The fact that they are comfortable 'on the streets' shouldn't transfer to 'this is my house'. What about respecting people's personal boundaries? Some of them were not just saying 'hello'. It's about some men having the attitude: ' We don't want to hear about how you feel about the way we...

In all my years in the workforce I have never come across an employer who was set on having only one gender working for him/her. Yes, sometimes the person who, on the face of it seems like the best candidate, doesn't get the job. But it is for the employer to decide what attributes/skill set...

Entitlement: Some years ago Michael Kimmel, distinguished professor of sociology at Stony Brook University went on Oprah and appeared opposite four angry white men who believed they had been discriminated against in the workplace by affirmative action programs initiated by feminist women...

That's it in a nutshell.

Yes, and I agree. I have taught my daughters not to wear clothing that's too 'sexy'. Although they should be able to wear what they want, the reality is that there are too many yucky men who have thoughts of things other than romance. But really, why shouldn't they be able to wear as much...

It's not the 'hello' that is harassment; it's the 'how'ya going babe?', the 'give me your number', 'am I too ugly for you?', 'smile baby'. I doubt that Brad Pitt would say any of those things, but if he did, yes, it would still be harassment (even if you could laugh about with your friends...

No, it's about my choice. I choose to whom I speak and whom I allow to touch me. Simple really. We women grow up knowing that we have limitations; that we will often come second; that we're not that strong; we are used to being told no. Unfortunately, some men feel entitled; they are used to...

It's very different when you're on the receiving end of this treatment and the physical strength isn't matched. You felt fine because you could defend yourself. Most women cannot defend themselves physically from a man who decides to give her a belt if he doesn't like her response to his...

Interesting that some posters expect her to 'smile' and 'say hello back'. How dare she not smile sweetly and be appreciative of their ogling and call outs! Who does she think she is! She needs to be taught a lesson.
