Views on sexual harassment

[donttread]

A 90 year old shouldn't get a groping pass because he's 90. But it is an indication that he has been groping for a while, so is he entitled to that pass if he is groping at 50?

I don't care if he's 20 , if he's in a wheel chair. WALK THE $#@! AWAY

I would have thought the percentage between men and women would be much wider to be honest

Same, actually.

If one believes the majority of TV shows most women in an office setting dress very provocatively with cleavage down to their navels. Perhaps women are as much at fault for being hit on as men are for hitting on them. And before you say men should respect the bodies of women why are they exposing themselves to the degree they are if they aren't advertising for something?Hey Darling, want to have lunch with me. No, okThats not sexual harassmentEvery time you pass her desk you ask the same question with the same answer, that is harassment.

Most women dress appropriately for work - the ones who don't often get a talk petty quickly from HR about the dress code(and HR for a reason, rather than by a direct supervisor or manager). Regardless, if I wear a skirt to work that isn't Amish-esque, that doesn't mean a man can't demonstrate enough self-restraint to not touch me or to say something inappropriate.

I don't think that a compliment from a male coworker on a nice outfit or new haircut is harassment any more than I think that complimenting a male coworker on a nice suit or an attractive haircut is sexual harassment. For some people who are hammers, everything is a nail. However, persistent but rebuked requests to date, inappropriate touching (not a hug a Christmastime), bawdy jokes and "compliments" about body parts is sexual harassment, not to mention predicating your employment on "favors".
