"HR" == Herman Robak <herman@skolelinux.no> Herman, HR> If you want to improve the situation, you must understand HR> the problematic gender. I think women have a pretty good understanding of ``the problematic gender''. That's why we're tired of dealing with their crap. HR> How do you motivate the guys to behave, and how do you HR> avoid making them hostile? Frankly, it's not up to women to ``motivate the guys to behave'', it's up to the guys to figure out that their behavior is inappropriate and deal with it. Their hostility is their problem, right up to the point that it results in negative actions affecting someone else. HR> And how do you distinguish a personal hostility from a HR> simple disagreement? Because of the limits of electronic media, it's not always possible to do so. But don't be surprised if suggesting that someone's bad behavior isn't their responsibility leads to your being dismissed.
