    In all fairness to Smasher, columnists don't write headlines.

    In all fairness to me, Nadel's own editors thought that was the point of the piece.

    Also a salient point.

    More likely one person on the desk thought that. You think they have meetings about headlines?

    I think the headline clearly conveys the letter and spirit of the piece. However, and by whomever, it was coined.

    That's all well and good that you can take a joke, flirty remark or a pat on the ass Susan. Congratulations. I wish there were more of you in the business. However, the majority of women can't even be told, "you look nice today," without taking it the wrong way and running to H.R.

    Really? The majority of women? You're speaking from personal experience?

    Maybe not meetings, but obviously headlines get reads as well as copy.

    Evidently, the people who read the headline and the column saw no reason to change anything.

    I agree we're too often too quick to scream "harassment" these days, but if one of my crew grabbed another's behind, I would also have a coronary and I would ring that mother up in an instant. That's over the top and inappropriate in an office setting. Shrug that off and what do you do when a guy does it in a non-joking manner and you ring him up and he says, "Well, hell, when so-and-so did it everybody laughed and no one got rung up." Also, suppose you are really harassed and you bring that to the attention of HR: How do you answer, "Why didn't you say anything when so-and-so grabbed your behind?"

    There is a line. Grabbing a behind is well beyond that line.

    I'm admittedly naive when it comes to things like this. But I'm always surprised that people think of this the first time through, before it gets to the second part.

    If it were me, I doubt that my mind process would think through to what, when I read it, is the natural course of events. But I suppose that's why you're a manager of people.

    Who knows ... maybe after reading that, I would think it through like that.
