Sexual Harassment

Women like to be complimented. After showering in the morning, after a night of sleeping over, she would ask "how do I look?" I often say you look great without even having looked at her. She would say "really?" And I would say yes. Guess what? when they ask these question they do even look at you so that is why my yes is always yes even if I did not look. I know she is not looking at me. Anyway my point is women like to be appreciated.

Now, tell me when harassment becomes harassment? Let me tell you a secret, if it is an ugly men whistling at her while passing by that is harassment but! if it is a stylish, trendy and gorgeous metrosexual men oooh! that is compliment. If he is standing next to a BMW 5 series or 280 mercedes compressor ooh gosh! "he has got a taste". If she is in a company of her friends she would say proudly "this man can definitely see his match". Regardless of the fact that this man also whistled to her like an ugly guy three blocks down the road she would have no problem in dating him. The poor ugly guy would be, if charges were laid and enough evidence produced, be languishing in jail.

With the same crime the guy of over-extended beauty will get away with murder. If an ugly guy touches a woman's buttocks she will go over the roof but if the gorgeous rich guy does the same, immediately she realises it was this guy, she would say softly with a smile "do not do that". The next thing she would say "can we go out on weekend?". So it leads me to conclude that harassment depends on who does the actual thing. Harassment is a subjective thing, it depends on person being "harassed"

Wait a minute did I say get away with murder? Yes, but temporarily of course. On harassment, an ugly guy will get less punishment, on the crime he knows of course, considering the extent of the severity of his transgression. On the other hand, the life style emersed gentleman will, if things go sour, be even charged with rape he did not do. Our modern ladies do not mind being abused by rich gorgeous guys if they know prospect of marriage in the future. But if there is no guarantee for the future; things turn ugly so quickly. A poor trendy guy will be accused of many things including multiple rapes and abuse with an intent to do a bodily harm. In laying charges woman insist on civil than criminal charges. She would insist on compensation, against the guy and lot of money in the process will be paid.

I am sorry for this and I really am because there are genuine rape cases but hey rapes that involve politicians, football stars, singers, top DJs and women of poor background need to be looked at differently or scrutinised.

Oh dear, Mphakamisi:

All I can say is that your argument is seriously flawed.
Here’s what I recommend. I strongly urge you to ask women about this issue. That’s the easy part. The challenge will be to actually listen to womens’ responses. I mean really listen. With concentration and a balanced, open-mind.

I wish you good luck. I really do.

Best,
Lesley
