'More than half of women' sexually harassed at work, survey reveals

[Darkeon]

As the definition of 'Sexual Harassment' gets bloated by Feminism, it's only natural that it'll happen more often.

Yeah obviously. It's rude. But let's not pretend that it constitutes assault.

Normal is an interesting choice of words. In my circle of acquaintances, yes certainly. Outside of my bubble? Not so much.

Acquaintances aren't strangers though. Grabbing arse could be fondling

Well, that would depend on exactly what was done, and the situation it was done in. Would it be assault if a grown man did it to a school-age child that wasn't his? At what point does it go from nothing-sexual-harassment-sexual assault. Honestly, it's going to be subjective.

Some people really struggle with the concept that a ''wumin'' might enjoy sexual advances if she finds the guy attractive-it's almost like, I dunno dude, unwanted sex advances are wanted if they want to bed the guy !

Even if the fracking middle ages ''LUZ SHE IS TU UGLY TU RAPE'' was not a legal argument...

Who are these people, sexually harassing the ugly women?

Who's the guy who sneaks up on 400lb Gertrud age 65 and sticks his hand down her pants?

If half the working population gets sexually harassed, why haven't I seen it yet? And what type of person does this?

Should he be awarded a medal for being inclusive and treating all women regardless of physical attractiveness as equal value sex objects?

[Mistame]

Sorry, but... what??

Just pointing out how it obfuscates the fact that only 13% claim to have experienced something actually worth discussing. IE, 47% haven't experienced anything, 40% are easily offended and 13% may actually have valid claims.

That's what harassment is, UNWANTED ATTENTION - it isn't harassment if it's wanted

No, it's not.

I'm a male. I have two female co-workers that regularly slap my ass but it's not something that bothers me. They get it back, anyway.

They really should stop doing stuff like this "The survey categorised harassment as ranging from inappropriate jokes to physical assault.". It completely invalidates the survey.

[msdos]

Okay, women, give us the names, credentials and addresses of all the men who wronged you in your life and the Coalition of Men will all band together and exact revenge for you. Sound good? Feel better? Aww.

Seriously, what do you want? What do you want to happen? How do you change men's behavior? Do you want to go on that crusade, I mean do you really want to? What is the point of the awareness? Can you make it stop for women everywhere, not just in your own country? Should I call out a guy and endanger myself every single time I think a woman is being disrespected? Also, if no one cares about my harassment, then why should I care? Do women think they're the only ones who get harassed? What about all the snapchat videos I'm in, uploaded to the internet by women without my consent?? Taking creepy snaps of me while I'm working?

Women, you show me a good, bullet proof solution to your plight, then maybe we can move forward, but as it is, I don't see a solution. I see human beings and I see human nature and I see tolerance.
If you want to fundamentally change human beings, you need to take a look at eugenics and genetics. The crying on the internet isn't accomplishing anything!!!! I don't cry online everytime I feel lonely or get rejected, it's a part of life I have to deal with.

Man: "Hi"

Woman: "OMG SEXUAL HARASSMENT, RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPE!!!!!"

To exaggerate a little...

That's the society we're in right now, and I wouldn't believe these surveys in the slightest... that, and the fact it's probably from a misandry biased and/or small pool sample.

the irony is that its the exact oposite.

woman smiles, says "hello" becasue that is what polite coworkers do.
man "omg, she wants me to tap that"

and this btw? is NOT an exaggeration. and the saddest part about this whole thing is that these men? don't see anything wrong with this assumption, they have NO clue, instead they are convinced that when a woman doesn't favorably respond to their advances, she was leading them on.

[Aydinx2]

That's because ''JUKES'' in question boil down to ''I have something very big and very hard in my pants, do you want to see it from closer ?''

Do they? Because that's kind of a big statement you're making there.

Except that it is. And an extremely big one at that. At least 3.5 billion people were just generalized by you. And you have nothing to back up your claim,
I can just as easily say that every woman who reports sexual harrassment is lying, but that would be retarded, because common sense tells us that that's not the case.

