Good point but conversing with women should be optional. Enough of them feel that way about men. If there is something you want, you go get it during your personal time. The workplace is supposed to be productive. After they are surrounded by women in the workplace all the time, they will be more receptive to men anyway, believe that....lol.
Another thing is once a person has settled down, having a segregated workplace makes it nearly impossible to cheat, our divorce rate is through the roof. Removing the opposite sex from everyones work place, removes the likelyhood of unnecessary problems and stress.
The only people most need of the opposite sex are already in their lives as friends and relatives. Everything else should be about getting money and enjoying life.
A simple rule between couples when out could be if the server is a man you converse with him, if the server is a woman, she converses with her. A couple should have the option to remove the opposite sex from their lives almost entirely, makes things more simple.
