First, let me wish you my sincere empathy for the horrible experience you went through. Second, I want to thank you profusely for the valuable perspective and insights. A breath of fresh air and plain old logic indeed. What is often lost in these dialogues, especially of the PC kind, is our innate biology and the complexity of the inter-play between men and women. I abhor anyone taking advantage of another. I myself was subjected to psychological torment by my first boss of a non-sexual kind (Both of us white males). The guy was a psychopath and mentally screwed with all the powerless people who worked for him. No wonder he was a drunk and on his third marriage. Power plays occur throughout corporate life. That having been said, as it relates to the workplace and sexual matters, specific individuals of both genders (I only know of two biologically derived) know how to work the system, of quid pro quo well, whether for protection from being fired, more money, promotion, etc. It's so complicated. Regrettably I have known male friends in the "lives ruined department" because they were blocking the way for promotion or longer duration in the company for good reason. Thanks again.
