"Making advances" is a pretty sugar-coated way to refer to someone who's had many reported cases of sexually harassing people who he had funding control over.

- notadoc 9y ago"Advances" is the wording used in the authors own medium post, do you have a suggestion on how they should have phrased it? Do you know anyone, female or male, who have been hit on, flirted with, or sexually harassed at work by colleagues, bosses, etc? I do, I suspect it is more common than people realize.
- gdilla 9y agoYou still don't get it. It was unWANTED and inappropriate advances given the professional relationship and setting. It's not like asking someone out at a bar, ffs.
- notadoc 9y agoOK if I "don't get it" then can you explain how what you said here: > "It was unWANTED and inappropriate advances given the professional relationship and setting." is different from what I said here: "anyone, female or male, who have been hit on, flirted with, or sexually harassed at work by colleagues, bosses, etc"
- neuronexmachina 9y agoWhat you described is much more general.
