I (40M) recently ran into my family while I was on a research expedition to the aquarium with my colleague (25F). She’s a very attractive young (though not alarmingly so!) woman, so I understand why my nephew (16M) would be taken with her, but he could not take his eyes off of her breasts for the entire duration of our conversation. I called my brother to tell him that his attentions made me uncomfortable and he told me that I was projecting, and that his son was perhaps a bit overeager but ultimately harmless. When I told him he was making excuses for his son’s misogynistic behaviour he accused me of sleeping with her, and I was so shocked I hung up on him and have been avoiding him since. AITA?

Greetings all. I (40M) have just left a meeting with my supervisor where my request to have a direct report (25F) transferred was denied. I’ll try to keep this as vague as possible due to the delicate nature of the situation but I was trying to preemptively avoid any inappropriate behaviour on my behalf. I praised her work and her collaborative efforts, not wanting my personal feelings to reflect poorly on her, which led to my request being dismissed. Unfortunately, she overheard me. Is the new tension that will no doubt result from this grounds to reopen this issue, this time with HR (the first denial was issued during an informal verbal conversation with my supervisor)?
