Rob's attempts to get beyond the seventies' stereotypes of sexual harassment at the workplace are to the point, and Kelley and Lou's refusal to acknowledge that things have changed merely conservative.

In Britain now a majority of the workforce is female, and approaching that in many countries. At school boys systematically perform worse than girls. Sexual harassment at work has not enjoyed official sanction for many years. On the contrary, caricatures of male sexism give a radical gloss to anti-working class prejudices.

Official campaigns to divide society along lines of gender have always facilitated elite rule. -- James Heartfield
