That's what I'm doing.

I find the women that work in a blue collar environment are as disgusted/amused with the corporate PC bullshit as the men. Probably because they have men cow orkers, that are friends, and will step in if things get out of hand. There are occasional cases of genuine harassment, just as there are occasional cases of women using the rules for revenge/profit.

However, the white collar women are quick to complain about what they perceive as "inappropriate behavior", real or imagined.

Of course I'm speaking of a work environment with thousands of people... and a union, which always offers recourse.
