Several years ago I held a door open for a couple a man and a woman.The man got mad at me and said something about not needing a door open for him.Another male patron witnessed this and started arguing with the man after a few words they got into a fist fight.I split before any cops arrived who knows what they might have tried to charge me with.Who knows what the others might have tried to sue me for.
The way I see it it is only sexual harassment(or harassment of any form) when the "victim" does like the person making the proposition.
An old school friend of mine is a pipe layer up in Maryland his company gets many jobs at the U.S. Naval academy in Annapolis. He told me one day they where on a break and a female cadet walked past so one of the workers simply said "good afternoon" to her and she responded in kind and kept walking.A few minutes later two military police came up asking why the workers where harassing cadets.My friend explained that the only thing any of his workers had said to anyone all day was a neutral greeting.The cops explained that a female cadet had complained about being sexually harassed.My friend asked them if saying "good afternoon" to someone constitute sexual harassment they said that it did not then proceeded to warn them not to talk to any cadets.
