Ha ha, Ignacio!! I bet your workmates would say you are aloof!!! I must tell you, though, that women actually consider this behavior a challenge, and you may be getting more attention because of it. Well, anyway, the only thing I am arguing over is someone in a position of power using subordinates in any kind of sexual manner, or allowing themselves to be used by subordinates. I cannot quite figure out how you cut your hand, and I am dying of curiosity, but will refrain from interrogating you about it. It goes without saying, of course, that many students willingly use sex in the hope of getting better grades. Incidentally, I agree with you that companies, and universities, should set policy for sexual conduct in the workplace. However, at least in America, companies are usually responding to lawsuits when they do this. Companies very rarely act like idealists!! Certainly, U.S. laws against sexual harassment in the workplace have led to many educational seminars for employees, and also to many executives being moved aside or counselled when they went outside appropriate behavior.
