A workplace where people only want to work instead of being comfortable enough to make new connections (of any kind) is a bad workplace. You should be able to make new friends, increase your network, and have a good time collaborating. I feel sorry for anyone who is in such an environment, especially when they are being approached constantly in bad ways on top of it (let alone harassed). So many things have gone wrong then. The workplace is still a workplace, not a dating machine, so people need to adjust their behaviors to the environment. Most people can manage to do this.

Presently, women can expect mistreatment in their workspace. This has an unbroken reality for generations.
While women are living with that reality, this very minute, it's not clear that workplace friendships are in any meaningful danger.
