Sexual Harrassment Q&A

When I was thinking about the sexual harrassment cases that I know of in my life... I suddenly thought of this...

To those useless and ball-less male there, if you're so pathetic as to need to sexual harrass your female colleagues, choose the right victims!!! otherwise, serve you right, to get kicked out from the company...
duh!!!... so, am I speaking for the idiotic male?? not really... but then... I always think that, what goes around, comes around...
and to these pathetic guys... if you're so pathetic, then, please don't do more pathetic things like sexually harrassing somebody in your workplace... to make yourself even more hopelessly pathetic!!!!
mm... I won't say those female 'invite' those harrassment themselves... (please make it clear that, I am talking about harrassment, not rape!!! rape is a severe case, all those males, should be cut-off 'there', and hanged)

I was thinking about this...

What if...
the person who harrasses you, is the prince charming in the company, is the handsome guy you've always dreamed of dating? @_@??
what if??
A person who looks like Leon Lai, or Andy Lau, or Christian Bale, or Kimura Takuya, (or whoever handsome celebrities that you can think of) send sms to you everyday, saying "I miss you so much", "I can't sleep without seeing you", "I keep thinking about you, even in my dream", etc.
A person who looks like James Spader, or Tom Cruise, or Tony Leung Chiu Wai, or Josh Harnett, (or whoever handsome celebrities that you can think of comes close to you in the lift, and talks to you flirtateously...
and what if,
it's your handsome boss... who have you some verbal 'harrassment', then you may misinterprete it as an opportunity to have a relationship with the upper management personnel???

Err... will you still file a sexual harrassment compliant??
[frankly, to me, probably I'll faint, due to over-exitement, as it's TOO good to be true]

When I was Boston Legal, Alan Shore(James Spader) and Denny Crane(William Shartner) have been sexually harrassing their female colleagues, all the time... that's why, Boston Legal is a 10:30pm show, it cannot take up the prime time... ^_^
I remember one of the episode, where Alan's ex-girlfriend Tara (Rhona Mitra) has always been kinda 'harrassed' by any male that she met, cos, she's just too attractive and sexy... and there's once, Lori (Monica Potter) asked her, "won't you find that as sexual harrassment?" she said "no, I am used to how male behaves like this in front of me..." (indicating that, she knows very well, herself being sexy and attractive, ie. she's that sex appeal)

When I see House, Dr.Gregory House(Hugh Laurie) loves to harrass Cuddy as well... he always talks about her boobs... and I can see that, Cuddy somehow likes him (in the platonic sense) so, she didn't have any 'reaction' about him talking about her boobs...

And when I saw the last season of '24', one of the girl who just came to help in CTU(Counter Terrorism Unit)... told Chloe about her past record with one of the guy, Miles, at that time helped to run CTU... that she's filed a sexual harrassment to the superior, about Miles... and of course, Miles never admit that, and told everybody that this particular girl is sick...

Then, on one occassion, while discussing over the tactical, Bill (another person who helps in taking charge of CTU) put his hand over Chloe shoulder before he left the table, this girl told Chloe this, "do you see the hand? it's not right??"
^_^

And I thought the definition of sexual harrassment, is pretty subjective, especially when such act hasn't come into a physical act yet (but of course, when it really comes to be a physical ones, then it'll be too late, isn't it?)

Sexual harassment can occur in a variety of circumstances:

* The harasser can be anyone, such as a supervisor, a client, a co-worker, a teacher or professor, a student, a friend, or a stranger.

* The victim does not have to be the person directly harassed but can be anyone who finds the behavior offensive and is affected by it.

* While adverse effects on the victim are common, this does not have to be the case for the behavior to be unlawful.

* The victim can be male or female. The harasser can be male or female.

* The harasser does not have to be of the opposite sex.

* The harasser may be completely unaware that his or her behavior is offensive or constitutes sexual harassment or may be completely unaware that his or her actions could be unlawful.

However... back to my initial question...
What if..........................??

From what I can see is that, the 3 cases that I mentioned in my previous entry, none of the guy has that 'celebrity' type of outlook..
but then, one will say, if they look like Tom Cruise then, they don't have to do all these funny things...
Well... who knows... there're tonnes of criminals out there, who look very good and look like professionals...
and maybe really... people who look like Tom Cruise have already got away with it, and that nobody will file a complain and that... we wouldn't know right??

See!! the world IS very prejudicial!! and LOOK does matter!!!
