There are few situations more terrifying than waking up to find that yourself having unsolicited sex with someone, but what happens when your attacker claims to have been unconscious during the encounter? That's the dilemma a Welsh court faced when 43 year-old Stephen Lee Davies cited his sexsomnia as the reason he raped a 16 year-old in his bed.
Women everywhere have to deal with sexist and misogynistic co-workers. In a perfect world, the creeps would be written up for sexual harassment and the ignorant would be put through training. In the real world, there are two much more prevalent outcomes. First, women don’t want to deal with the stigma of being a whistle-blower so they choose not to say anything.

For as long as we can remember, people have debated whether women who wear provocative outfits are just asking for verbal harassment. While "provocative" is a relative term, it apparently applies to a pair of tight-fitting jeans and a white top. In case you haven't heard, Ines Sainz, a reporter for Mexico's TV Azteca who donned the aforementioned outfit, was allegedly sexually harassed by New York Jets players while she was conducting interviews in the team locker room. 78 percent of the people surveyed on Asylum said that her pants are a "ploy for attention," while only 21 percent have answered that sexual harrassment is unacceptable.
Hewlett-Packard CEO Mark Hurd was once lauded by share-holders for cost-cutting and leadership abilities, but all of that changed when Jodie Fisher, an HP marketing consultant and former actress, accused him of sexual harassment. While the internal investigation eventually concluded that Hurd and Fisher “never had an affair or intimate sexual relationship,” HP’s board still found Hurd in violation of their code of ethics (supposedly he falsified expense reports to cover up the relationship,) forcing him to step down from his job.
