I just don't think a woman should be able to sue because a man says gross stuff or makes gross gestures. Especially if she doesn't make it clear that she never wants to hear his trash again. I don't believe in the right to work concept. I think an employer should be able to fire you for any reason and that's the breaks. If a guy says "if I don't get to say crude stuff to you then you are fired," then you should quit. What if the guy is just mean and says mean and rude things? Should you be able to sue for "emotional abuse?" If I didn't like a work atmosphere, I'd quit.

I am so pleased to meet an oracle, I can't tell you!

I was a young woman with little education who through hard work and perseverance had managed to land a middle management job. I was making very good money and had a small child to support.

It's a bit hard to tell your boss "F U" and quit under those circumstances. It wasn't like people were breaking down my door to hire me.
