	It doesn't have to be the woman's workplace to constitute as sexual harrassment in a workplace. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Sexual harassment. Go look it up.

Especially the "threatening atmosphere" part.

Or the very fact that harassment implies that there was more than one occasion of "harassment".

Still, this is borderline disrespectful for victims or real harassment, who see that their very real, often months- or years-long sufferings, are JUST THE SAME FUCKING THING THAN A STRANGER JOKING ABOUT SEX. It is thanks to such White Knights that anything and everything become "rape", thus effectively negating the sufferings of its victims.

You mean, like sexual abuse victims who have to go around their daily life accepting that anyone anywhere is in fact allowed to comment on their sex life and tell them what it should be like, and they never have a right to be upset by any remark or joke because people don't mean it badly?

Or the very fact that harassment implies that there was more than one occasion of "harassment".

No. A single case of "Sleep with me if you want that job", for example, is enough to qualify as sexual harrassment AFAIK.

Still, this is borderline disrespectful for victims or real harassment, who see that their very real, often months- or years-long sufferings, are JUST THE SAME FUCKING THING THAN A STRANGER JOKING ABOUT SEX.

Because there are never any degrees in anything. Right.

Or that there are more forms of sexual harassment and you keep pigeonholing it into a non applicable case.

This is a man who joked about sex while he was working. Macy's decided to execute a no-tolerance policy given the nature of where he said such jokes.

People felt distressed. The distress was sexual in nature.

Sexual harassment.

And victims of aforementioned would have even less tolerance for these kind of jokes. Even if "HEZ A NICE GUY"
