"It is sad that so many freepers really believe that women can just make up a complaint and get paid thousands of dollars. It clearly happens -- but it's not the norm."

I worked for a Fortune 1000 Company that paid out on plenty of nuisance suits from those who were 'allegedly' made to feel uncomfortable by male co-workers or superiors.

Sexual harassment became a growth industry in the 90's. Not only did our company make several cash settlements that I knew of, all of our managers and supervisors had to sit through hours of ridiculous training classes put on by dullards sucking at the government trough and getting paid to spew foolish notions designed by government hacks to allow another step of "getting even" for slackers and malcontents.

Females using the ‘come on approach’ have been the tool used to get the ‘out’ stuff on private and public managers for years. Didn’t work one time in my experience.

Again, that’s nice anecdotal evidence. How much were the payouts? How many of them relative to the population of women? Do you know of ANY men who claimed harrassment and got paid off? How do you know the charges were false?

We do annual harrassment training. My guess is most companies do these days, because it is very helpful to beat harrassment suits.
