When did the criteria of sexual harassment go from making obvious sexual remarks to anything that makes a woman a tad bit uncomfortable?

Queasy_Chicken_5174 · 2024-03-08T12:51:21+00:00

It was around the same time "believe all women" became popular.

Mode1961 · 2024-03-08T14:52:26+00:00

It's the same all over: It happened when "being a victim' became a way to obtain social power or even lots of money.

Whenever any male behaviour is 'redefined', then you just know that a false accusation spree is in the offing.

RoryTate · 2024-03-08T14:27:45+00:00

There are so many different terms used, from "sexual harassment" to "sexual misconduct" to "sexual impropriety" and more, all to criminalize anything that might make a person "feel unsafe". Though, for some reason, men never get to "feel unsafe" in the eyes of the law, and men are the only ones ever investigated for committing these crimes. Strange how that is.

IvorHarding-117 · 2024-03-08T16:49:52+00:00

it depends on how paranoid is the women . if shes more paranoid then breathing the same air as her is a sexual assault . no one is going to prove her wrong

BurnAfterEating420 · 2024-03-08T17:07:30+00:00

"uncomfortable" isn't even the criteria.

there's women gleefully salivating at the chance to tear down a man just to feel the rush of power from destroying a person's life. That's where all the false accusations come from.

It makes every interaction between the sexes with any interest from the male a case of Schroedinger's sexual harassment.

As if dating dynamics for young gen Z boys and men wasn’t bad now, it’ll get even worse. What is the feminist end goal?

Hubris1998 · 2024-03-08T17:46:10+00:00

their ultimate goal is to turn men into second-class citizens like peasants in mediaeval times

Shreddersaurusrex · 2024-03-08T17:12:01+00:00

This is why I avoid commenting on ppl’s looks, IE “You look nice today.”

ConciousnessEmerging · 2024-03-08T20:53:50+00:00

When women ran out of problems and decided they really always wanted to be victims.

I was given a trespass order and fined for two incidences: asking a girl out, and on a different day with someone else, touching someone's wrist while speaking to them.

My lawyer said "you're lucky they didn't launch a criminal investigation."

ViolentMagician1 · 2024-03-08T18:18:21+00:00

Are feminists trying to prevent literal contact at all from being made between men and women?

Non-chad men and women, yes.

xEyelessOnex · 2024-03-09T02:24:52+00:00

Oh do I love this. I'll add what I shared on YouTube about this very thing.

I've told this story before, but I figured I'd share it again. My time avoiding women came around 2014. Like a lot of the men in this comment section, I was raised to respect women and show chivalry. In my life, the words "sweetheart", "sweetie", "hun" and what not were used frequently. These words flew around my family and even complete strangers and friends of ours. I worked as a prison guard and I would frequently use these same endearing terms everywhere I went. Cut to around September of that year, and I'm called off of my lunch break to the Unit Major's office. It turns out I was accused of sexual harassment by six of these women. Apparently, I offended them by saying such things and even though I wasn't made aware that I offended them, my job and life were on the line. There were talks of taking me to court, forcing me through mandatory counseling (apparently, me being polite made me a sexual deviant) and possibly putting me on the Texas Sex Offender Registry. I was shocked and appalled, and being a 25 year old, that was a huge slap in the face seeing as I'm married and didn't want any other woman. I literally called my wife in tears and told her. When I got home, I had no appetite whatsoever and I barely got two hours of sleep that night.

The next day, I told them that I was about to lawyer up and counter sue them for: Slander, Defamation of Character, Emotional and Mental Anguish and that I was seeking restitution. I also let it be known that I would personally seek out all of the offenders in that unit that were screwed out of parole by these women. They loved to come to work dressed in tight clothing and if an offender made the mistake of looking, they'd write them up for it. Needless to say that their little plan went down in flames after that. Up until the day I left that job, I outright avoided even looking at them. I even made it a point to say that if one of them was on fire and my piss could save them, I'd water the grass first.

