If anyone mentions your gender or sex and starts acting weird because of it and it makes you feel any type of discomfort (even a little bit), it’s sexual harassment. If someone mentions your cleavage, that’s sexual harassment. If someone tells you to wear looser fitting pants because of your bulge (I’ve seen the Reddit story), that’s sexual harassment. If someone SNIFFS YOU AT WORK, that’s sexual harassment. If someone PUTS THEIR SEXUALLY CHARGED PHEROMONES ON YOU, THATS SEXUAL ASSAULT!! If someone KISSES YOU WITHOUT CONSENT, THATS SEXUAL ASSAULT!! These two have been SEXUALLY ASSAULTED! That needs police attention NOT HR.
Please be mindful of what sexual harassment and what sexual assault actually is so we can protect ourselves and others! The list is very extensive because a lot of things are sexual harassment/assault but most people are actually unaware of the more common but less aggressive types of both of those issues and will ignore them (like coercion/not taking no for an answer and comments about how xx gender/sex gets yy benefits for no good reason). Please stay safe.
