I don't think there is an objective test. It is kind of one of those "i can't define it but i know it when i see it' type of situations. Everyone's tolerance is different for what they feel comfortable with. A male coworker and i were friends and our relationship and inside jokes were much different than with me and another male coworker. You really need to know your audience and be respectful. I think keeping in mind, if my mom were here would i have this same conversation/interaction with her is a good starting point. Not perfect, but somewhere to start for those who can't seem to understand what basic respectful human interaction looks like. [/quote]

The problem is that there aren't black and white lines and never have been. And how is it reasonable to just say that you should "just know your audience." Again, this is women expecting men to read their minds.

It actually would be better if there were black and white lines, because as you can see from the thread, there is no consensus.
