Statistics, we have a problem
I am not an academic and not in this field.  I have dealt with harrassment issues in business though.  I hear do much nonsense about &#x27;grey areas&#x27; and &#x27;men and women would never meet if we followed HR&#x27;.<p>I hereby advance my theory that it is rather simpler than that.  &#x27;If you are in a position of power over the other party, then you should keep some social distance&#x27;.<p>Don&#x27;t smack their bum, don&#x27;t message them about their holiday photos on FB. If they come to you tired and emotional, sit them down on the other side of your desk and ask them what is wrong.  Tell them you are sorry they feel that way. Talk for hours if you need to...at work.  Keep your trousers zipped up.<p>Is it that hard? If your team socialize, then by all means go with them. If you find there is only two of you left, then go home.<p>I think it is very easy for a decent human being to avoid.