Since then, I've become a truck driver and have had only one instance of a woman taking rejection badly. She was a waitress and clearly wanted to flirt. When I refused, she took it badly and gave me the crappiest service I've ever had in a restaurant. She all but threw my check at me when it was time to leave. I paid and tipped her $5.00.

Ladies, realize something. You did this to yourselves. Look in the mirror and you'll see just how messed up you've really made things for yourselves. There are crap men on this planet, but random ones should not have to pay for some other douchebag's mistakes. Gentlemen, realize something. There are still nice ladies out here. However, just be selective because this could make or break you. I learned the hard way as I've stated above. Be blessed everyone.

KPplumbingBob · 2024-03-08T15:17:53+00:00

To pump up the numbers. The issue is that if you apply the same criteria as to what constitutes sexual harassment or even sexual assault to men, you'd end up with some pretty crazy numbers on paper as well. So we just choose to ignore it and not talk about it. Problem solved.

generalgrimm2021 · 2024-03-08T17:21:45+00:00

They always change the definitions, and it is not about cutting ALL contact from ALL men….just the undesirable ones. But they cannot say that because it makes them look bad. They use words like “creep” “sexual harassment” etc, but rarely as the actual defined words are meant to be used, just as buzzwords to shutdown and kick out the undesirable men. What is actually happening is that ALL men can see how they react and decide they do not want anything to do with those “women”, and then they start asking “Where have all the men gone? Why am I not approached anymore?” ☕️

ThatClassyPenguin · 2024-03-08T17:24:44+00:00

I asked someone to help pick up something I dropped on the floor at the office and apparently that’s sexual harassment…. Go figure.

Salamadierha · 2024-03-08T20:03:47+00:00

Of course it happened. Lawyers are greedy and opportunistic gits, who love pushing the boundaries of whatever the rules are. The same can be said of political activists. This was predictable from the moment the concept was invented.

SteelTheUnbreakable · 2024-03-09T08:36:02+00:00

Because women are wired to make decisions based on emotions.

When you put them in charge of creating rules, the rules no longer apply to explicit measurable action, but instead things that make them FEEL the wrong way.

Alarming_Draw · 2024-03-08T15:35:47+00:00

Women sometimes lie about rape to make false claims.

Women sometimes lie about sexual harassment.

Only one of these things (if any) are accepted when counting statistics.

Turbulent_Ad_9727 · 2024-03-08T14:59:24+00:00

I don't really have an answer to this question, but I can remember telling a girl in my class 3 or 4 years ago that the day before a man had taken the seat opposite me in the half-empty subway and stared at me the whole time.

She said that this was a form of sexual harassment. And while it was a weird situation for me, he didn't touch me or try to kiss me or anything like that. Objectively speaking, he just looked in my direction in public.

And I've been sexually harassed before and I can tell that it doesn't just make you feel a bit uncomfortable.

The big problem with this is not only that men feel that they are walking on eggshells around women, but also that sexual harassment of women is no longer taken seriously. Everyone loses.

MeanestNiceLady · 2024-03-10T01:18:58+00:00

At some point in the last 20 years women started thinking of men as inherently predatory and creepy. Started viewing every man as a threat.

Catcalling went from an annoyance to verbal assault.

Compliments on looks were suddenly predatory and implicit sexual.

A man approaching you that you don't find attractive automatically became a perverted creep.

It frames men as evil predators and women as fragile and vulnerable. It reinforced the sexist dynamic that feminism claims to hate

ButWhatOfGlen · 2024-03-08T17:49:39+00:00

About a year ago, maybe three.

remnant_shekels · 2024-03-10T22:15:16+00:00

Yep! So true!

Life_Deal_367 · 2024-03-09T03:34:45+00:00

Matriarchs make the rules that we either have to follow or be thrown straight to jail. I am surprised that men have not blocked the roads and started to protest in front of these courts yet.

imextremelymoderate · 2024-03-09T10:29:26+00:00

Victimhood is a currency for Feminists in which victims are deserving of attention, resources and absolving of responsibility. Therefore the criteria for being a victim of sexual harassment will become more and more loose
