You are an assholeSexual harassment - or behavior that a "victim" might believe is sexual harassment - is ubiquitous.
"In that outfit, you look good enough to eat!"
Is that sexual harassment? Would many women feel flattered by the remark? Would that depend on who is making it?
I have known many women at work (when I worked) who assumed that certain "slights" were because they were a woman, when the fact was the slights were because of their job performance, competence, or attitude, and had nothing to do with gender.
But let's be honest, how many women today are in positions of power and authority that they have no business being in, just because "Management" wanted to elevate a woman? Chiefs of Police? Heads of departments? They are all over the place.
There are different levels of sexual harassment....

And then the excuses fly that hey , i need a paycheck to pay my bills and feed the kids and make rent . Which really means , hey i put up with the harassment for the money . And then SOME of the women want to be treated as brave responsible ADULT people when what they really want is the MONEY and to be treated as SPECIAL protected people RWinger .
