This thread is a nightmare of face-saving and overreacting, especially the statement about avoiding women altogether for legal protection (mentally diusturbed mindset).

Summary of good take-aways:

1. Don't hawk your female students, trying to protect them. Keep an equally watchful eye over all team members.

2. LBGT issues should handled according to state law, as mentioned. No exceptions.

3. If a student reports feeling uncomfortable, address it appropriately. Publicly embarrassing offenders for the sake of a "lesson" is not appropriate.

4. If a student makes another student uncomfortable, address it appropriately ("fool-me-twice" policy works well, one warning and one warning only before serious action is taken)

5. It's relatively easy to spot the difference between consensual flirting and creeping. If you can't, consult another mentor before asking a student if they felt threatened.

6. Inter-team relationships will occur but should not be blatant.

7. Students look out for one-another, don't underestimate the power of simply staying in groups.
