Jordan Peterson talked about how the modern era has brought new challenges to the workplace, specifically for men in the presence of women. Throughout history, most men did not work with women, but that has changed, and we are now just beginning to understand how increased contact between the sexes during the workday has all sorts of unintended consequences. Most sensible people understand how dangerous co-ed high schools are, yet many frum Jews still have not understood why men and women should not share workplaces. From my own limited (and sometimes unfortunate) experiences, I have made the commitment to never work at an institution where I have to deal with women in person, and it has worked for me for the last eight years.