It isn't.

"noun: harassment; plural noun: harassments

aggressive pressure or intimidation."

So already you can see that if it isn't agressive, it's not harassment. It being wanted or not is not the only criteria.

countless reports by women say otherwise, you are just dismissing them. reports by MEN who witness this crap and are not morons who think woman smiling at them = she wants them. my experiences. my husband's experiences of male coworkers utterly convinced that female coworkers greeting my husband politely means they are hot for him. experiences of my friends. comments by men who ARE morons in this thread and the ones before it.

did I say every man is that clueless? no. I did not. all I did was describe a ridiculously, sadly incredibly COMMON occurrence. and judging by you arguing the semantics of harrasment? you are one of those clueless man, I'm very sorry for you AND any women who have to deal with you in person.

Meanwhile you have guys playing the victim because they keep repeating the "women lie" and "they hate me because i'm male"

As opposed to women playing the victim because "I overheard a mildly dirty joke" and "someone said good morning to me."

And yes, women are famous for only speaking the truth. A woman would never lie. Their vaginas are magical and full of purity and goodness, which means no woman in the history of ever would lie about something. And they certainly wouldn't go around being irrational men haters. Nope, that's downright inconceivable.

And God knows women never, ever, ever tell inappropriate jokes, hit on men, or even just talk about men in sexual ways. Their magic vaginas prevent that from happening!

They're all just innocent, harmless little girls.

True story.

...who think woman smiling at them = she wants them...

Oh right right, because when a woman with her magical vagina smiles at someone, that's totally fine! But if a guy does it to a woman, that's the creepist shit that ever happened and he practically raped her on the spot. HALP, HARASSMENT!!!

Problem with this survey is it's designed to make news yet has almost zero point. To truly gauge the scale of the problem you need to relate it a timeline. For example if the question is have you ever been sexually harassed at work that covers 50 years or so for some people. So you could end up going back as bar as the 70's possibly even 60's which was basically the era of see ass grab ass. To tackle the issue you need accurate information about how it is playing out now and whether the issue is becoming better or worse.

Now I suspect the usual people coming in here spouting nonsense but I wanted to highlight certain points I felt important

Because everything is sexual harassment today. Sure.

[Pantalaimon]

Makes you wonder how many of the posters on here actually aren't just sharing the opinion that sometimes some men/women lie about accusations, but instead ARE the kind of people who would or have sexually harassed someone before and just like to spread the notion that victim bashing is entertaining.

Food for thought.

"Human beings are gonna act like human beings, food for thought"
lol

Honestly, maybe we need to go back to the Victorian Era then? No one talks about sex, no one has sex out of wedlock and you can forget about it. Is this what people want? I'm confused by what people are saying and what they actually think can serve as a viable solution.
It's like complaining about hurricanes or something.. Like, well, you can move away I guess? What can you do about it realistically other than bicker over it?

Most feminists don't understand basic words and logic, so it should be expected that they'd bloat or conflate words.

...I'm confused by what people are saying...

It was nice of you to state the obvious, but we already got that <3

Pretty sure more posters on here than what we think are the type to sexually harass, considering the personality traits that are expressed when people have the anonymous guise of random forum poster who likes to disbelieve any notion that people are sexually harassed at work, or other situations, and in fact are telling the truth.

Like people tend to defend like actions.

Makes you wonder how many posters who choose to use some white mammal in their portrait aren't just using a portait of a white mammal but ARE using code to identify themselves as secret Nazi sympathizers who masturbate rampantly to child porn on a daily basis.

Food for thought.


Hey look, I can do that, too!

By the way, once while I was having sex with my wife, instead of asking "who's your daddy" I accidentally said "how's your daddy" and we put our clothes back on and started discussing her dad's cholesterol. That's right, I just harassed everyone reading this post! Boom! I R RAPIST 4 SHORE NAOW!!!

Considering that not only are "dirty jokes" included under "sexual harassment", they also happen to fall under standard human behavior, pretty much everyone here has "sexually harassed" someone.
