Actually we just had our annual ***ual harassment PC indoctrination 
class and in the federal government, a woman can indeed decide that 
something is retroactive harassment-- even if she explicitly invited the 
behavior at the time.

My favorite aspect of this nonsense is the fact that harassment isn't 
based on the speaker's intent but on how the listener perceived what was 
being said. So basically you have no control over any of it. So long as 
someone claims to have perceived you acting in a harassing manner, it 
doesn't matter if you really were or not. Reality takes a back seat to 
belief-- just as the PC mavens like it.
