  • Sexual harassment is any sexual advance or sexualised behaviour that is unwelcome, and it becomes harassment at the point that anyone makes a complaint. The complaint doesn't have to come from the recipient, it can come from an observer on behalf of the recipient as long as the recipient concurs that it was unwelcome. Before a complaint is made it can be somewhat subjective.

    If a guy that you like asks you out then that is not harassment until such time as you indicate that you are not interested. This is because asking someone out for the first and only time cannot objectively be seen as inappropriate in a social setting, whereas sexual advances could be.

    • yes that is legal talk, I'm talking about normal life that seems to have disappeared now, there must be a lot of men out there that would worry that just by asking a girl out could be classed as harassment, and I bet there are girls/women also would also like a guy to ask them out there must be quite a few that don't know,

    • Of course there will be an increased awareness of the possible consequences of making advances towards a woman, even when it seems appropriate to do so, but in reality most of us aren't worrying about crazy shit happening. Most men and women aren't irrational and militant.

  • Sexual harassment is very grey becuase it depends on each person's level of offensive. E. g. Three days ago on Twitter a lady posted that a guy in Target called her hot and she said it was sexual harassment. In the comments to her tweet, there were 24 women who replied and 19 said it was a compliment and the other 5 said it was harassment. So who is Right and who is wrong?

  • A guy asking someone out is not sexual harassment. If he continues after she’s said no and asked him to stop, that is harassment.

    Any unwanted touching or sexual talk is sexual harassment.

  • When I'm not attracted to them. If they're hot to me then I'll be receptive.

    If they're unattractive. Eww.

    • Joking?

  • Being politely asked out by a guy once is NOT sexual harassment and I defy anyone to prove it is

    Being asked out four or five times after you’ve already said no once, that’s a diff story

  • Non of that is sexual harassment to me 😊

  • A guy asking you out, like him or not isn't sexual harassment if he asks respectfully.
    Two examples of sexual harassment are unwanted touching or making crude or suggestive comments.

  • Wait... asking someone out is sexual harassment now?
    People need to grow tf up... 😂

  • Some one you don't like sexually. You can never think of having sex with them. They propose you to have sex in rudest manner or worst they just grab or grop you. You feel badly shocked right after and for quite long time afterwards.

  • Any form of unwanted sexual attention eg verbal or physical that is defined as such by the recipient. Be that male female or any of the other 20 or so modern genders

  • Repeated unwanted sexual propositions!
