And wow that you think that mentoring a female is an act of charity rather than a good business practice to develop and promote all talented individuals regardless of their chromosomal array or genitalia. Speaks a lot about you as a person.
I think we're talking about different things. I'm not talking about pairing up experienced employees with junior employees to speed up their skill learning. That's certainly part of it and necessary on the lower levels. But its the mentoring higher up the ladder that matters more.
Industry leaders, people like CEO's of companies look for young ambitious talent to boost their careers. It's a rare privilege given to extremely few people. Typically it's the sons or daughters of the already powerful. But now and again an extremely bright young person pops in out if nowhere and impresses the higher ups, and gets included into these exclusive inner circles.
It's important because it's these young mentored people who later become the new powerful elite. They're the people who staff our companies. So it matters.
And what you think they should be doing doesn't matter. Irs what they do that matters. We have a situation where sexual abuse witch hunts have become normalised. People respond to incentives. If people stop demanding evidence for sexual assault before punishing the men, women will be ejected from any place they are able to make accusations.
Also, think about what you are defending. You are defending witch hunts. Are you really cool with that? Don't you think that is a problem?
