What if she is.....I would be rich ($35-50K each) if I had filed against all the men (married and not) who propositioned me when I was single....sheesh....if you want to play “work” with the big boys, you better be able to learn how to handle them....I would either laugh, or just tell them NO. It got so it seemed like they felt it necessary to make a pass.

I agree. Sheesh if I had filed suit against every man who propositioned me.....!!! I had one manager say the dirtiest thing to me and then laugh. I didn’t quit or file suit. I told him he was a dumb. gross, clod and walked off. I didn’t think it was personal and he really was just a dumb, gross, clod. lol

“I would either laugh, or just tell them NO. It got so it seemed like they felt it necessary to make a pass.”

I know, same here. You’re right, in the workplace (particularly those male-dominated fields where I often was), you have to learn how to handle them. I usually took the humor route, making a joke out of it, finding it saved their ego rather than indignant or personal rejection - a valuable tactic that worked well in business.
