10 Things People [Mostly Men] Are Saying To Rationalize Sexual Harassment & Assault
- By

What can we say to women?
Grow up. None of these examples are offensive or an example of sexual harassment or intimidation. The problem is using a compliment as a segue into a sexual conversation. The problem is not being able to have a conversation with a woman without complimenting her physical attributes. The problem is men have been conditioned to think it is ok to say whatever comes to their minds when it concerns women. It’s a real lack of maturity and human decency. Most of the things we think should never leave our minds. If men understood this universal fact and had been trained to view women as more than sexual objects, we would be in a different place in this country right now.
