There's a great public radio show called "The World". Helps us ignorant Americans keep in touch with what's going on elsewhere.
Friday, they did something special, and devoted the whole hour to:
"Sexual harassment at work is a global problem. Now, the world is finally talking about it." (PRI)
It was mostly women, talking to women from all over, about how pervasive and devastating the problem is. Marco, the main host, was there, but he took a back seat for this one.
I highly recommend this. The page has both audio and text summary for each segment.

What is it with this thread that it keeps on drawing personal attacks from people who should know better?
Take it to Hell, or don't post it.
I'm beginning to think that this thread has reached the end of its useful life and is now more trouble than it's worth. If people want to resume semi-civilised discussion, then feel free, otherwise this thread will be closed.

Eliab--
Respectfully, the thread deals with a new-to-the-news situation, with frequent breaking news. It's a really important topic--basically, social justice.
Please keep the thread open.
Thx. ![[Smile]](smile.gif) [ 22. October 2017, 02:31: Message edited by: Golden Key ]

I can't speak to the issue of personal attacks, but hope the thread can stay open.
