ABSTRACT
Sexual harassment policies have been adopted, over the last decade, in practically all North American institutions for the claimed purposes of communicating to their constituents what behavior is considered acceptable and what kind of speech is forbidden. The very fact that rape or sexual assault is even mentioned in sexual harassment policies, that could and should be enforced by internal administrative mechanisms, overseen by so-called equity officers shows how far the confusion has gone. Sexual harassment policies are not so much anodyne regulations designed to smooth away conflicts in the workplace but powerful weapons that have been used even with the effect of killing innocent victims. The reason even the subtlest forms of "harassment" must be eradicated with fanatic devotion, and that they must be stopped as early as in kindergarten by suspending three- and four-year-old boys, is the claim that there is a slippery slope.
