Aggie:
Pfffffft.
I feel like Lt. Potter's actions are principled in the same way that drinking a puddle so your date doesn't step in it would be chivalrous.
Matheyus:
--- Quote from: Method of Madness on 28 Feb 2012, 12:22 ---I think that might be why he was initially sorry, but I think once Hanners explained it he understood why his actions were wrong. Honestly, though? I can't say I'd agree with it being sexual harassment.
--- End quote ---
I would disagree. He displayed a picture, showing her drunk and in her underwear, in her place of work. Beyond the potential issue of word spreading to her colleagues, I think we should keep in mind that this picture was shown, specifically, to individuals who she was supposed to be carrying out security checks on, possibly including pat-downs. While we all know that Marten and Marigold are, for the most part, good people, Lt. Potter's job now required her to physically inspect two strangers who have just viewed what could be considered a pretty provocative image of her. While Station probably didn't attach any sexual meaning to the photo, he still created a hostile and exceedingly awkward work environment with it.
Also, I don't know that Hanners really explained much, beyond telling him that what he did was "cruel" and "not nice".
Method of Madness:
I actually agree with that first paragraph entirely, it was the fact that he didn't attach any sexual meaning that made me think it wasn't sexual harassment, I wasn't disputing the hostile work environment part.
Carl-E:
Intent is not the deciding issue on whether a person is being harrassed, sexually or otherwise.
iduguphergrave:
Exactly. If it was, all any guy has to say is "I wasn't trying to harass her!" (which is what some of them try saying anyway)
EDIT: I just realized how sexist it was of me to say "any guy" as opposed to "anybody" :-o
