        The way it is going, pretty soon even a simple hello or a friendly smile will be construed as sexual harassment. Do people making such ridiculous claims realise how much they are hurting the people who suffered real sexual harassment, including rape?

        I agree wholeheartedly with you. When I was working giving a colleague a “Well Done” hug, male or female, or a pat on the back made for a happy workplace . And nobody thought it was any kind of sexual harassment. PS. Lots of respect for each other too.

        Men. Women in the workplace are not your friends even if you think they are. Have as little to do with them as possible. Every one of them can get you sacked on a whim. Tell your brothers, sons and friends this. Women have become toxic.

        I had a female coworker give me a high five and I felt digitally violated. The horror.

        Put a Me Too accusation out there , regardless if true or not and that's the end of a male getting s fair hearing on any level . Seems its a preferred line of attack against any male in a position of power .

        I'm now flat out trying to remember if there were any women from 20+ years ago that I touched, once this crap becomes the norm far left feminists will seek revenge

        Crickey? What is going on Girls?? is this overkill? Speak up when it happens, lightheartedly - To start with. If it escalates further nip it in the bud. Otherwise report it to Authority.

        Sensible article from Caroline. Regarding Milne & Guthrie,I have not been able to distinguish their behaviour from that of school children fighting while playing marbles. One difference is that the ABC Board deemed it appropriate to pay them a massive amount of money for all this

        Over reacting to say the least . She needs to get a life and get off the bandwagon. Touching someone on the back is not sexual harassment.

        She ain’t no babe. I don’t believe her. It’s reeks of clutching at straws.

        She’s clutching at straws. I felt she was disingenuous in her allegation on the delicate matter.
