If I say to a man, "nice tie", that's certainly acceptable.... unless I'm openly queer. Then it could be deemed sexual harassment by a homophobe and his complaint would be considered serious by management desperately trying to be politically correct.

With women, it becomes infinitely more complicated. If I say nice blouse, I have to worry about her feeling I said it in a salacious manner. Or she felt I was leering at the time. Then I stand accused of creating a hostile workplace when the hostility is hers.


Oh, and I can't say her hair smells nice... if I'm a midget.
