HARASS...
From
the old French word HARER, which means "to set the dogs
upon."
|
There
is much talk about
SEXUAL HARASSMENT
in the workplace.
|
AND
THERE SHOULD BE! HARASSMENT IS A TERRIBLE THING.
But
sexual harassment sometimes occurs because women and men
grow up in different cultures. Men are taught to be persistent.
To keep trying. Never to give up.
-
Maybe they can get a homer in the last inning.
- Or
come from behind in the final two minutes.
- Or
sink the winning basket at the buzzer.
Too
often men don't know when persistence is becoming harassment.
So women and men need to learn to communicate, clearly,
about sexual harassment.
We
can help with that communication.
