The moral of the story is that anytime a man propositions a woman, and she does not find that man attractive, it is considered sexual harassment. But, if she thinks he's cute, it's all good.
Gawd, I'm so glad society wasn't like this back in the day. Because, had it been, my parents would've never have gotten together. My moms did not like my dad at all when he approached her. She curbed him more than a few times. But, he kept at it, everytime he saw her, until she agreed to go out with him one time. And if she didn't like him after that, he'd leave her alone. Fast forward almost two decades and they were happily married till the day he died.
If my dad had done that in today's climate ... he'd be labeled a predator or worse.
Not really trying to compare Weinstein to my dad. But, the whole subjectiveness of how society is approaching these situations rubs me the wrong way. There has to be a better way of handling things that doesn't start from the point of view that attention from an ugly guy is tantamount to rape or similar emotional trauma.
I think the line should be drawn at unwanted touching or the withholding of employment, income or other opportunities because someone doesn't want to sleep with whoever is propositioning him or her. Anything less than that shouldn't be something that ends your career or worse.
