This applies to anyone, but i've been sexually harrassed quite a few times and i'm just wondering how many of you have experienced it and where?

Euch.
Dunno if that'd really count as harrasment though.
The last place I worked at there was a lot of touchy feely stuff, but everybody took it as good banter, whcih it was. S'pose if I'd objected then it'd have deffo been sexual harrasment.
I like having my bum grabbed by girls in nightclubs though, is it only harrasment if there's objection or what?
I'm not exactly sure what sexually harrassed is defined as.
Otherwise, never really.
i've only ever heard it used to describe repeated episodes of unwanted sexual attention, generally at work.
tends to be generally low-key stuff, like inappropriate comments or arse slapping, but the victim feels trapped cause doing something about it might risk their job, reputation at work, or lead to the harrasser getting a bit more sinister.
Yes i've experienced it. It wasn't pleasant.
i've had plently of male colleagues make what probably are inappropriate comments (in the way that a fair proportion of male colleagues tend to do to anything under 50 with boobs, bless their eager little socks) but i know their intentions are innocent enough, and i didn't feel at all threatened or upset by it. there's a lot of banter along those lines goes on in our office that is meant purely as a joke, but if you told the person they'd upset someone, they'd be mortified.
Sounds fun though...
shes got a bf but shes a nice girl. I like the attention so I keep it up
ive had it done in the day too
and at school a boy in my art class kept groping me and putting rulers down my knickers :grump:
but, i dont feel sexually harassesed....im flattered that random people find my bum attractive and so touch it
although the groping at school was horrible, im not disturbed by it or anything he was just a stupid typical teenage boy that probably did it as a dare or something.
I dont like it when im out and men dance around me and rub their bits against me ewww! not harassment though
or...just too good for them.
Its not normally nice decent people that grope!
Nah, maybe its my permanently angry yet shelookslikeshemightsnapatanymoment look I always have :cool:
it gets fucking annoying as well as depressive
Yeah right, you love it really :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
not when its something that wouldnt look too out of place, stuck on a beach, and being attended to by green peace
Dude, I bet you have nightmares!
every now and again
It depends what you mean though.
This is what happened to me - it only stopped once the boys' parents were spoken to...
