Well actually, yeah it is different. Perhaps not in theory, but in actual practice. Think of the composition of the sexual harrassment lawsuits - what is the proportion of women suing men for inappropriate behavior and vice versa? Exactly. For every one case of a man suing a woman, it's gotta be like 10 or a 100 or a 1000 cases of the other way around. So, from a proportional standpoint, which is the bigger problem?
It gets down to the fact that men and women are simply different, and there are different expectations set upon men and women. I know that feminists would like for you to believe that it isn't so, but we all know that it is. For example, it is simply the case that society dictates that men should want sex, but women should not. What I mean by that is that a man who is known to have lots of sexual partners will meet with much less condemnation from society than a woman who has lots of sexual partners ( in fact, that man might even be greeted with admiration). I'm not saying that "American Pie 2" was a great cinematic triumph, but this aspect of society was vividly illustrated in the Rule of Three (anybody who saw the movie will know what I'm talking about). There are many consequences to this, but one of them is that it is simply more likely that a man will behave in a more sexually inappropriate way in the workplace than a women would, simply because a woman already has to "limit" her sex-drive because of the overarching rule of society. Is this right, is this fair? No, probably not. But that's the way it is. So rather than discuss theoretical problems, I choose to discuss actual known problems that are commonplace and that I have actually seen happen with my own eyes. Yes in theory a woman might be able to offend a man, but you gotta admit that's pretty rare. wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > "On the other hand, who's more likely to show up to work late?
