Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2006 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.
I got acquainted with Stuart Sierra via the NY Tech Meetup and/or Lisp NYC, both of which I can't attend these days because I have class on Tuesday nights. Anyway, he's the coder behind Project Posner, which has lots of cases arranged for your perusal. I suggest doing a query on a profanity to find some interesting ones.
But many cases of sexual harassment involve hostility to female coworkers because they are female. Sometimes it is because the men feel that their macho workplace has been "invaded" by women, whose presence damages the self-esteem that the men derive from thinking they are doing work that only men can do.
Or you could check out the readymade links to interesting cases.
