What am I going to do with you. Now I never said that women are entitled to more respect then men. I said that we need to be careful around what we say around chicks. [quote]VICTIMS of sexual harassment are not likely to receive meaningful recourse for their complaints if they go to the Labour Department. This is because the Labour Department director general, Datuk Ismail Abdul Rahim, does not seem to understand what sexual harassment is. In fact, he made light of the issue at a recent seminar on Sexual Harassment in the Workplace in conjunction with Sexual Harassment Week. 'It's not seriously sexual harassment if I'm laughing...'In response to the introduction of a sexual harassment statute, Ismail was reported to have said, “Employees would be extremely wary and cautious of cracking jokes … innocuous comments could be wrongly interpreted as a form of sexual harassment.” Not only has the director-general failed miserably to comprehend the gravity of sexual harassment but it is appalling for a man in his position to equate sexual harassment with casual banter or a joke. The irony is that the Human Resources Ministry was responsible for launching the Code of Practice on the Prevention and Eradication of Sexual Harassment in the Workplace which clearly defines what sexual harassment is. The Labour Department, under this ministry, is the main agency in charge of promoting the adoption of this Code of Practice. When the Code of Practice was launched in 1999, the then Human Resources Minister stated, “There is ample evidence everywhere that a high percentage of sexual harassment cases (our emphasis) occurring in the workplace goes unreported. Due to embarrassment, helplessness and fear of being ridiculed, or worse still, of losing their jobs, most of the victims of sexual harassment were prevented from raising the problem and therefore had to suffer in silence….In Malaysia the unfortunate victims are presently facing distressing constraints to report sexual harassment because there is no established procedure to guide them [on] how and where to report.” The Code of Practice, however, has proven to be largely ineffective as it is voluntary and employers are under no compulsion to adopt a sexual harassment policy at the workplace. Ismail himself stated that as of 2008, only 1,330 companies had adopted the Code. This means that there has been a drastic drop as the Human Resources Ministry quoted 4,500 companies adopting the Code in 2001. Even then, the figure only represented 1% of the total number of 400,000 registered companies in Malaysia. The sad reality is that the vast majority of companies do not have a sexual harassment policy in place.[/quote] [quote]he study indicates that 96.5% of women in their survey said that sexual harassment came in the form of touching, which was the most common manifestation of sexual harassment Share Print Email Basil women The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women published a report showing the most recent statistics of sexual harassment in Egypt.

I'm guessing that someone is still in high school and someone has no idea what they are talking about. Lol. I guess you are saying that you would hit a chick just like you would hit a guy.
