I was doing some project work the other day at a client site. I was
getting ready to give a presentation with the usual cables and chaos all
around me. The client's manager, a female, somewhat older than me who I
had just met, said "here's my card." I couldnt reach for the card - she
saw that and slipped it into my pants pocket.

Later during the presentation someone else was standing up speaking. I
was against the back wall, and she walked up and whispered heavily,
damply, with her mouth encompassing my ear, that the documents sent to
the printer were now finished. It was the kind of hot and warm whisper
that would get me fired.

So, on one hand there's clearly a double standard, because I wouldnt
even dare to try such a thing, even on ppl I knew well. I'd be pissed if
I saw a male co-worker doing it, and I would say something to him. But,
when its done to me? Heh, I get a sh1t eating grin and have a smile the
rest of the day.

Yes, that is certainly a double standard and we ladies deal with them as
well. When was the last time a responsible, adult woman was able to have
no-strings-attached sex without fear of being labeled something akin to
a slut?
Were this Utopia, there would be no double standards and all would be
treated equally!
