How do you recover from being accused of sexual harassment?
Q. I have a bad habit of staring at people (male, female doesn't matter). I think that someone pressed sexual harassment or harassment charges with HR. Is there any way to recover professionally from this?
Asked by lost_at_sea00 - Wed Jul 9 06:24:32 2008 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments
A. It won't likely go to court. But if it's a frequent habit of yours, you will probably get a warning from your manager that your staring is creating a hostile workplace environment. The fact is, staring *is* considered rude and aggressive behavior by many people. In some cultures, it can even mean that you're looking for a fight and can get you punched out (try moving to a Latino neighborhood, if you don't believe me).

How often do you hear about men dealing with sexual harassment?
Q. I know I was harassed by a girl back in high school. And a year later, she was expelled for sexual harassment, thanks to me. How often do you hear about men dealing with sexual harassment whether they're in school, a public place, etc.? Edit* Me and my mother was close to filing a lawsuit against my old school.

A. Kudos to you. You have my respect, sir. I wish more guys did this. I've always wanted a case like this to go to court so I could hear a man say on the front steps of the courthouse that he did it for men everywhere. I think most men are not offended like women are and thus think of it as flirting and nothing else. Some are too private and don't want it to become "news" and some are just ashamed / embarrassed so it just doesn't get reported. That and the media panders to women so they couldn't care less about men. Hopefully you can be an example for others.

How do men handle sexual harassment in the workplace?
Q. A male co-worker of mine gets visibly uncomfortable when a female member of staff overtly flirts with him. He seems so afraid of her that he never wants to be alone with her. How do men handle situations like this in the workplace? Do you file a sexual harassment report with HR?
Asked by Liza - Thu May 11 21:01:28 2006 - - 14 Answers - 2 Comments
A. Most of the advice on this question shows a lack of common sense and knowledge of a business workplace. The best thing for the guy to do is to be a man and tell the woman nicely that her actions aren't welcome. If that does't work, then the situation could be harassment and he needs to talk with his supervisor or HR. The short term tension resolves a long-term problem of team morale, his long-term discomfort, and may prevent this from happening to someone else. Anyone who has worked in business long enough has seen one person destroy the whole morale of the office, that's what this woman is doing, and he needs to stop it.

A. In general, legal settlements are tax free IF they are for physical illness or injury. Note: emotional distress is NOT considered physical illness. Legal settlements are taxable as ordinary income for compensation for lost wages or profits interest on such punitive damages pensions (if you didn't contribute) Age discrimination or breach of contract, patient, or copyright infringement. Since your settlement falls into one or more of the above, it IS taxable.

A. 653m of the California Penal Code. Any person who makes annoying and/or threatening phone calls is guilty of a misdemeanor. The code section is about annoying or threatening. It does not say how many calls constitute annoying. It is the actions that define the crime. Most likely three or more calls would fit within the code section. If the calls are recorded or left on an answering machine, that would be excellent evidence in a court of law. There is a separate code section for terrorist threat that is a felony. The line between threatening phone call and terrorist threat can be very fine. X-spouses who have a predatory nature or history are often prosecuted for this felony. A felony conviction can put the caller in state prison… [cont.]

It is not like you make unwelcome sexual advances to another student, which is the basic interpretation of sexual harrassment. Have your Mom meet with the school principal and have the reason you were suspended for 3 days changed to something else or expunged entirely. If the principal refuses, you Mom could contact the ACLU and file a complaint.

A. One of the most common (and frustrating) attitudes I find is that (heterosexual) sex is somehow owned by women and borrowed by men, rather than something two people do together, e.g. the expression "put out" -- I've never heard that phrase applied to a man. This attitude, especially in concert with the tendency of some men to take a woman's consent and/or interest for granted, seems likely to be among the more damaging ones. And, of course, widespread media objectification of women seems like it would lead a lot of people to forget that women don't exist to fulfill other people's sexual desires.

Q. What kinds of attitudes about women, men, and sexuality are most conducive to sexual harassment? How does the issue of sexual harassment relate to other aspects of violence against women, such as rape?

Is it sexual harassment if something is said outside the work place?
Q. This woman was fired two days ago and is now claiming I harassed her 6 months earlier. This was not at work, it was in her car. Every time I drove home with her, she would start talking about sex with her husband, when I talked about my wife and I, she claims to have it on tape and is now going to sue me for sexual harassment. Is this fair? She is the one who started all the sexual conversations. She was finally let go because she missed over 200 hours of work in 11 months. Could I also get her for blackmail? She has been to 2 harassment seminars while working here, and she could have spoke up at any time. She never did until she was fired. Please help me.

A. You are fine. She can't claim harassment if she started the conversation. If anything you could counter file against her and said you just talked to avoid an even more uncomfortable situation. Her taped conversations of you are also inadmissible unless she can prove you were being taped or she had your consent. It probably won't hurt her that she waited this long to file (she can come up with some excuse like trauma or anguish) but it won't help her either. It will hurt her that she only decided to do this after she got fired. Her work ethic isn't going to help her either.
