The Hot, Cold Ampathy Gap in Sexual Harassment

Many sexual harassment prevention programmes ignore the hot, cold, ampathy gap. The advice given is to respect other people's boundaries and don't say or do things you would later regret. People listening might think, sure, that's easy. They 're in a cold state, and they can't imagine how sexual arousal can turn them into the kind of people who violate boundaries or make colleagues uneasy. Report problems. If you see something, say something. Don't be silent.
