Sexual remarks at work

Well after reading this thread its quite obvious that if a woman makes an inappropriate comment then its just "Banter" or a Laugh to lighten the mood. If a man makes any reference to anything sexual regardless of context or entendre then its harassment or he is some sort of workplace sexual predator. W

I work in a place where one of the girls often has her underwear showing (She often wears a thong or g-string and often very high) One of my colleagues asked me the other day, genuinely concerned that she didn't know that her underwear was showing, if he should tell her. One of the managers overheard this and pulled him into the office and told him not to refer to anything like that and mind his own business as ANY remark towards a female colleague could be construed as sexual harassment. Then the day after, in the works kitchen, she remarked "Nice Calvins" to one of the other workers while he was bending over into the fridge to get the milk.

Double standards....Welcome to the world we live in.. :(

True. Its all equal rights and that when it suits the girls, but when 4 tons of coal turns up at work and it needs to be handballed off, I don't see any of the girls doing it lol.

I'm just confused as to why men can't make such remarks in the work place but women can. If they can throw the banter, why can't they take it?

Because:

1. Men can take a joke.

2. Women can't.

3. The only thing women CAN take is... and even then not all of them can take it.

Should there be a next time try come up with something for the other foot, see how the person reacts. If they moan and cry then they've no basis to complain as they were the ones who initiated the "banter". Depending on my mood, this is genuinely what I'd do (mainly because I can actually take a ******* joke).

I don't think its a case of not being offended enough, more that equality in a woman's mind isn't as equal.

yeah i was kind of making a point to that effect.
all this equality business, some women need a slap for the things they do, especially if they think they can attack someone without reprocussions lol.

some of those feminists have good intentions to begin with but just go PMT .. I mean PMT on it all
 
Best thing about working in an office is a good ol' bit of flirting. Women are terrible for it, far worse than men.

Some of the comments i've heard when under the desk sorting some cabling would be instant dismissal.

Office affairs are a regular occurance.
 
I'f you don't find her attractive I can see how it can feel awkward but when I've been in the same situation I've just ignored her and forgot about it after..

But I wasn't in the situation of getting them fired but don't think I'd be hurtful enough to want them to lose their job over it..
