Women and Men should work separately in professional settings

Today's society is focused on providing equal opportunities for both genders, And a working environment where both genders can contribute equally, And compete with each other on fair terms. However, I would like to challenge this paradigm, And I raise the question: Is competition and cooperation between the genders in professional settings productive, Or should they perhaps work separately? Point 1: Sexuality There is a sexual element between women and men, Which is detrimental to productivity in a working environment. It's not difficult to see that sexual attraction between the genders can cause tension. The attraction between the genders can be detrimental to task oriented focus, And is always the underlying cause for sexual harassment. It's not possible to switch off the sexuality while at work, Which means that sexual attraction is always present in working environments where both genders are present. One of the main arguments against this, Is that mature adults should be able to control their sexual desires. But this is not primarily a question about control of sexual desires, But a question if sexual attraction in general hinders productivity. My opinion is that any sexual attraction, No matter if it's controlled or not, Hinders productivity by simply being existent. This is because sex and competition are fundamentally different, And can't coexist harmoniously. And since most working environments require competition of some sort, This becomes and obvious issue. For instance, In Mao's China, This problem was solved by having women and men wear the same clothes, And prohibiting make-up for women. Essentially, There was an attempt to transform women and men into sexually neutral humans. This is evidence that the underlying sexual element is a real issue. Point 2: Hierarchies Men organize hierarchies among each other. These hierarchies are created according to competitions. Men are on average more competitive than women. Men more often engage in what we call power struggles. These power struggles in modern society do not reference to physical fights usually, But confidence testing. Men are prone to challenge each other, And these challenges determine a mans position in the hierarchy. This is possible because of the absence of sexual attraction between heterosexual men. Since sexual attraction hinders effective competition, It means that men and women can't engage in such power struggles. This therefore means that women do not have a place in male hierarchies, Which are based on exactly these types of power struggles. Because women are absent from such hierarchies, It means that their presence requires a different social order. Either men have to adapt to women, Or women have to adapt to men. However, This is unproductive. None of the genders can effectively adopt the opposite genders style of competition and communication. The reason is that men and women are inherently different. Although it't possible, It doesn't mean that it's effective. And since this debate is about whether women and men can effectively compete, This is a reason why they should work separately to enhance productivity. I want my opponent to be serious, And as objective as possible. The goal of this debate is to discuss the issue at hand in a civilized and serious manner.
