I couldn't agree more. However, I think the litigious culture, juries and civil suits are more to worry about with regard to sexual harrassment issues than the letter of the law.

All workplace sex now becomes "harassment" because of the implied quid pro quo.

Looney Tunes.
Fixed it for you...

I don't make this up, I just report it.

And there is a reason that it's like this here. Its because companies can be sued for $millions because of this. Where there is money, there are lawyers lining up to take it.

You have to doctor these,
At least we can waste his time by letting him think that he is "something special" while he posts things like this. Maybe someday he will be able to get into a program that will really help him.

Maybe they choose to eschew courtroom frivolity in favor of bedroom frivolity?

Remember when the woman filed a complaint because a couple of guys were talking about a Seinfeld episode????? That is just how crazy it works here. You can't even be to friendly (even if it has nothing sexual intended) as the woman only has to say that she felt like it was harassing. And yes, there are many women who falsely used this to get ahead & get males out of the way...

HAHAHA! I don't need any help at all - you guys are great therapy. Laughter is the best medicine and I can always count on getting healthy doses of it here! You implacable, angry right-wingers...HAHAHA!

Indeed it is!

And the double standard!

I can't count the number of times that I was sexually harassed by women in the workplace and I had no recourse in our judicial system......well, actually, I can.
