I think to seek to pursue "sexual harassment" through rooting out every case where someone might possibly have been rewarded in some way in connection with a relationship is going very far afield, and tips way too far in the direction of the sex police. If one can make a case of a hostile work environment, perhaps, because that is the only way, or virtually only way of getting ahead. Ok. But it should be extreme. Otherwise, lets keep in mind that people are rewarded for friendships in the workplace all the time.

Also we start moving very far in the direction of thinking most women are whores, which I think is most offensive, and certainly wrong.

I'm aware that some extreme feminists, such as Gloria Alred (sp), disagree. I don't think most who support women's rights and true equality do disagree.

Otherwise, what sort of harassment are we talking about. And you start moving a lot closer to prohibiting all dating among co-workers, since everything becomes litigable. Not just rotten treatment.
