I can only dream of being sexually harrassed. 
I can only dream of being sexually harrassed.
People have gotten to the point where they believe that ANY attention, even if it's inappropriate, is better than nothing.
Especially as they get older and start to feel completely invisible to the rest of society. They long for that "rush" of someone, anyone paying attention to them. I understand that. At times, I feel it myself, and I'm sure I'll feel it all the more as I get older.
But it's terribly disturbing to me that society has gotten to a point where lewd comments, gestures, or actions are considered to be "compliments." I work with a lot of younger people, and it's absolutely frightening to me that they send and receive obscene messages to each other on a daily basis because they think it's "normal".

I agree it's completely uncalled for. And honestly, I don't see what the guy OR girl gets out of it... I mean the person clearly does not want you... I would think it would be embarrassing ... but IDK...
What I have seen however, is a clear "double" standard - NOT among Christian women (I'm assuming) - AND I'm not saying it's wrong either ... so put the blades down!
If the guy is attractive enough...."harassment" becomes a little more loosely defined....

I knew I could count on you all for help and advice
Thank you so much!
It is a hard thing to prove....
Especially the ones that do it so much in the workplace....they even know how to get past it....
You know the ones...
That is a sly fox....
With little comments here and there
But yea....when my chest got full out grabbed on an elevator....
I gave the creep a piece of my mind....
He said " I'm sorry I like to touch"
HR said..." Oh noooo...he is an amazing employee...he would never touch you."
Well I walked out!

I am honest here....
I truly used to think I was only getting sexually harassed on jobs by some men....
Because I was kinda poor with no college education or career so to speak...
But that's not true!
Even you ladies with awesome careers get sexually harassed!
It's a battle real hard to win
Unless you are believed!

Ramx, I think you're a great person (I saw how you handled a self-righteous heckler in your other thread and you did a great job ), but... at the risk of sounding sexist myself , you're a guy, so I understand you probably don't hear this going on or have an awareness of it.
But if you're a woman, this can be an everyday occurrence, no matter where or who they are. Some male comedians in pop culture have entire skits themed around "women who are too ugly to be (assaulted)", etc.
Now, I am in no way saying that guys can't be sexually harassed. Tintin, I applaud you for being brave enough to share your story and I can think of a few other guys who have shared in the past when this subject was brought up.
But that's one of the positive things about these discussions--hopefully it will make us all aware of what others are going through and make us want to stand up for one another.

I understand what the guys here are saying about this, but it's a lot like men who get suckered in by a pretty face, buy her everything she wants, then get dumped (because the ignore all the big warning signs that she's just using him anyway) and bitterly complain that all women are out for money.
The moral of the story is, whether man or woman, don't let someone use/mistreat/abuse you just because they (man or woman) look good.

Men and woman of all ages get sexually harassed and some time are the one who harass you. For example I used to deliver pizzas for extra money the place I worked would say JeniBean will be your driver this evening. I would arrive to a man in all (so he thought) glory, a man in boxers and always the snide remarks I will give you a little extra if you show me your.....Sexual Harassment is every where and on a daily basis.

To my "fault" you'll see the military coming out from time to time in my replies... :/
BUT.... I was under the impression the days of meek, submissive women were over! What ever happened to girlpowa??
Seriously, ladies if this is occurring at every turn you have to speak up - loudly AND force-ably! Especially if you are a Christian woman! And I mean ESPECIALLY -! You belong to God first.... once THAT is known... ANY man that continues in that behavior has to be dealt with...
