[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a good rule of thumb:  If you're thinking about doing something to a woman, ask yourself -- how might a guy friend react if I did that to him?

In other words, before you leer at Joanne and tell her you like her blouse, ask yourself how Joe would react if you did that to him.  Before you send Joanne a 'toy' and a note about how you'd like to use it, ask yourself how Joe would respond if you did that to him.  Before you lock joanne in your office and force yourself on her . .. . You get that picture.

We're just like your guy friends only prettier.[/quote]

[b]Another good rule of thumb is: would you say or do that to someone who had the power to fire you?

Men figure out how to negotiate consent in all other areas of their lives.  This is not rocket science[/b].  Instead of thinking how close you can get to the line without getting in trouble, start thinking about the women you work with as actual human beings.  [/quote]

Yup.  I had the same thought.  This cluelessness is bull crap.  Woman have always had to consider how things might be perceived and to be conscious of the situation but now that the expectation is for guys to do the same with women it’s PC run amok, what has the world come to that unwanted advances in the work place are considered unprofessional.  Yet, the successful guys have always had that social awareness of appropriate when it comes to another guy in higher power.[/quote]
