I appreciate the comment & I think it's fair re: my adoration. I'll write a better post on this, but here is my initial reaction: I think <b>common sense</b> should be used in all situations, including cases of sexual harassment. I would never want to work in an environment of oppression or hostility; however, I don't want to work in an environment of hypersensitivity, either. I have experienced a continuum of sexual harassment. I believe that there's harassment & then there is harassment. I have a 1x rule: if a man is bold enough to ask me for sexual encounter at the office (which has happened), he should be <b>man enough</b> to take my fierce and direct rejection. If it happens again, I escalate. I've also been asked to go on a date, and I've politely declined. I've had open debates with fellow HR colleagues that the initial proposition itself is harassment. I disagree. At the end of the day, common sense applies in the work environment. Unfortunately, most people don't possess enough common sense in the workforce. What do you think? Thanks, Don’t.

I like much of your work, but not your brazen adoration. I think people mistake Penelope Trunk's contrarianism for candor. So often, she is just off the mark, not to mention rude. Since you were in HR, could you speak a little more as to why you think her position on not reporting sexual harassment is admirable? Sorry. I like much of your work, but not your brazen adoration.
