Well, know you are getting into rape. Do I feel it's ok for a guy to give a girl a nice compliment every once in a while, yes. I would think that would make the girl flattered if anything. But if it continues and the girl makes it clear that she wants it to stop, then it should stop. Anything further from that point on would be harrassment.

*How come nobody wants to talk about a guy being sexually harassed, .

Rape is one of the outcomes of sexual harassment. It shows that no matter what the situation is, any form of sexual harassment should be stopped before it turns into something else.

As far as a guy getting raped, that happens as well. Girls just happen to be more of the case. One in Four girls has been raped, as opposed to one in ten guys. Which is why when speaking of matters such as these, girls are the ones who are reffered to more.

The flirting is only a natural thing for humans. We cannot resist it. It's human instinct. But as you said deo, once a girl [or guy] makes it clear that he or she feels uncomfortable with it, it should be stopped. If it isn't, it should be reported. And that is where the false accusations come in. When a person has been sexually harassed or bothered in any way, and they choose to report it, but it doesn't get solved or the victim loses the "case"... they get angry. So once the predator stops doing what he or she was doing in the first place, the victim tries to make their life a living hell and report anything or everything that they do as "sexual harassment". Accusations like those can break a person. It isn't right.

Another point here people is that sexual harasment has and is being used as a weapon in workplace disputes. And the fact that some people joke around about sexual harassment takes away from it's seriousness. There are so many times that incedences are made up or exagerated that we don't take it as seriously as we should. This thread for instance why should we feel the need to debate about protecting ourselves and others at work?

Plain and simple harassment (sex or not) in the workplace is a terrible thing and we must all work together to eliminate it.

I agree. I could get to work and just look at a co-worker, and be charged with sexual harassment. IN FACT, one of my former co-workers got fired for sexual harassment because when some lady customer was flirting with him, he refused to play her little "games" and she got uber pissed. She filed a complaint the very next day! My friend got fired because he wanted to do his damn job!

WTF kind of sense does that make? You avoid the flirting, and get accused of sexual harrassment? I'd rather not have a job at all sometimes.

well i do agree now days the slighest thing is sexual harassment

and of course there are always the woman who dress in the tiniest skirts , and smallest tops posible

and then get mad and irritated by men who look at her boobs and ass
and yes sometimes even this is being used as sexual harassment
though the guy hasnt even touched her yet
and its getting worse

few years ago spanking a womans ass as she walks by was i case in doubt
( dont ask me why people wanna do that cause i honestly dont know )
while as 10 years ago nobody would look up or down when it happend in a company
but today when it happens you'll get sued so fast and the case will be over so fast that the woman will drive her bosses brand new bmw to her home
by the end of the day ( yes i love scrubs , for people who reconize it and wanna flame about it )

I was actually sexually harassed twice before I turned 16, and its very much a big deal. It can make you feel self-conscious and constantly on your guard. I speak from personal experience, sexual harassment isn't something thats to be considered just ... something.

It completely changed who I am, and made me very bitter towards people.

Sexual Harrasment is a queer subject. It should be taken seriously, but thanks to people who abuse it to get rich easily, just saying something jokingly with no crudeness at all is liable to get you a Lawsuit. There really is very little in the way of making such cases as fair as possible as those Bloody 'Rights Activists' just blow everything out of proportion and automatically take the side of the 'Victim'. Soon, Workplaces will become similar to Victorian schools where Males and Females will become segragated in fear of looking at someone the wrong way.

Now I'm not saying that Sexual Harrasment dosn't exist (far from it as I've got freind whos been subject to it) as in most cases, "theres no smoke without fire", but yet again, 'Rights Activists' have taken this way to far and it's now become nothing, but several shades of grey.

As for Sexual Harrasment against Men, they seem to have too much pride to say anything.

Okay, after reading most of your replies I feel as though you are all gearing towards the "sexual harassment isn't all of that big of a deal" type thing. Yes, you guys agree that sexual harassment should be taken care of, but I feel as though you don't understand the importance of the matter.

Sexual harassment, if not taken care of, or if not taken serious, may turn into horrible, un ethical things such as rape, death, tormenting, etc. Yes, there are those gold diggers who use sexual harassment as only an image to get the money that they want, but in most cases it actually is sexual harassment.

Equinn, I totally understand what you are saying about the online. Sexual Harassment can actually take place online, as well as. It is a form of sexual harrasment. People can send you unwanted emails that have vulgar images or descriptions of what they'd like to do to you and whatnot. Or they could always try to "cyber" with you. Whatever the case, it is becoming common almost everywhere. I have experienced sexual harassment online as well, so please do not feel as though what you are saying is totally weird, because it isn't.

Also, Kat what you said about "guys feeling up on a woman's [or man's] leg, and saying that he wants to do something to another person" IS a serious matter. It is sexual harassment if the girl is uncomfortable with it.
