[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t considering one experience “harassment”

Be is from cat calling in a street, a random comment at a party, a homeless man exposing himself on the street. Perhaps it meets the definition, but this shouldn’t be traumatizing.  Just move on.

Harassment is if the same person repeatedly gives you unwanted attention after you have explicitly told them to stop. [/quote]

NP and it’s this for me.  I’m 50.  Of course random things like that have  happened to me but they didn’t bother or affect me.  If you asked, I’d say I was never sexually harassed.  I didn’t give any of that a second thought and was never scared.  [/quote]

Again, just because YOU would say so doesn’t mean others can’t or wouldn’t. There is a subjective element to harassment (by law). And depends on what the circumstances are-legally.

But even if not “harassment” it can certainly be upsetting, scary, or offensive. And for that reason - wrong.

And since we’re sharing anecdotes. I e been groped (as a teenager in a restaurant kitchen). I’ve been propositioned. I’ve had men say some very disturbing things in the workplace to me (what they’d like to do to or with me). These examples are just in a work environment. And do not include other situations. So it’s great some of you have not experienced this or have a higher tolerance for such actions. But that doesn’t mean they’re not occurring. So check yourself on your judgment. [/quote]
