These stats are alarming. I base conversations with my children  around this and ways to protect yourself. It’s so common to be sexually assaulted. [/quote]

Interesting what is considered sexual harassment. I saw a crazy homeless guy near the West Falls Church metro who was deliberately exposing himself to anyone who could see it. I did see him and yuck. I don’t consider myself a victim of sexual harassment. But, according to the study’s definitions, I would be counted.[/quote]

What would you call it?

Sexual harassment is unwanted sexual behavior that makes someone feel uncomfortable, scared, or humiliated.[/quote]

I don’t know if I would call it anything other than witnessing someone else’s mental illness.

I’m also more inclined to think “meh” about privates. I don’t find it shocking, just situationally inappropriate and, in this case, yuck.[/quote]

DP. I would still call that sexual harassment. Maybe it is different in degree from something like sexual harassment from a supervisor at work in how it affects your life. You can walk away from it the mentally ill man exposing himself on the street, but not from a boss who is pressuring you into a relationship. That scenario on the street would still put me on guard though and make me scared if I were alone, though, and I would be calling the cops in case that mentally ill man takes it a step further and attacks someone.

DP. Situations are vastly different and I think the problem is with the definition of sexual harassment. Is any of it good behavior? No; but there's a difference between lewd, rude, gross and unwanted; and being put in a position of pressure, imminent danger, or ongoing unsolicited and lewd or rude offenses.[/quote]
