Kind of two topics in one here but I was pretty much "harassed" by some women that thought it was cute to constantly hover at my desk and give me boob shots down the front of their dresses. When I was single it was one thing but when I was married I could have done without the temptation, aka harassment. Why do I know this? They told me about it years later at a party.
That is separate from violence in the other article but both sexes wear inappropriate clothing on purpose. The problem is you may run into a psycho that takes it too far.
Yeah funny how that works. I'm a guy, and I had my rear end grabbed by a woman at work when I was bending over to take a drink of water at the water fountain in the hall of my office building. No, I didn't do anything about it, I just laughed it off after she said, "nice ass".
The older I get the more I realize I need to keep some comments I used to get away with when I was younger to myself. Times have changed and hopefully so have I. I was reminded on here a while back that asking a woman to smile irritates some, and although I didn't realize it, that irritates some.
Now I pretty much keep my compliments to my wife. She gets me and I appreciate that now more than ever.
Some women enjoy being complimented on their looks....
I sometimes compliment women, but only once I've established a casual relationship with them...
How I feel about how I look is not anyone's business. And unless we have an established relationship AND it's appropriate my appearance should not be subject to discussion beyond " I like that color," or something equally vague. I work in the same place as my husband, and if he EVER said, " Oooh, you look hot!" in the workplace, I'd kill him.
Why? Because it's easier than taking personal responsibility for one's actions. I still remember when I had to testify against the man who tried to rape and strangle me (after stabbing me) when I was 23. His defense attorney theorized that his client was unable to control himself due to the "skimpy" clothing I was wearing at the time. Which happened to be shorts, covered by a lightweight polyester coat. BTW, it was summer. I guess I should have gone out walking in broad daylight in my overalls and parka.
That's a defense tactic. Lawyers will say and do anything to win their case. Par for the course.
First of all, which is it--sexual harassment or a sex crime? You're conflating the two things.
People aren't blaming women for being victims of sex crimes. But some might be saying that certain types of dress (or undress) might be attracting attention from men who like that sort of attire.
If you decorate a tree, don't be surprised if people think it's a Christmas tree.
Many women dress to attract the attention of men, and when it works some claim that they are being harassed...A man just can't win unless he keeps his mouth shut....
