Is sexual harassment is blown out of proportion?
A Reader Asks This Question:
I think sexual harassment is blown out of proportion these days, what do you think? Just to be clear when i say its blown out of proportion I’m clearly not talking about a man approaching a woman and saying “nice tits” or something graphic because that obviously is harassment. What i am saying is that it seems that even if you try and chat up a girl that that can be considered harassment to some degree, I want to know peoples opinion on this, and if they have experienced this mis handling of a serious accusation?

Yes, sexual harassment is blown out of proportion and used way too much as a scapegoat. I think employers SHOULD investigate every claim, but they need to be realistic about it because someone claiming that they were sexually harassed may blow it all out of proportion. I think the accuser should be warned front and center that if they file a false report without UNDERSTANDING the seriousness of it and what the fuck they’re actually doing, they should be reprimanded if the claim is bullshit. There are far too many petty claims of sexual harassment.
However, management must be properly TRAINED to recognize and deal with it and not go off half-cocked and start firing people. All companies should have mandatory sexual harassment training. We had it where I worked. It was boring as hell, but by the time it was over, we KNEW what was right and wrong.

Yea it’s gotten to a ridiculous point. At my girlfriend’s job, a man had an autographed photo of a female tennis star on his desk. In the photo, a small portion of her naval was showing. Some woman walked by his offce (not inside mind you) and caught a glimpse of the photo and said she was "offended." He was forced to take the photo home.
Stupid…
Yeah, i kno. I mean like, some guy ask a girl out to COFFEE and they believe the girl who accuse him so sexual harassment. I’m like wtf! More like the girl’s guilty of slander.
i & most people i know dont consider trying to chat a girl up & complimenting her on her appearance (in a non sexually derogatory way) as sexual harrassment, but i agree w you that anyone who would consider this to be the case is certainly taking the term "sexual harrassment" wayyyy too far. i also agree that saying something like "nice a$s" or "nice t!ts" is sexual harrassment
I worked in a couple places where if she felt like you sexually harassed her, your out of a job even if the supposed incident happened of company time and of company property. If you take a good look around at your jobs you will see that if the guy is very good looking or if she instantly falls in love with him, then he’s good as gold, but if he’s just some average schmuck the he is screwed for life. It’s gotten to the point where you don’t dare even smile, say "hi" or "good morning", or even talk to her, It’s gotten so bad that you to keep your eyes focused on the floor, ground, sidewalk, and look the opposite direction of her. You tap her on the shoulder "instant harassment". If the guy is with in 10ft of a female and someone else at work see it she can claim harassment, do any "shop talk" with your work mates even during break "sexual harassment". Use a cuss word it’s sexual harassment. 85 percent of these false and frivolous sexual harassment claims have caused major damages to businesses and other corporations, and damaged families.
