Actually the question is did you feel harassed or pressured into doing something you didn't want to do, or feel that it created a hostile working environment in which you were being sexually bullied. Power dynamics doesn't have to come into it. You can be sexually harassed as a boss, by your employees (in theory) and because you're dependent on their performance you accept it, or give into it.

I've got a mate who did that to the news of the world,he lived with some bird off of star trek..dunno who she was a greek bird(next generation i think).
They were together before she made it big,she wanted to go to the states to try and make it..he didnt want to go....so she f***ed off over there(he moved another bird in that week).
Anyway after about a month,she rang him and said she had one more audition and if it didnt go well she would come home.
He was thinking f***,I've already moved another bird in what am I goona do.
Well she got the part and it was the star trek gig,she rings him tells him the good news and begs him to come out there and live with her.
Well pete being pete,thinks why not shes gonna be worth bucket loads,so he boots the new one into touch and off he trots..3 months later he can't hack it out there so comes back,shes devastated but he comes back and picks up his life here.
Well one of his mates tells all this to a friendly journo he knows....so in the end he sells his story to the news of the screws and gets 20k out of it...and thats a good few years ago.
He rang her first and said could he,and she said yeah she dont care...good girl.
Cant for the life of me remember her name.

always a Norwood boy, where ever I live.

Twenty years ago I was once stuck in a lift for a couple of minutes with Sir David Owen....no sexual harassment, just awkward silence.

I had the impression that he didn't have much time for us lower classes....which is odd considering his early politics.......though some might say that his hairstyle of that time constituted sexual harassment.

They offered me a pint and a pack of chocolate fingers for my tale of Katrina from Daisy Chainsaw... Which is ironically, what how I got talking to her and what she got.

Why should women - as a gender - be less believable than men - as a gender?

We are seeing this played out right now with the nomination of Roy Moore as the Republican candidate for the US Senate from Alabama. A very credible and well sourced article by the Washington Post accuses him of feeding alcohol to and then molesting a 14-year old girl. I say credible and well sourced because the accusation is supported by up to 30 independent sources who confirmed as much of the accusation as can be confirmed without actually having been in the room.

And yet the deflection of the question as to whether Roy Moore ought to step down as a candidate for high national office is "well, if he did it, then he should step down." Really? IF?

This is not a question of putting him in jail; the statute of limitations has long expired on these crimes, so the "if" of it will never be proven in a court of law. But we are not talking about Moore's liberty here, we're talking about whether he should be a US Senator. It's a character question, and his character is certainly questionable as a result of this credible accusation.

The bottom line is, though, that up to 30 women have either made or corroborated this core accusation against Moore. But they're all lying, right? That one man - the one man in the crosshairs - is the only one telling the truth, right? Just how all the women who accused Weinstein, Cosby, Louis CK, Clinton and Trump were lying, right?

But, Kevin Spacey was accused by men. Boom! Instant belief, no questions about it.

If you don't see this pattern and don't see how it's part of the mechanism that allows this to happen, then you're part of the problem.

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

As i said in my post, i didn't feel over powered - i can break that down for you - emotionally, professionally or physically. And that is my point - the moment you have no control, that to me is the deciding factor.

A girl walks in to my cabin and jumps on me - i say no! what's the likely hood she walks out and says it was the other way round and i get the trouble?

And for you to tell me, from my own experiences what constitutes sexual harassment - shame on you. I got unwanted sexual attention - harassment - by your definition, anyone can go kiss someone in the street.

Now, don't get confused for one moment and think that i see myself as a victim - i don't. But i am highlighting how the exact same situation, for someone else, male or female, could lead to them feeling sexually harassed and i feel i am highlighting, in my opinion, the differences between the sexes.

As someone said, what if she were susan boyle and had my job on the line - well, i will give you an example, an older man was my boss, he was married, but a closeted homosexual. He would hire young males and try his luck, it was an open secret. he tried it on with me, paid me more, gave me extra shifts, pinched my bum and flirted - i still felt in control and said no every time and laughed it off - i laughed as he was the mug paying me over time for no reason.

Anyways, point is... this whole saga has gotten out of hand in the media.

This was once a quality forum....
