I expect that most men and male teenagers have been victims of sexual harassment at work, but the whole issue is whether a man should admit to being harassed.

For me it was always sexual harassment from coworkers. I have never had a female boss and don't ever want one. I can remember five situations where I was a victim of sexual harassment (more than incident each) (Four involved women and one was a man). It was almost all in my teens and early twenties.

Young guys don't know what to do, except to keep quiet. Would you suffer an old gay guy frisking you regularly so that you can avoid the embarrassment of admitting that you are not able to fend off his advances? It is amazing that the answer for many young guys is "Yes"!!!

I am think that Phil Cook probably wants a story about boss/subordinate. I might write to him. It would help if he would spell out what type of sexual harassment he is interested in. There are many varieties (I know).
