This was an old case I remember seeing, I guess they finally decided to take it to trial after the Harvard Presidents remarks (which weren't all that inflammatory to me, perhaps a little sexist, but there is a marked distinction between the majors favored by each sex by the time students get to college, most probably due to culture and upbringing, but it is definitely noticeable). I see it this way: If I wore a low cut blouse and tight pants to work, I'd probably be lucky to not get fired, granted that wold not be acceptable in nearly all of society for me to do, but why should it matter, when in both cases it's unnacceptable behaviour for either sex?
