[quote=FlyerInHi]I read a little more about sexual harassment.
A hostile environment is created when sexual advances are unwelcomed. The unwelcomeness is the key. And that’s the problem with old men making sexual advances. There is creep and hostile factor.
it is not necessary for the victim of sexual harassment to expressly object to the conduct if a reasonable person would understand the behavior to be offensive and sexual in content.[/quote]
I suppose there is probably a correlative study somewhere that says “Heterosexual woman consistently overestimate men’s interest in taking them out for dinner and talking about their friends from spin class” or similar. There are other factors, naturally. But that one is a real problem.
