A little while ago, there was a female, former RCMP officer who committed suicide. She had PTSD and had complained of sexual harassment and assault at her workplace.... I was sorry to hear about the suicide. Even though a class-action lawsuit had been resolved recently, the RCMP said there was another class-action suit in the works by a group of female officers and they were resisting it.... As far as I understand, the laws in Canada had been refined lately--not too long ago?--and it'd be hard for any man to say or do anything against a woman without having a problem....
One thing that strikes me is that it's very insulting for a woman to get any kind of sexual comments or even flattery about her appearance when she's trying to do her job...! It's downright insulting! Maybe the men could consider that...? [In the past, some of the female officers unfortunately endured more than harassment and were allegedly assaulted.... The whole issue is a serious and complex matter to handle, in my opinion. But I was glad for the settlement which had been made....]
