Such kind of behavior is not a mere nuisance for women as you are implying. It's much more damaging and discouraging than that.

Dictating what should be acceptable and what should not be is regressive in the real sense of the word.
-
What? We should give up arguing whether things are acceptable or unacceptable? Just accept everything?
-
Who said we should give up arguing? who are you replying to?
-
What does 'Dictating what should be acceptable and what should not be is regressive in the real sense of the word' mean then?
-
Telling a woman that a particular act is frivolous-not an asault;not allowing her to decide if it ws or not. that's what I mean by dictating
-
She has every right to collapse in a heap, withdraw from the world and never function again if a man touches her butt. I'd advise against it
-
From same thing on this. I'll argue against normalising this degree of fragility & inability to cope. I'm sympathetic but urge seeking helppic.twitter.com/3blViCmDya

Wait, am I understanding this correctly? Women who speak up against sexual harrassment are fragile and need help? Wow.

A woman's psyche can be deeply dependent on her sexual inviolateness.. Let her decide that.
-
She has the right to, of course. I won't valorise it. I think women are whole human beings and not confined to their sexuality or 'honour,'
-
Just to prove this point that they are not confined to their honor, should women just tolerate any unwanted sexual assault and tough it up?
-
What if the options aren't 'tolerate any sexual assault' or 'melt into a puddle as soon as you encounter a boorish arsehole?'

Recognition of inappropriate behavior and mature, level-headed response/coping? YOU RAPE APOLOGIST!
-
Yes, exactly. I'm worried by how fragile young women are becoming. Arseholes exist. Some are criminal, some are not. We will survive.
-
This is so reversed! "Tough it up, girls!!!"
-
Should I be saying 'Collapse into a heap and undo all the work of feminists who argued we can cope with the public sphere?'

Victims speaking out about abuse from animals like Harvey Weinstein are brave. But standing up to the internet mid-moral panic is brave too!
