The New York Times reports that "an unintended consequence of a season of sex scandals" is that certain workplaces have become more tense.
To make it easier for men to ensure they behave appropriately with women in the workplace (and hopefully, everywhere else), one woman has devised a brilliant life hack she calls "The Rock Test."
