With sexual harrasment, a women (and a man nowadays) only has to feel offended, rather than take it as a compliment that someone actualy wants them, and it has to be investigated. Unfortunately, the police have now been told that they have to beleive the complainant, rather than investigate to see if there has been a justifiable case. Women who cry rape, are believed, and the perp automatically arrested, then they have to prove their innocense.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 11, states: "Everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defence, so in effect, most people accused of a sexual harrasment, rape, homophobic offence, or anything of that nature, are now having their rights under article 11 trampled on.
What a load of twaddle.
No offense blokes but you sound like you want to go back to the dark ages where it was ok to goose a woman, or leer and invade her personal space? Or keep asking her out until you get the answer you want? You are feeling worried now that women may get upset? There is a line, if blokes are worried then
simply do not cross it. If a woman says no to a date that's the end of it. No sane women is offended by being asked on a date. However, if you keep harassing, asking, leering, flirting after a 'no' then you are very much the problem in this situation, not the woman's reaction.
rather than take it as a compliment that someone actualy wants them
Claptrap. Unless the blokes cannot take no for an answer and keep asking.
Women have for years put up with absolute crap from men, some still do around the world, so I for one and proud that things that were harassment are becoming unacceptable. In my late teens and early 20's, and not including the rubbish I encountered by the hands of men in the pub, I myself have been pinned up against a wall at work with the blokes hand where it shouldn't be, I have had another bloke, my boss, make non-stop leery comments and his hands all over me
FOR A YEAR. It wore me down, I dreaded work. When I complained higher up on both instances, the blokes were genuinely offended and upset that I found their attention unwanted, despite me previously quietly asking them to stop. I asked them to stop, they didn't. It's about time blokes learned that 'no', or 'stop' means exactly that - anything else is harassment, not women being hysterical.
And Doggit, please. Women have notoriously not reported rape for years, instead the perps getting away with it and pretty much never reported sexual harassment because nobody would believe them or blame the women for what happened - their skirt is too short, they drunk too much, they walked home alone at night etc.
Still today rape it is a woefully unreported crime and results in fewer convictions than many other criminal acts. Attitudes towards women have been awful for hundreds of years. Stop talking as if women are precious, hysterical creatures who are easily offended. No, women have just had enough of the **** - learn the difference and learn how times are changing, sadly too slowly.
