This new man that I was complaining about...

Calls me "Dear" and pats me on the arm.

Ask me how much I want to smack him!!!

End of rant. :)

"dear" is a long way from sexual harassment.

Sorry, "Dear" is indeed sexual harassment if the woman takes it the wrong way.

You know, it can suck because women have gotten men fired just because they didn't like them. Really, at most places, all a woman has to do is say, "he calls me dear in a very patronizing way," even if the guy is totally not doing it to be rude.

It can be unfair. No one is saying it isn't.

But that, at least in Texas, is the law. MOST women won't do that to someone. Most are like J and very wary about crying wolf when they're not sure.

"Dear" and "hun" and "darling" are still sexual harassment.
