DONTMATTER wrote: » Think about it, your complaining because a man says he has to be careful when approaching women. A position of fear you say, compare that with the fear of being raped or assaulted that many women have after being attacked!

If you think that’s flirting......

Deary me. Get a grip will ya!
py2006 wrote: » Rape aside, I think a lot of women need to be taught about sexual harassment, inappropriate comments and advances etc. It really isn't on their radar as people like you tell them that only men do it to women. The reality is women often get away with it. Ask any man who has worn a kilt for one example. As I said on here before, myself and other male posters have commented on Boards before about being touched, grabbed pinched inappropriately on nights out. I've had comments made to me in the workplace about my ass, my crotch etc by women that I know full well I would be in a shed load of trouble if I made similar comments about female colleagues genitalia. Its all banter of course but women get away with it.

The workplace comments were just banter and at worse I was embarrassed. But you don't see men huddling together all offended collectively and starting social media movements against women. The only reason that on reflecting it annoys me somewhat is the double standard.
