I don&#x27;t know if what he was doing was 100% harassment or not but that word makes it at least hard to argue its not.<p>The sad reality is that if a man makes advances towards a woman at work and she isn&#x27;t interested, it is very possible he will end up being terminated for &#x27;sexual harassment&#x27; regardless of what words he uses.  Because sexual harassment effectively really boils down to any unwanted advance or even flirtation.  It shouldn&#x27;t be that way, it should be about actual harassment, but very few people are able to make such a distinction in a fair way.<p>So I don&#x27;t think that in the current environment any sort of flirtation at work is really a safe maneuver unless the woman makes obvious advances first.<p>I have a feeling people will slam me and this comment but I haven&#x27;t been downvoted very much this week so I guess it is time.
