[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Non-stop sexual harassment? Maybe not, but non-stop sexualization, yes.

[b]I defy any woman on this board to say they've never felt uncomfortable by a man's attention -- whether it involved staring/leering, comments, unwanted touches or unwanted pursuit for dates/sex. That is a reality I think men simply don't understand.[/b]

That said, I don't think inappropriate comments rise to the level of being trapped in a car with a man twice your age who is forcing your face toward his groin or being asked for sex by someone who could end your career with a single call. [/quote]

[b]But what about all of the times YOU LIKED IT? How is a man supposed to know in advance if you're going like it or not unless he tries? As long as you backs off when you tell him, there is no problem. GROW UP![/b] [/quote]

If it’s an unequal power situation like boss/subordinate, teacher/student, mentor/mentee etc, I shouldn’t have be in a position of telling him to back off. In other situation where it would be appropriate to date, there should be some lead up, actual signs she might be interested, prior to asking out AND it has to be super easy for her to turn you down.  There are unfortunately too many guys that lash out when they feel rejected by a woman and that’s not okay.[/quote]
