People making light of alleged sexual harassment because Mariah Carey is the alleged perpetrator. Not a man.

Comments like "I wish I could've been so traumatised" really bother me. Should this have been Harvey Weinstein dressing in see through clothes and making a young woman work around him like that, it would be well and truly being called sexual harassment. But because she's a good looking woman, it's fine and he should feel lucky.

I'm not trying to conflate this with Weinstein's accusations etc. Just thought the double standard was quite annoying and sad to see.

I predicted this would be the response in my earlier post. Unsurprisingly, it's only when a woman is accused by a man that people start 'rolling their eyes' at baseless accusations

Things like this are why I believe it's not that men are much more likely to sexually harass nor that men are much less likely to be bothered by sexual harassment by women. It's just that when women do harass men and when men do complain about it, people just go "stop whining, fag; any guy would enjoy that" and the case is dismissed. Naturally, that discourages men who have been sexually harassed by women to report it

Whether Weinstein or Mariah wore see through stuff in front of someone doesn’t arise to my personal level of harassment. Mariah didn’t block him in, touch him, etc.

She was being an asshole and making things unnecessarily awkward and uncomfortable however.

I can't see "Wearing see through negligee" as being any kind of sexual assault. As far as I can that kind of thing is her normal attire. She regularly puts it all on display. However, we can apply the illustrating absurdity by being absurd rule here, if it looks absurd when men do it, it's absurd when women do it.

Dude wearing sexy clothes to coerce you to get turned on is like talking dirty to get a woman turned on. People don't consent to sex before getting turned on. something has to happen to turn you on either visually verbally or physically. Coersion is what we all do when we want to get something. That's not harassment. Stop reacting like feminists.

I confess I don't know anything about this mariage Carey issue and I am going by this screenshot alone so yeah..

I do not think this should be lumped together with assault and rape. Nor should it be if a man does it. But remember, this is basically half of what Weinstein did. It is wrong and is a lesser kind of harassment. Should be treated as such.
