How is this sexual harassment? “Continued to ask someone for dates, drinks or dinner even though he or she said no?”

Please tell me this is sarcasm.

It’s not. Now please tell me how it’s sexual harassment.
-
You won't take 'no' for an answer and continue asking her for dates, drinks, etc. She told you 'no' and the normal behavior would be to stop asking. Continuing is harassment. The question is how can you not see that?
-
I think you’re confusing “sexual harassment” with “harassment”. The glaring distinction being that one involves sexual behaviors and the other does not. How can you not see that?
-
"Sexual harassment" is often defined as including unwanted sexual advances. Repeatedly asking for dates even after she says 'no' would fall into this category. Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's not true.
-
How could you possibly interpret it that way? You’re insulting any person who has actually experienced sexual harassment by saying this qualifies. Just because you are incapable of comprehending the definition of sexual harassment doesn’t mean you can make up your own.

I just stay quiet and never be alone with female co workers. No office dating or flirtation either.
-
Not being alone with women is not the issue. I mean, unless you don’t trust yourself enough to not sexually harass women when you’re alone with them?
-
Or a woman can lie!!!!

This was advised by our sexual harassment trainer at work.

A female attorney. Do I think it’s extreme? Yes. A see a situation now where women will lose out on a lot of mentoring possibilities from men in various industries.
-
That is extreme. And you are correct - women are who suffer in these situations because men can’t handle being appropriate when they’re alone with them.
-
In this situation I feel women were making it harder for other women not just men.
-
Maybe consider that women feel backed into a corner and are trying to find the best possible solutions because men obviously haven’t. It’s not always going to be the right solution but they’re obviously trying to protect women and/or protect the reputation of their company.

I LOVE the responses in this thread. "But but but...what about how women act?" Jesus Christ on crutches, you guys can't even handle being looked at in a negative light in a poll. You'd never make it as a woman in an office with the level of harassment that goes on.

It makes me not want to make any jokes because something offensive is so subjective. There isn't a standardized tolerance level to an offensive comment nor is it possible to create one.
-
With that said, I'd say yes to the first 2 questions and no to the rest. Also, I've been on the other end of the other questions by women a lot especially around the holiday season. Not all but some of the questions.
