Hello, Everyone
I often here this during Toast Song discussions and debates. A female Brother
quotes "I am proud to be called a man." However, if a male were to label or
call a female a man, even though she may not be offended by the remark.
Wouldn't this potentially be interpreted as "Sexual Harassment?" Isn't sexual
harrassment a violation of the Fraternity's Risk Management Policy?
I can confirm that in states like California, New York, Texas, Florida, and
others that if this remark was vehemently condoned, employees in the
workplace would potentially encounter either job reprimand or termination.
The company or firm itself may encounter a potential future lawsuit regarding
sexual harassment, or at minimum an employee relations case dilemma by their
human resources department.
I wonder if any of you recall the Clarence Thomas U.S. Supreme Court
confirmation hearings with Anita Hill in 1991 or 1992?
