Aaron, I hope that you don't really believe this. In a situation like this one described by Malek, the girl actually has a lot of rights to complain and call the cops and all that great wonderful stuff. It's SEXUAL HARASSMENT, there are a lot of laws about it (and not only in Canada). You wouldn't want that said to your mother either and I'm sure you would bring it to the authorities. Freedom of speech is one of those really hard things to define. You don't have the right to spread lies about people (defamation of character) and you don't have the right to sexually harass women either. But technically you should be able to since you have the right of free speech. I would like to see this angle being used in a sexual harassment trial. |
I don't know about that, Margs. "Harassment" by definition refers to repetitive behaviour, and sexual harassment is persistent sexual advances. You think someone would have a case with just that one comment? I sincerely hope not!
How has the guy in question honestly done any damage to the woman? If she slaps him and he quietly walks away, where's the problem? Now, if he followed up that gesture by grabbing her boobs, then yes, she'd definitely have a case, because that's violating her. Or if she slapped him and he tried to sue her for assault, he'd probably be booted out of court.
I'd also move to say that if a woman said something along those lines to a man, the man wouldn't have much of a case no matter how persistent she was with it. Why? Because apparently a man would like it, whereas a woman would just be offended.
It's the double-standard that bothers me.
