Excellent post, Yogi. Thank you for bringing it here.

Your point about Neocon's (deliberate, to support his little anal persnickety BS agenda -g-) 'naivete' is apt.

I believe that 'the non-bandwagoners' including the source of 'the problem' know very well the effect of forcing unwanted 'attention' on the female 'objects' of their rage.

I, too, received 'unwanted attention' in the workforce by a couple of really f*ked up peers in management.

The VP to whom I reported understood my unease, but suggested that I 'put it aside' to be a 'team player.'

What it took to end the harassment were two point-blank verbal assaults in the presence of his male peers in the middle of our office space, overheard by 20 other employees and superiors.

That shut him up.

LOL.

Twas great.

Before, however, I had to take 'the matter' into my own hands -- risking my job, not knowing what the superior's reactions might be as I had been 'cautioned' to behave as a 'team player' -- I was very disturbed. Because I felt trapped.

So, yes, I, too have had personal 3D experience with the 'phenomenon.'

It's always a power play. You know that, I'm sure.
