JamesH, I suggest you try out a few comments you might like to ask some women at work, and see if your male workmates think you should or shouldn't go ahead with it. Most guys are brought up well enough by their parents to know what is acceptable behaviour at work?

I don't know about the men you know James, but the men I associate with at work have never been accused of sexual harassment by any of the women, and vice versa.
In fact, I don't know anyone who has been accused and convicted of sexual harassment.
Does anyone else here?

Benk <"Since men are expected to speak out against sexual harassment, I hope that you wouldn't mind speaking out against malicious treatment of blokes who have done nothing wrong."

Of course I would Benk. I would stand up for anyone who was wrongfully accused of something they didn't do. I have never been involved in that scenario yet, and hope I never am!

Suxanonline,
"I don't know anyone who has been accused and convicted of sexual harassment."

I have known several men who were accused of sexual harrasment by women at work. None were found guilty.

One woman complained to the manager of a company when a man called her "love". The man called every woman love, and after that few men in the company would work with the woman.

Another woman compained to the head of a department that a male worker had asked her to have a drink after work. She was put on another shift, but no male would work with her.

I have also been in factories where few men would go to the laboratory or office, which were mainly staffed by women, as they could be accused of sexual harassment.

ETC.

Gee Vanna, it sounds like the women at your' workplace were bullied?
I have no doubt there are women and men out there who over-react to comments made to them by work-mates, but the act of everyone else then ostracizing them is workplace bullying.

The same people who don't understand bullying when they see it, are often the same ones who don't know or care about sexual harassment.

You people just fight cause you need the brake from the norm. Trust me....its understood.

Men come onto woman and the female as in our species.....is the only one that makes the mating rights exclusivity female as she can and will make fault with what she picks.

Who makes up this stuff?

Religion makes man/woman out of animal....Right. Now this is out of whack, because the instinctive norm/naturals have been thrown out of, and all we have is a two way understanding.

It really is hard being human.....but not.

Evolution + what we see...........can only be the answer.

Thank-you

As James points out, it is women who get to determine what is acceptable behaviour in men. Fair enough, as long as men get to decide what is acceptable behaviour in women. It's only reasonable.

What do you say girls?

Suzieonline, "Most guys are brought up well enough by their parents to know what is acceptable behaviour at work?"

Exactly my point,the oppressor, because of the indefinable power and privilege gets educated about what the disadvantaged and oppressed decides is acceptable behaviour, that the oppressor must display.
