This whole article is very much of interest to me, since I have two close female colleagues, a woman boss and a number of female customers at my new day job. All the points are good, but here’s one that needs to be made more often:

“A man’s evolved frontal lobe — should he choose to use it — allows judgment, prudence, self-regulation and impulse control. Self-awareness means not pretending to be invulnerable to feelings of attraction, but also not giving into them and thereby putting the mentoring relationship, the female mentee and themselves in harm’s way.”

    “Although brain studies reveal only slight distinctions between men and women in most areas of the brain, with as much variation within each sex as between them, these differences are often used to validate stereotypical behaviors and attributes we ascribe to each gender.”

    I’m guessing a couple of men didn’t elect to use their “evolved frontal lobes.” lol
