It's interesting that you should say that as I spent last year working with an organization of close to 3,000 employees where 80% of them are women. I was surprised to learn that women are just as bad at gawking at other woman as men are. Men look at them sexually, but women look at them in terms of critical assessment. I would hear comments like "she looks like a slut in that dress", but also "she has no business wearing that color with that hair", "she needs to lose about 20 pounds before wearing that again", "I don't want anyone working with me who looks like that!" While the comments were not sexual in nature, they were just as belittling in intent. Women were also very free with their compliments about the appearance of other women, and they were free to say things that would have gotten me fired at any male-dominated company.

Okay, I looked it up. The house of delegates must charge the Comptroller, and the trial is held in the state senate. If the legislature is not in session, then it is the Governors responsibility.
The legislature is in session, so there is nothing the Governor can do.
If they want to see action, this woman needs to file a harrassment claim today, and a lawsuit on Monday.

I would have been uncomfortable to be sitting in his meeting when that happened.
however, if we were at a bar and he did it I could find it more amusing.. like, when the waitress bounced the drink tray off of his head for being ignorant.
Yes, it is.Pete said:
Ehrlich cannot dismiss Schaeffer. Ehrlich could make a public statement that he thinks Schaeffer was out of line. Beyond that, he is powerless to do much of anything to affect Schaeffer.

Personally, I think I'll call my delegates.
Here's a link to get their email addresses.

That women could rightfully sue for sexual harrassment and win big. NEGATIVE!! SEVERAL LAWYERS CALLED WTOP YESTERDAY & STATED THAT A ONE TIME OCCURANCE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE SEXUAL HARASSMENT. CONTINUED OCCURANCES DO.
There is no room in the workplace for that kind of activity. AGREED - (unless she's really hot)
And with an elected official that is representing the state, there should be no room for that kind of activity in public away from the job either. AGREED - REGARDLESS HOW HOT SHE IS
Im not saying that I dont look, but I try as hard as I can not to be so obvious about it as to make anyone uncomfortable. KEEP LOOKING, MEANS YOU'RE NORMAL
To look was what I refer to as dirty old man. LOOKING NEVER MADE ANYONE "DIRTY"
To call her back is what I call sick and demeaning to the women. ONLY WHEN DONE IN PUBLIC AS THIS WAS...
now, let me go find a thread that I can make totally useless jokes on and get back to who I am.
I see another attitude adjustment session in your future.
