This article oversimplifies the problem. It is also naive. Talking about sex tends to be inherently titillating and an intimate bonding process. Even if you are extremely comfortable with the topic, it is unwise and counterproductive to make it too normal to talk about sex with coworkers, even if the stated goal is to shut down predators. What we really need to be talking about is how to create an intentionally platonic coed work environment. We need to be actively looking to create a norm where any such transgressions stand out and are easy to weed out. We need to eliminate a lot of grey areas and create clarity around the idea that most work relationships are strictly platonic. We need to stop saying that a meeting behind closed doors is private and start saying that such privacy is simply inappropriate to a working relationship.
