When do you expect this process to show positive results? Reductio ad absurdum, like, what if you don't overhear me talking about what I want to do to your breasts, is that harassment too? Your being absurd by assuming your experience generalises to the whole population, and that the way you think things should change is the way things should change. I'm willing to bet boob, dick, and bum jokes will be proven more durable than this bout of lunacy.

"When do you expect this process to show positive results?" Given that "Mad Men" is no longer considered standard acceptable workplace behavior, uh, i think it did already? These are not new laws, they started in ~1964 (in the US), and have shown positive results pretty quickly? "Reductio ad absurdum, like, what if you don't overhear me talking about what I want to do to your breasts, is that harassment too?" Yes, actually, but i'm sure you know this. You act as if this is all some horrible form of oppression - sexual harassment law is ... not particularly hard to avoid violating. There are certainly edge cases, but like, it's really not that hard to avoid sexually harassing your coworkers. You'd have a stronger argument about PC and more general "acceptable workplace behavior" or something. "Your being absurd by assuming your experience generalises to the whole population, and that the way you think things should change is the way things should change." Uh, you think that sexual harassment law does not enjoy broad support? Okay? "I'm willing to bet boob, dick, and bum jokes will be proven more durable than this bout of lunacy." In the workplace, so far you have turned out pretty wrong, and this "bout of lunacy" has been going on for well over half a century in the US, and longer elsewhere. So maybe you should reconsider.
