This isnt about sexual hangups. It's about respect for others in the workplace and similar venues. Most HNers are to young to know what it was like for a woman a few decades back where propositions, sex for promotions, and the like were common. Talk to some women in their 50's about what it was like when they first entered the workforce. It seems alien to us technical types, because we are pretty respectful of others, at least in person. The outrage is there because an awful lot of us dont want any backsliding, not because we are prudes.
