Unanalyzed Text:
The Main Element is that the Women
were not being dressed properly. The point that goes with that is the men
should be working instead of of looking at the Women.
The supervisor made a mistake by putting
his but on the line. It is a free contry so the Women ahould be able to
dress as they want. The supervisor and workers are going to get sued for
Sexual harassment. The case will tarnish the reputiation of the and the
men.
I do not think that commentin on a persons
cloths should be called harrasment. If they would have said how bout you
and me stay after for some late work. I think women use sexual harrassment
to much. It is so bad you can't even talk to some girls without being called
for sexual harrasment. Men do not call for sexual harrassment as much as
women.
