Have you ever been sitting in on a meeting at Hooters and have some low life suit ask you when you are going to change into your shortie shorts and tank to start your shift because he wants to see your tits, all in front of your bosses/co-workers, who think it's hilarious? It was degrading. Off tangent really, but it paints the picture of "damned if you do, damned if you don't."

I've been a recipient of inappropriate comments like that before from colleagues (although not to that extent) and I know how it feels. I think things like that happen in the workplace a lot more than people realize.
