you'd love my mom, she's convinced if the co-workers don't think the guy's a creep to "let the bitch sue".

she's bullshit her generation really did take a lot of shit(hbs the first class women were admitted, spent the 80's trying to break ceilings) but the generation of bosses doing it are retired and every office today spends more training-time on sensitivity than a bomb-drill at a 50's school EVERYONE knows they're fucked if they do it.

sure, there are going to be some skeezebags who will do it anyhow, but they're obvious and their co-workers are going to sell them out. she's like-"the numbers say girls have been achieving higher than boys for decades, the battle's been fought, this is a waste of time, train them to use macros in excel and understand which files don't leave the office

there are still examples of sexual harassment out there--but are they the norm anymore? probably not. when there are 2 women filing bullshit claims for every one woman filing a LEGITIMATE one it's become a WEAPON/tool of LEVERAGE rather than protecting people.

i make it a point to never say anything as sexual as "you're looking nice today" around the office and my co-workers are usually older than i am or they're a voice i've never met somewhere. the admin. assistants love me, but i only talk to them when they've fucked-up something, so i only show them chico "fist-discipline".

at least you got your job back, you should have threatened to tell your boss you wanted a bonus on june 1 equal to your year-end one for not going over his head about the fact he wrongfully terminated you.
