It's like my example of trying to read a name badge.

Those things happen a lot.
Exactly my point as well that pretty soon making eye contact is going to be considered sexual harassment if all this continues down this slippery ass slope.

I actually agree that some of these "sexual harassment" claims are going a bit overboard.. Even the "he tried to kiss" me claim. As long as when you pull away and say no they leave it at that, I am ok with that. I understand that a man can misread a situation and think a kiss may be welcomed when its not.
I also think that sexual assault and sexual harassment are being lumped together, which is a very bad thing, in my opinion.

Just an opinion question. Looking nice is one thing, but putting out the sexy vibes seems practically unfair. #justwalkaway.
No, wanting to look and feel your best does NOT mean you want to be objectified.

No, but don't be offended you were offered the two other pies.
