    But, either way, the women don't face the sack for doing it.

    Not sure what you mean by "sack". Maybe I'm reading it wrong.

    I guess I've been on both sides of the fence. I've known some pretty mean and bitter women, and I've known some pretty shovenist guys.

    It's a good thing I love everybody!

      Sorry. "Sacked" means "fired". In my experience sexism only seems to go one way. It is a terrible and henious offence for a man to be sexist but, when a woman does it, well, its just a bit of a laugh..........

        I imagine men are far less likely to complain about sexual harrassment because it would be humilating. I'm sure it happens, but I'm not sure what the ratio is between men who harass and women who harass.

        I believe society isn't really used to the idea of a woman doing those things. I mean, there was that hot teacher who recently got busted for sleeping with one of her students. It's really baffling, but if a man got busted it would seem to make more sense.

        In school I remember girls getting charged with sexual harrassment from other girls. Not because the girls were coming onto them but because they were making mean comments of a sexual nature.

          Whether men are more prone to sexually harass is irrelevant as far as the question of punishment goes. If a man does the same thing as a woman shouldn't the punishment be the same. It would be reasonable to look at men with slightly more suspicion but to give us a greater punishment is idiocy.
          What I meant was that men are less apt to report sexual harrassment. If it's not reported, nothing is going to be done about it. Obviously the punishment should be equal.

          The other thing is that in our culture men are expected to come onto women or start the relationship and a lot of times guys get confused with all the signals women are sending them.
          I'll agree with that. Sometimes signals aren't signals at all.

          I doubt the thunderthighs and nose comments would qualify as sexual harassment. But comments regarding sex and breasts would be. The ones I recall were threats of rape or sodomy.

          ...Don't piss women off, they'll mess you up.

            I find this conversation interesting maybe not the right Forum but it is very interesting and funny. So does anyone ever get around to talking about self-defence around hear.
