It’s Not Up To Women To End Sexual Harassment – By D.C. McAllister 26, 2017
We’re hearing a lot about sexual harassment these days with the demise of media people like Bill O’Reilly and Roger Ailes, but instead of getting caught up in the drama of it all, let’s focus on what the law says and on developing better relationships.
The fundamental problem we’re facing here is the sad fact that too many men still think they can abuse women. They get into positions of power and think they’re free to treat women as sex toys. Thankfully, we live in a society that embraces equality before the law and upholds a woman’s right to her own body, her work, and her dignity. We just need to know how to properly discern the difference between sexual harassment and normal sexual behavior.
Too often women overreact to how men behave in the workplace. This only muddies the waters. They run to extremes and interpret nearly anything a man says as abusive. A man tells a woman, “You have beautiful legs,” and she automatically complains to HR about sexual harassment. The man is left stunned. He just thought her legs looked great and assumed she’d appreciate the compliment. That’s perfectly harmless, and given that most women like to be admired, we don’t want men to stop giving compliments.
Feminists too often fuel this problem because they fail to understand that men are men, women are women, and sexual tension between them is natural. No denial or denigration of basic human nature is going to change that. Women who adore masculinity will applaud it, as will men who love femininity. The dance between the two is beautiful and exciting, not something to fear.
