Policing sexual "harassment" should not be the responsibility of employers

Policing sexual harassment should be the responsibility of the employer for the employee is helping bringing money into the business and in return I argue not only should the employer pay the employee for his/her services, but also provide a healthy working environment. By providing a healthy working environmemt which includes policing sexual harassment, the employee is more likely to increase his/her job performance and thus making it a win-win scenerio. A win-win for if the employee does not have to worry about tackling issues like sexual harassment by himself/herself then he/she can use that time and energy for work; which could lead to future promotions and salary increase. Its also a win for the employer for it means more money rolling into the business and the company will have a better reputation when it comes to being a safe and professional environment, therefore attracting more potential employees applying for a job for that employer's company and not his/her competitor(s). You started off your debate by sterotyping which is not a very good way to start a debate, but to move on with your view of women making themselves look good while at work. I agree with you to a point that there are some women who make themselves look good so they can be eye-candy to all men who come across the womens' path be it at the mall, club, or work. However, I would assume or hope most women do it for its culturally accepted and maybe to make themselves look attractive at work for it could be a self-esteem booster. Besides have you ever thought maybe a woman makes herself look attractive while on the job for she knows the men will be day dreaming about her and not focusing on their work and this could lead to her getting a promotion over her male co-workers. Not saying women do this, but I wouldn't be surprise either. You then stated how your agrument applied to both females and males. Now I would think both men and women experience sexual harassment while working, but I assume it is an issue mainly for women then men due to the fact of how men and women are wired biologically different when it comes to sexism. Now hear me out and this is in general and my opinion between the sexes. A male is more likely to enjoy sexual harassment for it leads to attention for most males and more likely to jump into the woman's pants faster then vice-versa. I also think its more of a one sided issue for sexual harassment according to Dr. John Gottman and I quote " Sexual harassment is a subtle rape, and rape is more about fear than sex" (NYTimes, Archieves, Published Oct. 22, 1991 by Daniel Goleman). Not sure how big of a problem sexual harassment is in the overall work force, but if it is a major problem then would police really be helpful? You wrote something along the lines that sexual harassment should be resolved by the victim seeking help from the police and lawyers. Yes, police should get involved, but only in the most extreme sexual harassment situations for in my opinion they potentially have more important things to attend to such as someone with a gun in a school, a multi-car fatal accident, etc. Besides going back to reputation do you think it would look good for an employer if the police were continously being called due to sexual harassment. Therefore policing sexual harassment should be the responsability of the employer and he/she should use all the resources that he/she and his/her employees could use to provide and work in a safe and professional environment.
