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.
