    I deal with these issues all the time in my line of work.

    You have to realize we came from a history where the pendulum was pulled back way in one direction and if you were a minority or woman or whatever during that period (a) you were lucky to even be able to work and/or (b) were harassed mercilessly to the point of having to quit and leave.

    Let's face it, we have a baseball analogy in Jackie Robinson, and if he wasn't such a strong and quality human being and excellent player....with the support of the Dodger organization behind him, who knows how many more years it would have taken to break the color barrier for good.

    Anyway, the laws that were drafted sought to correct some of these issues, but it's hard to change people's opinions, right? So we made the corporations liable for not correcting these issues. They were made the hammer, or else the scapegoat.

    You can call corporations anything you want, but they all hate losing money. And as long as they are on the hook, they will act the way they did to Rube in order to prevent loss of the almighty dollar.

    Corps are not all the same, some don't care that much about it (Toyota, who got nailed, Catholic Health that lost hundreds of millions....yes hundreds of millions, in a harassment suit), others like in Silicon Valley will nail you for a Bugs Bunny in drag poster. But in all cases no corp wants to lose money. That is all its about. Money. They couldn't care less about social justice.

    So every person in the workplace is under the gun to behave. We are all paying for the sins of our past. But that's really what laws are about right? Justice? Hardly. It's about saying "my bad, how about this?" Laws aren't rifles, they are shotguns.

    What I don't like about current laws in this field is that especially in the context of sexual harassment, as a male, you are extremely vulnerable. One wrong joke or statement to the wrong individual, and your career and reputation is at stake. It's never in the other direction. Women almost never are accused of sexual harassment and it never carries the same sting.

    For a man, that stain never goes away. It can affect your marriage or other relationship, your job, your friends, even people you don't know. It's really a shame. People have been ruined by this and although in most cases, then was a jerk, sometimes it's something innocent that gets mangled for some reason other than the real issue.

    JMHO. Until women stop enjoying and exploiting the societal perception of them as victims, they will never be equal.
