Anti-harassment training made me violent

So work had this mandatory anti-harassment training. Boring and not awesome. Wrong -- it was awesome. And not awesome in the sense that it was great, but awesome in the sense that you can't believe dbags like this actually exist.

As part of the training we had to discuss various scenarios that could happen at the office, and then rate them in terms of just how bad they were. Here is the gist of the relevant scenario:

Male Partner tells Female Associate that he can't bring her to Atlanta for the deposition b/c he doesn't want people in the office to think he's hitting on her.

The Dbag who had to discuss this was asked how he thought the female associate felt when she was told this. And he said:

"I would probably be thinking 'Am I pretty?' An attractive woman who is used to being objectified might take offense. But an unattractive woman would probably be flattered."

If we weren't in anti-harassment training just at that moment, I would have pulled my hair back and met him in the parking lot. What a panty waste!
