You got to mix it, child, you got to fix it

F-bombs are o.k., but don't call somebody (or something) a "bitch."

The bastards!

And nowadays, it is 'sexual harassment' to compliment anyone on any aspect of their physical appearance.

You can say that they look like crap, or what the cat dragged in, but if you say something nice, it is cause for an investigation and harassment by corporate legal a****les.

When I worked at a large financial institution downtown, I distinctly remember hearing a female manager, superior in position to me, refer to a guy as a "dick"...I thought to myself, isn't calling a guy a dick like calling a woman the "c" word... and wondered if a guy could get away with saying the "c" word like I heard that woman say dick...

PS - godfry, my experience in the workplace showed me that if a woman liked the guy that complimented her, then it wasn't harrassment, but if she thought he was a dick, then he would probably have a complaint filed against him.. I personally witnessed that double standard several times in the workplace... the harrassment claim became a weapon to be used against people the purported victim didn't like or wanted to get ahead of in the line of advancement opportunities... When I witnessed that I thought it cheapened the legitimacy of valid harrassment claims..
