I'm out. Shame on me for expecting some nuanced discussion on a very important topic on these forums. Thanks to everyone who tried to make this discussion productive; your efforts are appreciated and noticed.

Some of the people who have posted here have some major growing up to do. I hate making that statement, but I feel like having friends or loved ones who deal with this kind of crap on a daily basis is one of the only ways someone will really understand what harassment can mean and what it does to someone.
My only other additions to my original post: 1) if you are treated in a way you don't like, PLEASE tell someone, keep telling someone until action is taken. 2) mentors and parents-talk to your kids about what professionalism on a team means.
