So I was giving a demo of some e-newsletter software I wrote and as part of the demo, I had to show a resulting e-mail, so before I head into the demo, I shutdown my mail client. Then at the point where I show the e-newsletter sample, I login to my mail via Neomail and I see the e-newsletter sample in my Inbox, but also a piece of e-mail titled "Girls with horses [insert random letters here]" ... lovely. SpamAssassin did mark it with the {SPAM?} subject prefix, but I couldn't delete it fast enough before the others in the meeting (and there was a woman there :( ) made joking comments about what kind of sites I visit.
Peace,
Purdy

Yet another reminder of how women continue to be objectified... could also be considered some form of harassment, but IANAL.

One difference, in practical terms, is that HR/legal apply a different set of "harrassment" rules depending on who complains. Is it fair? No. Does it happen? Yes.
