I think she brought her allegations out in the public just fine. She said she personally experienced this man's behavior, and that it was well beyond what is implied in the excerpt to which she responded.

If that is not good enough for you, don't accept it, or ask her to give more details, but don't go further and insult a long time respected FReeper. The lack of dignity and class you showed there is deplorable.

Frankly, were I a sexually abused woman, I am not sure I would really want to tell the world about the indignities forced upon me.

Possibly because they were lies, or because your behavior had invited them, or....

A very classic case of "sexual harrassment" occurred at my workplace. A female hired because of nepotism, who's favorite word was f..., whose favorite rejoinder to a request was f... you, used to run around our facility teasing and flirting with the largely male staff. One day, somebody said something that got her little panties in a wad. So she went to HR and claimed sexual harassment.

She subsequently (about a year later) seduced her "harrasser", got knocked up and broke up his marriage. Obviously she felt severely negatively towards this person, right? Bullpuckey. She was and is a spoiled, heartless brat.

I have zip for faith in vague allegations. It's either facts or opinions. All this "hostile work environment" crap is exactly what the article's author is talking about. Quid pro quo harassment deserves to be punished. But "I'm upset because you make me feel uncomfortable" ? Get another job or shut up.
