Sexual Harrassment and How to Avoid It

It's that time of year again (at least at my company): the time when all managers have to go through training on how to avoid and address sexual harassment in the workplace. A friend pointed me to these handy tips, which if universally followed would go a long way towards addressing this problem. This one is my favorite:

8. Always be honest with people! Don’t pretend to be a caring friend in order to gain the trust of someone you want to assault. Consider telling them you plan to assault them. If you don’t communicate your intentions, the other person may take that as a sign that you do not plan to rape them.
