Your first problem is assuming it was a hypothetical situation. Your second problem is projecting that because it hasn&#x27;t <i>happened to you</i> it <i>hasn&#x27;t happened ever</i> or that it is <i>normal behavior</i>. Then finally, you decide to tell me to grow thicker skin.<p>You argued against all of the above on the other side of the coin. But the moment its an issue that doesn&#x27;t affect you, you&#x27;re quick to resort to the arguments you&#x27;re advocating against?<p>That &quot;PC Minefield&quot; is <i>avoiding</i> that &quot;someone, somewhere will think I&#x27;m a sexist&quot;. Which is the problem you admit to existing but don&#x27;t care about. You&#x27;ll care when <i>you&#x27;re</i> the one being seen as a sexist with a Twitter hate-mob at your employers&#x27; heel demanding you be fired for an offhand comment or action that wasn&#x27;t even sexist unless twisted and taken out of context.<p>It&#x27;s not about &quot;growing thicker skin&quot; it&#x27;s about avoiding HR. If I don&#x27;t speak to them or deal with them, there can be no case for harassment. I consider it job security.
