In Oz the legal definition of sexual harassment includes,
- unwelcome touching;
- staring or leering;
- suggestive comments or jokes;
- sexually explicit pictures or posters;
- unwanted invitations to go out on dates;
- requests for sex;
- intrusive questions about a person's private life or body;
- unnecessary familiarity, such as deliberately brushing up against a person;
- insults or taunts based on sex;
- sexually explicit physical contact; and
- sexually explicit emails or SMS text messages
Some seem to based on what the recipient feels rather than the intent. Recently talking to a lass who started tearing when remembering the death of a loved one, touched on her the hand and let it dwell for a moment as an indication of affirmation for her grief, I'm sure there would be feminists who would categorise it as sexual harssment.
unwanted invitations to go out on a date - how is a fella to make that initial contact, how in the world is he going to know its unwanted prior to the lass saying she's not interested
staring - if they are drop dead gorgeous and dress provocatively who's not going to take a look or two
requests for sex - where do I complain, have had one or two
