I’ve discovered that if you force a cache refresh by pressing CTL + F5, you can usually make the blog display the comments and the posts properly. Let me know if you see the most recent posts when you do that.

All you computer experts or semi-experts out there, do you have any advice for fixing things, based on this new information? I’m still getting professionals to help, but they’re taking longer than I’d like.

Oddly enough, the homosexuals I have known at work have been quite honorable. There have been one or two hints dropped, and, when they were not picked up, nothing more was said. In other, non-work settings, the aggressive come-ons have been much more overt, persistent, and obnoxious, but never at work.

Worse, in a case like this one, I don’t even have to convince the powers that be of anything. I just have to make some sponsors think that I MIGHT be telling the truth, which leads to them withholding sponsorship of the show.

No sponsors = no show, and no show = you lose your job. There is literally NO standard of proof required.

Her notes and email amounted to more than twenty documents; most were both obsessive and salacious. I then showed the documents to my supervisor, who was aghast, but not sure what to do. She made an appointment, for both of us, with someone in HR. After the HR person read the notes and email, she was shocked. She said that she was ready to talk to us about the kind of ordinary disagreements that are common among colleagues, but that the notes and emails were way beyond that. They constituted not only obvious sexual harassment, but also mental illness. Unfortunately, since my colleague seemed to be mentally ill, all that could be done was to advise her that she should seek treatment or counseling. They couldn’t force her to do so, and they definitely couldn’t fire her. I pointed out that I’d be fired in two seconds if I’d done anything even remotely like that. The room got very quiet.

The lunatic was told to get some counseling. Thankfully the sexual harassment stopped, but she continued to send me email that she obviously considered friendly. Again, I asked her to stop. She didn’t. I again went to HR. They said that the recent email didn’t constitute sexual harassment.

I didn’t know what to do, so I talked to a few friends about it. I was looking for advice, but didn’t get anything helpful. At least one of these friends must have told someone else, because I started getting email from people I’d never even heard of. Each of the senders was male. Each of them had a story of being sexually harassed by a female. In every case, the women evaded any consequences for their harassment. In every case, the women accused of harassment made life difficult for the men who complained. Sometimes men’s careers were ruined. I was repeatedly advised to get another job, before the situation blew up in my face. I moved about a thousand miles away, but the lunatic found my address online, and sent me a few emails. Thankfully, she then stopped.

I don’t know what it’s like in the corporate world, but this is what it’s like in universities. Feminism is sacred dogma. Sexual harassment is both doctrine and tool. Women are always believed. Men are always guilty. HR departments are dominated by women.

Needless to say, I think sexual harassment laws need to be reformed, if not repealed.
