I also wonder if some people out there think that catcalling and other similar types of actions fall under the umbrella of “complimenting” and are getting bent out of shape about people not liking their “compliments”.
I don't think anything has changed when it comes to where to draw the line of decency and where harassment starts.
But some people may make this now an issue so they can make victims the bad ones and the ines who exaggerate, instead of blaming the people who cross the line.
A male coworker, boss, or client complimenting my physical appearance always made me uncomfortable. A professional colleague or client asking me for drinks alone was a come-on and the request always made me feel uncomfortable as well.
In my private life, neither compliments on my appearance nor asking me out for a drink was uncomfortable because no power play was involved. I could say no without repercussions.
There is a difference between work relationships and private relationships.

I think this pretty much covers it.
I was one of the few males in the HR department at a job several years ago...
My manager insisted that I be the one to admonish....err....issue corrective action regarding males who were in hot water over claims of harassment.
It's quite puzzling to see how many repeat offenders we had on the same team. Sheer stupidity. How can people be so clueless regarding boundaries??
