Sexual Harassment for Consultants?
Medcoop asks: "My friend is working as a consultant for a government institution, and is having a difficult time with his direct supervisor (the person who hired and manages him). She has been repeatedly asking him out (even though she is several decades his senior), and keeps referencing her preference for younger men. This isn't exactly sexual harassment, however, as he hasn't said 'No, and please stop asking.' The problem is that if he says the above, there won't be any more work for him there. He's not really fired, but just not asked back for other work. Where does this situation fall with respect to the law? Does anyone have any advice for him?"
Self mutilation?
It could be painful but may stop the old lady wanting some of his fine consulting ass.
Yep.. I say take one for the team and do her. He may be pleasently suprised... :)

I think he should recompile his kernel.

He should tell her that his boyfriend is a very jealous biker...

I can't believe no one has posted this yet:
Is she hot?
Tell him to post a picture if he expects to get a good response from this crowd.
I can see all of the little geeks at home: "Ooo, I can get hired to code and older women will hit on me!"
A speech...
Asking for legal advice on slashdot is somewhat foolish.
He's asking for a combination of legal and sex advice on slashdot. The only way to one up that is to ask us for spelling tips as well.
Everything will be taken away from you.
