Topic	Are Men Aware of Sexual Harassment?
Esrac 11/29/17 11:03:41 AM #20:	Cocytus posted... That_Happened posted... (Let's assume neither party in any of these situations is a boss or has any power over the other person). 1 A male coworker catcalling or making unwanted statements about a female colleague's appearance to her as she walks by. Is this sexual harassment? 2 A male coworker giving repeated, unwanted invitations to a female colleague to go out for drinks, dinner, or dates. Is this sexual harassment? 3 Do you feel sexual harassment is a fireable offense? This op-ed says "no"... http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/22/opinions/what-part-of-sexual-harassment-dont-men-understand-drexler/index.html The tl;dr for that article is "because sexism". She even makes it a point to bring up Clinton losing to Trump in the election to reinforce her argument that men are sexist. She also only barely mentions the fact that men are the ones who make the initial move for romantic encounters just to dismiss it out of hand. Articles like this are basically useless. She makes a vague mention about men understanding or not understanding appropriate behaviour, but doesn't explain what that appropriate behaviour is. If men apparently don't understand it, maybe it should be better explained to them. Also, if she is really trying to suggest that, even in modern society, that men are no longer expected to be the primary initiator of romantic relationships and encounters: I'm pretty sure she's wrong. --- http://steamcommunity.com/id/Esrac <cite>Esrac posted [p:891266486] in Are Men Aw...
