It seems that a lot of dirty things came out in two years considering celebrities and a lot of woman claim they have been pushed over lines in sexual way…
What is crossing the line to you?

I thought personal opinion, experience with harassment…
Today I read something on one site that two colegues on work became closer but not in intimate way…
Next thing happened she wanted to report him to HR about harassment…
If she did that, he would get fired right way…
Any kind of harassment is defined by unwanted actions, especially if they’re persistent.
No, I don’t think giving someone a genuine compliment is harassment.
But there’s a big difference between telling Linda from accounting that her red dress really suits her, and telling her it makes her arse look hella juicy.
Sexual harassment is unwanted attention and actions of a sexual nature where it shouldn’t be given.
Like in a classroom or in a professional setting.
I don’t think a man on a date who misreads signals and touches his date’s thigh is sexually harassing her. Unless he keeps it up after being prompted theough words or gestures to stop.
But if a boss, movie director, authority figure, or famous person, knows full well the other person can’t deny them for fear of losing their job/position, and they use that as an excuse to do what they want… Then that’s not alright.

Nearly every woman has been the victim of sexual harassment at one time or another. It comes in many forms, from unwanted advances to actual touching. We all just don’t discuss it. Mainly because we get dismissed or told we are lying.

Personally, my line is crossed if someone touches me in a way our trust level does not signify is okay.
If you’re an aquaintance, you don’t get to touch me in a friendly way. Grab my arm, hug me, etc.
If you’re friend level, you don’t get to touch me in a sexual or romantic way. Hand on my thigh, grab my boobs or butt, kiss me in any way, etc.
If I don’t know you at all, you don’t get to catcall or follow me or persistently try to convince me to date or do you.

@anon4362788 @Pikasaur…
Men can be manipulative towards women, and make them feel special, and then convince politelly to be intimate.
Next morning women is feeling being used sexually.
In ten years she reports him of something in public. That happens these days a lot…
I don’t know what you’re trying to say here. Because you think that happened doesn’t mean it went that way. That’s just a scenerio that many men like to say happened because they think pestering a woman into sex is not rape or harassment.

That’s a lot nicer than the reply I had written out.
Also, why tf does a guy think being nice to a woman means they deserve sex and if they don’t get it they’ve been “friend zoned.” Like, if you didn’t want to be her friend and only wanted to manipulate her into having sex with you, just ■■■■■■■ say that to begin with.
