The most damning part of Fowler's statement is how unlike her experience is to that of the author:

1. The sexual incident was verbally communicated, took place off site and after hours versus using corporate communication at work during work hours.

2. The corporate standards for behavior were higher and independent of what a particular woman might or might not find out of line.

3. Human resources uncovered and acted upon the violation of behavioral standards without the women filing a complaint.
