Out Back Question of the Week—Answer

This is an essay question, of sorts.

What is your definition of sexual harassment and does the actions of Comedian David Letterman fall into this category?  Why or why not?

My response is that in any position I have held since Sexual Harassment came to the fore, several decades ago, I would have been in deep trouble for doing what Mr Letterman did, if it had surfaced.  And, the problem is not just favors to the woman (or man) of one's attraction, but also that those not so favored might feel they were being slighted for advancement or other appropriate perks and bennies.  But that is just me.  Your mileage may vary.
