I had a job interview in a university with strongly intersectional ethos. I'd signed my commitment to gender/racial/LGBT equality & so if I'd got the job & intersectionals hadn't left me alone after I told them I did not want to discuss, I'd have complained of hostile environment

Because I believe I have the right to work without being purity tested on my politics or lectured at. Anyway, after initial enthusiasm, I didn't get shortlisted. I have no idea why...

If it's "persistent" to the point where that person isn't getting their own work done, you don't need a sexual harassment policy to deal with it. If you can't get your work done because of what other people are saying to you, you need to grow up and become a professional.

Why do you think the person receiving the unwanted sexual advances needs to ‘grow up and become a professional’ but not the person making the unwanted sexual advances?

Here's the thing. Human beings will never be completely comfortable unless they can completely control every aspect of their surroundings. You have to learn to live with a certain level of discomfort in order to allow others freedom.
-
You're not describing a certain level of discomfort. You're describing persistent, hostile, bullying behaviour, or harassment if it's sexually based.

I agree, though, that for low levels of "banter" etc., yeah, it would be great if people could grow a back bone and, if uncomfortable, just say "stop". But there, the other person should stop. That's kind of the deal in human interactions. *The* social contract. You know?

It's amazing how some people cannot see the difference between harassment and free speech. It's like saying "my religion says it's ok to kill certain people, therefore I am immune to punishment because I have freedom of religion".

I'm wondering, is
@jonathanccast actually saying that though, that a person should have a right to say "I find you attractive", and not have to stop, even when told, at work? If he is, he's wrong, because that's harassment.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

*Words* "impacting" is such a millennial thing to say I can't even. "Impact" means to physically collide with. You're literally saying that your emotional reaction to something is the same as them physically hurting you.
-
You still going with this? Why are you persisting? You are completely wrong here. It is the definition of harassment to continue after you have been asked to quit it.
