Pretend for a moment that you're a woman. You go to the office and the men are openly sharing around a porn magazine with no concern. Does that seem like a safe professional workplace? That's essentially what this represents. It isn't what's happening anymore, but it is the origin.

People also used to smoke in offices. Safe and professional is a relatively new thing.

Decorum changes over time, but it isn't new. There's always a set of rules people follow no matter where or when you are.
