I was puzzled by the stories some women told about freezing up, unable to repel a boss or sometimes even a co-worker. As the stories about what these women experienced became more perverted and even downright weird, I wondered whether male hubris had finally gone berserk.

A few years ago, I met a fellow who had won a Pulitzer for foreign reporting the year before.
