> incompatible with maintaining a non-hostile workplace environment for employees
More commonly, this happens the other way around. For example, in Monica Helms' autobiography, he writes:
> Shortly after one of the training sessions had finished, I held back from leaving the training room and watched all the women make their way to the third-floor restroom. I had to pee too, so I went into the restroom I had become accustomed to using. The other
women made it immediately clear they didn't want me there. Some
gave me the evil eye while others rushed out when they saw me. I did my best to ignore them, stepped into a stall and did my thing. Then I went back to my desk to carry on with my work. Twenty minutes later, HR called me into their office.
> The new head of HR told me, "Some of the women have
complained that you went into the third-floor restroom after today's training session."
Showing no empathy whatsoever for the women he imposed his presence on, he then goes on to explain how the company caved to his demands to use the female restroom, and that women who complained were given short shrift.
Clearly, this approach creates a hostile workplace environment for female employees.
