Men: beware of the sex pests!!

Most men are sexually harassed by women at work  -  but are afraid to complain to their employer, say researchers.

Four out of five male workers had experienced such harassment from a female colleague, according to a study for employment law firm Peninsula.

Two-thirds of the 2,300 men questioned also said that sexual banter was inappropriate at work.

A separate poll of 1,600 employers admitted they would not take a complaint of sexual harassment as seriously from a male employee.

David Price of Peninsula said: 'The balance has shifted and it is now women who are aiming sexual banter at male workers.

'Many workers are under the opinion that sexual banter is an acceptable norm in the workplace.

'But not everyone is happy with these types of jokes and the situation is a growing problem for employers.'

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

yeah, I'm thinking that the reluctance to report it is because men don't mind. :-)

They are implying that 2/3 of the male workforce is gay then.
It never bothers me.

It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.
