Must've been because they said X.

Sexual harassment = getting hit on by an ugly person
Flirting = getting hit on by a cute person

I should also say that this woman once became deathly afraid of the number 5, and freaked out whenever she saw it for a few days because the number 5 was "kinda pointy and round"
I'm afraid of 7, because 7 8 9:Q!!!

I'm personalyl glad we have women in the workplace doing this they keep the place civil. Without them to temper our vulgarity and dickheadedness we'd be a bunch of barbarians in the lockeroom throwing one another out windows.

Well, it was quite an inappropriate thing to say, and I also believe that you got off easy. I do agree that there is some craze about men harassing women that's taken away common sense from management. I've had a fair number of girls say very inappropriate things. I never talk that way unless it's in a very specific context. I recently had a girl claim that I was sexually harassing her, and I did absolutely nothing. When I started, she was very hostile towards me. I dealt with it by being friendly. She started wanting to take breaks and luch with me all of the time. One time she did something a little overt, so I explained to her on no uncertain terms that what we had was purely a professional friendship that I did not want to pursue outside work. She got pretty rough after that, started saying really messed up things about me to others behind my back. I confronted her on it, and management found out about it. She claimed I was sexually harassing her, and my supervisor actually believed her and really went off on me. I quit on the spot. In my exit interview, I asked HR why they would believe such total BS, they got rather upset. Fired the girl, fired the manager. I guess there was some justice in the end, but to assume that the male instigates things just because we're male is ludicrous.
However, I'm not so sure that being written up was called for. The offended person should have gone to the mgr, stated her case and the manager could have dealt with it on a more personal level. Saying if it happened again or became a pattern, then disciplinary steps would be taken. Sounds like the mgr freaked and was thinking lawsuit and took a more drastic approach to a solution for a 1st-time offense. It's when patterns of harrassing behaviour are exhibited that lawsuits are brought about. This is far from that.

Let me get this straight. You compliment this "Cindy" chick for being a safety conscious person and wearing kneepads, and you get written up for sexual harrasment?
