Weird. A lot of OU fans on here and not one with the attitude you describe.Pretty much every OU football fan. Been that way at least the 70’s.

It's not Millennials. This went on in the mid 80's to early 90's in my work place. Conoco Oil Company at the time. Just complimenting a woman on her appearance was ground for dismissal. You could tell a guy, nice suit, great tie, and when did you change your hairstyle, I like it was acceptable.It’s one of those Millennial things like a need for a place where they can ‘feel’ safe.

Say the same to a female, and your job just went out the door. You were gawking at her and making her uncomfortable.
I will say I have seen blatant and unwarranted sexual discrimination in the workplace that had no business happening, and in one case helped get the perv fired.
Well, he didn't really get fired, he was allowed to stay on, but work from home. Software developer.
Another example, in another business I work at later, Smith Tool, there was a young lady that worked in the tool crib issuing items needed in a machine shop. She always wore very tight low cut tops, and always leaned over the counter for all to see the girls.
When some made comments, (which she recorded some), a really good settlement came her way, and she got a lifetime job in a satellite company where she didn't have to show up for work.
There is a WHOLE lot of wrong things in the workplace regarding sexual harassment that need to be resolved, but there is also a lot of abuse by potential "accusers" looking to gain.
During my management career, I was required to undergo yearly ongoing education on corporate compliance, ethics, labor law and sexual harassment etc. After a brutal, threatening course on sexual harassment, I asked some of the Nursing Managers just what a man could say or ask a woman? The group started laughing after one of them said, “Well, it depends on who you are!”
