Showing Original Post only (View all)The Rock Test: A Hack for Men Who Dont Want To Be Accused of Sexual Harassment [View all]
https://medium.com/annevictoriaclark/the-rock-test-a-hack-for-men-who-dont-want-to-be-accused-of-sexual-harassment-73c45e0b49afAre you a man confused on how to treat the women you work with? Do you feel like if you cant say or do *anything* you dont know what to say or do at all? Well stress no more! This life hack will have you treating women like people in no time.

While navigating professional relationships can often require that dreaded thing known as any amount of work at all, there is hope. You see, by following this one simple rule, you too can interact with women as people.
Its as clear cut as this: Treat all women like you would treat Dwayne The Rock Johnson.
