” There is absolutely nothing libertarian about sexual harassment laws.”

I don’t agree with this. So, let’s suppose we go back to no laws at all. I can remember back to office work where the secretarial pool was basically a “stable” for the male salespeople. The women who didn’t play along were laid...off! So, you might say, “You’re free to leave if you don’t like it”. To where, when that was true everywhere? That doesn’t seem very libertarian.

We’ll have to agree to disagree. The status quo ante was preferable, imho, to handing Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton and Chuck Schumer another lever to harass the productive with.

Businesses that allow employees to treat other employees in ways that do not advance the business goals of the company are punished in the marketplace.

Lots of women lead successful careers in business before anyone heard of Betty Freidan. Advances in technology and changes in fertility and abortion made the option available to ever more women. Most young people are surprised to find out that world doesn’t prize them as highly as they believe they should be. When these young people are women (or blacks or gays), it is easy to attribute their difficulties to a conspiracy that exists only in their own minds. That men like to pursue women should come as no surprise to anyone who was not raised in convent.
