It's insensitive in that your are making a false balance fallacy by equating his actions with her reaction by saying something like "He acted inappropriately, and she responded inappropriately". She was sexually harrassed, her reaction is pretty minor in this discussion.
- downandout 12y ago>her reaction is pretty minor in this discussion Let me be clear that I believe this guy to be a jackass - not only for making the comment, but then having the nerve to officially complain about the drink. I likely would have terminated him. But by reacting the way she did, she took away any leverage that she had, and that was reflected in the outcome. So, no, her reaction isn't "pretty minor in this discussion". It actually had a huge impact on the negative outcome.

- zo1 12y agoIt's not minor, it's borderline assault. Whether you're offended or not, you don't get the right to go around assaulting people like that. Now, don't get me wrong, the guy was a dick, and it sounds like it was sexual harassment. And it should be dealt with swiftly by HR, but that should be the end of it.
