Ross, I agree that sexual harassment can go both ways. Men, of course have a very long history of piggish behavior, whereas, generally women do not. But, as Avi noticed...the times they are a 'changin'.
It is wrong for either gender, I think, I t h i n k, perhaps it's more serious, because, of the physical danger, for a woman to be harassed. I say this cautiously, because, I'm talking about the long history of rape, social control and generally 'weaker people' women have been under those circumstances. I am talking of generalities in history.
But, anytime a persons 'personal space or privacy' is invaded and is unwanted AND was even "warned off" most people won't cross that line.
Ross, let me ask you a question. I know you'll be honest, even if it's uncomfortable. In your travels to countries where it is NOT the norm for men to wear kilts (even for cultural events) like America for instance: Do you see a marked difference in the way you are treated ? By women & men ?
I've always admired a man who had the gumption to wear one in public. I have often wondered if SOME wear theirs as a 'attractant', like a woman wearing low-cut dresses or short skirts. I wonder if this can cause confusion...crossed-signals.
Bearing in mind...for a man or woman..."No!" means, "No!"
