I don't what what she was really doing, but from her blog post, it didn't seem like she was "hit on by colleagues". In general, while I think it would be beneficial for companies to employ only asexual (and otherwise perfectly rational) people, realistically employees are going to fall in love, and there's nothing wrong with that. So if she had been politely propositioned by a coworker to go on a date, in a way that would allow both of them to save face (usually, this is done by making the request ambiguous, "I only meant as friends"), then I'd agree that reporting that to HR would be unnecessary and inappropriate. But I don't think that her boss essentially emailing her "I can't get all the sex that I want" on her first day of work quite falls under the above scenario. While there's nothing wrong with no-strings-attached sex between fully-informed partners, I do think that employees should avoid that - you can't really help falling in love with someone, but please "keep it in your pants" (and the equivalent for women) at your workplace. In addition, if there's something wrong and you need to be mindful of your "political power" before reporting it, then there's much more wrong.
