[QUOTE="Fighting4yourRights, post: 273317, member: 10388"] [COLOR=black]Perhaps the real frustration is that everyone has a different threshold and definition of harassment. What's fine with one person may not be okay with someone else. Knowing this makes it easier to understand why tempers flair when situations are totally taken out of context. Perhaps the best way to respond to the topic of perceived harassment is to try to read your audience. For me, I'm pretty easy going and it would take a lot to sexually harass me. In fact, I have no problem with setting a boundary and saying something bothers me but that's just me. Some people (men and women) don't feel comfortable saying so. But they do have facial expressions. If you tell a slightly dirty joke and the response is a half hearted, fake laugh - back off the topic and handle with care. If the response is a full bellied, let me tell you another even dirtier joke, etc., then green light - go full force ahead.
