere of sexual assault allegations lead to a backlash in the work force?

the wage gap. Men won’t work as cheaply, and also they shun certain jobs because “manhood.”

I'm not calling out the OP at all, but doesn't the scenario of less women being hired because of their willingness to report sexual assault or harassment strike you as a tad punitive? I mean, what does it suggest?..That women need to "accept" male abuse as a "condition" of having a job?

Now that Charlie Rose is toast perhaps they should hire more women since women usually do not harass others as much as men do. This could become a plus for women in the workplace. I like it.
