I'm all for protecting women, as I believe most sexual harassment cases are male against female.  But let's not forget that it can go the other way.

Years ago, I was paired up with a female coworker on some assignments.  I thought we worked well together.  But she was all over me CONSTANTLY, touching my arm, talking really close.  I didn't take it as a romantic thing, as I wasn't interested, and her husband (whom I was friendly with) often visited the workplace, so I never reciprocated or reacted in any way.

One day, while I was making a point (I literally pointed my hand in the air), our hands barely touched.  She made a big gasp and her eyes widened.  As when she would touch me, I didn't react, just kept on talking and working.  But after that, we were never assigned to work together.  I'm guessing she went to the manager and reported something.  I'm glad no actual case was made of it, but am still scratching my head.  What was she thinking?  Ladies, your thoughts?
