Long ago I worked with a female Navy Chief Petty Officer who once told me -
"I don't mind sexual harassment, it's that harassment without the sex that ticks me off."
That CPO would likely be fired in today's "touchy-feely" PC Navy (or negative comments may certainly be inserted in her official record). I worked with a few female Navy Chiefs... to be honest I'm not sure which one said this to me, but I do recall the remark was made just after we attended a 3-hour mandatory sexual harassment lecture. I got a huge laugh hearing that comment.
Actually was told this in a lecture like first graders might be regarding work-related touching. There are "green zones" good and OK touching, "yellow-zones" questionable and uncomfortable touching, and then to "red-zones" contacts -- I guess a slap on the ass, making the Grab, etc. touches that are obviously worthy of formal charges.
It's so stupid... anyone with a brain should know what inappropriate touches are... and if this conduct is found the offender should be gone (fired) by sunset. I remember the sexual harassment lecture was delivered by a female Navy Commander (a lawyer) who flew in from Washington D.C. just to deliver a nasty conduct lecture. Timing was just after the infamous Las Vegas hotel "Tail Hook" incident(s) involving naval flying personnel following Gulf War I (1991). Guess those Naval Airedales watched too many older Hollywood military movies and attempted multiple duplication of this now funny, but unacceptable, conduct depicted in these now unseemly movie scenes [?]. But tell me I'm wrong -- most of these old military movies are presently regarded by qualified movie critics as legitimate classical films.
