[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3057809, member: 9374"] I will say, though, that I have heard many many stories over the years all over the world, US and internationally, about men in my position who do exactly that to women they work with. Pinching, touching, rubbing up against, etc. Like leaving Betadine handprints on nurses' bottoms, etc. Just total douchebaggery. So I know it's out there, I know it happens a lot. Probably a lot less than in years past, but definitely not gone. But there are plenty of women who play the banter right back, too. It can be difficult to know where to draw the line, for sure. Another reason I excuse myself when the more ribald topics come up... it's just better to avoid being involved. In addition, from my point of view, establishing a bit of a buffer zone routinely for those things, I would hope my coworkers would step up and defend me should I be the target of one of those unscrupulous characters in the future who might falsely accuse me. As a man in the workplace, I have always worried about this kind of thing, and even moreso now, with the turn things have taken in the media and society. [/QUOTE]
