With such heated discussion on the topic of sexual harassment, I asked two of the top experts, Barry Halote, Ph.D., and Allan Gerson, Ph.D., to weigh in on the issue.

The issue of sexual harassment is fraught with ambiguity. It's emotionally loaded because it is so personal and intense - involving both sex and power.

When lawyers speculate about wrongdoing, as in the Letterman case, and advance claims without factual basis, I wince for all of us who view the practice of law as an honorable and worthy profession.

What is all the fuss about David Letterman having fessed up to some creepy sexual relations? He went to the authorities and then publicly acknowledged his misconduct and apologized.
Judge H. Lee Sarokin | Posted 10.07.2009 | Media
Even if sexual harassment (as opposed to conduct) should become relevant, in my opinion, the public statements of the defendant's lawyer were aimed at threatening the victim rather than vindicating his client.

Let's not just turn a blind eye to this situation simply because we appreciate David Letterman's humor and want to continue to be entertained by him. This isn't simply a case of philandering.

While we wait for more facts, it is still curious how powerful men who fall from grace morph themselves into pathetic and sympathetic creatures.

South Africa has a crisis of values in which men are brought up to believe they are entitled to treat women as objects to abuse, hurt, exploit, rape, harass, control and patronize.

Many women have become accustomed to unwarranted gender-based street harassment.

The professor apparently called the student a "fascist bastard" in front of the class for having supported Prop. 8 and refused to let the student finish the presentation.

Two federal employees have been in the news recently for criminal conduct. One is a federal judge, the other an IRS employee. Both did what they did because they thought they could get away with it.

Most of my professional experience involving sexual predation involves undercover stings where some pervert starts up a conversation with a willing "teenager" who turns out to be an undercover cop or agent.

Less than four hours after my post was published here yesterday, Chili's reinstated my sister as a full-time employee, apologized for the confusion and emphasized how seriously the corporation takes sexual harassment.
Rebekah Spicuglia | Posted 01.23.2009 | Business
My sister's manager at Chili's asked her if the offending employee had gotten a "full cup" when he had grabbed her breasts. Unfortunately, under Georgia law, you can suffer sexual harassment and still be fired.

The government does not even recognize officially that lesbian or bisexual women and transgender people exist. There is no place for us in a conservative, patriarchal value system.
