Yes ... there's some, >I guess. I heard from some female friends that British guys are somewhat sexist. However, Madonna didn't seem to think so. She doesn't seem the sort to take one tiny ounce of crap from anyone. I always think of Europe as so liberal and ahead of the curve in social issues, is it mainly Norway, Sweden, Holland, and France? I know they elect strippers in Italy. Thing have changed a lot in the US - ever since Clarence Thomas you can't say "Is that a pubic hair on your coke can" - no really, you say can't any kind of such shit in the workplace at all in the US. You have to be careful even of saying "you look nice today." What is interesting is how they define sexual harrasment for college professors at one major university in California. If a professor and student date by mutual consent, its alright. However, if anyone objects to it, then its sexual harassment. I think this means a third party not involved could lodge a complaint. And also, there is the danger that when the relationship turns sour, the student could cause a lot of trouble if mean spirited.
