Seriously? What do you think is more likely to happen if the woman submits?-
1. She gets a promotion she doesn't totally doesn't deserve because she submitted to sexual harassment by her her boss at work. She's happy about this.
2. She submits to sexual harassment because she is afraid she'll lose her job if she doesn't. She feels dirty and exploited.
And this is unfair to men how? Because they don't have to put up with sexual harassment at work as much?
- ars 12y ago> What do you think is more likely to happen I don't know. That's why I asked. Do you know? And there is a 3rd option where she refuses. Jokes/books/movies makes it seems like it happens all the time, but I don't know if it really does.
- jacalata 12y agoThere is not a 3rd option of 'she refuses' for the scenario 'she doesn't refuse'.
- obvious_throw 12y ago#3: She files suit, and wins, because the legal climate surrounding harassment cases is overwhelmingly in her favor and she knows it. I can't take claims of the above seriously in the US, because women are 100% legally protected from professional retribution when declining said "deals". I can't speak to outside the US, but here, the protections are vast and absolute. It's not 1913 anymore, any anybody who claims otherwise needs to wake up to the current legal reality.
