At the job I work at, I get sexually harassed all the time.
It definitely isn't because of what Im wearing because i guarantee you my work uniform isn't sexy at all (Its essentially an oversized t shirt and grey pants).
I get sexually harassed by men and women, from ages 13 - 50.
I actually enjoy it because it gives me an ego boost and means I am good looking.
People who complain about getting sexually harassed need to get over themselves. I
As long as all they do is talk without touching you, it isn't a big deal.
If you're good looking, you're going to be harassed. Would you rather be ugly to the point where no one wants to even look at you, let alone harass you?
"Provocative" clothing shouldn't even be an issue. It's only one because society keeps telling girls to cover them selves and make excuses for males. Then blame the victim, if I want to wear clothes that are revealing because I like the style then I should without being harassed or being afraid of being raped or molested.
Wrong you can't argue against nature and Biology men are visual and less clothing or more revealing clothing the more guys will take notice
@Brah63926 So "nature" and 'biology' gives a man the right to sexually harass women/girls? ... really
Wear clothes to show off ass, legs and breast.

Complains about men looking at her and giving her compliments.

Haha! Salty women are salty!
This is a dicey one, because sexual harassment is based solely on whether or not the girl likes/wants it. So while it is mostly the mentality, it is also the vibes a girl gives off, the environment they are both in and a number of other things. Not all catcalling is identical. Not all touching from a stranger is identical.
There should be a game called "Sexy or Sexual Harassment?". Just going through video clips of different male female interactions and the crowd answers for each scenario.
I reckon it depends on the definition of sexual harassment to you (Not to be presumptuous) But assuming it's the literal and accurate definition, both, the guy is (likely) on an extremely low or extremely high ego trip, either feeling empowered or powerless. A display of provocation or signs of weakness entice those already sick with the desire, yes, but it starts at the root of the human being.
I think the reason is psychological, but I find it unconscionable to term it "The mentality of men." It seems to not only stereotype, but degrade, and it is not much of a stretch to associate that with "consent classes," which are horrible institutions that teach nothing but self-hatred and shame.
Sure provocative clothing may catch guys attention but it doesn't matter. People get catcalled no matter what they're wearing. Whether it's a bikini or a potato sack. Don't forget that women also catcall guys too... it's not just guys who do it.
It is the result of some specific individuals that are not able to control their impulses and WRONGLY perceive the partial exposition of girls as an invitation to fulfill their urges. A disfunction in their ability to behave themselves like most of us other males who no... Are not all potential rapists. I love women, and even nudity, i'd never consider them like a sex object and I would never hurt them like that.
The mentality of people. It's fucking disgusting. I can be covered up but because I'm curvy everything is still noticeable. I get called out in a sweater and jeans and it's my fault? 🙄 People just have no respect and no desire to realize why their actions are wrong.
Women dress like that for various reasons such as to attract alpha males for sex, to be on lookout for simps to use for freebies and to get attention whore from the beta male orbiters for validation, to inflate their ego and for self assurance.
Have no pity for these western women. Us mgtow men understand female psychology very well, reason why they despise the mgtow philosophy 😆
to attention whore from the beta*
Surprisingly, I've never found how much I was wearing to have much effect. I've been harassed when I had only my eyes showing.
Spartan women wore only mini skirts and very revealing tops and there were practically no rapes recorded bc it was a know fact the if you were found guilty the women was allowed to cut your dick off so I think it's mentality today's men think they can get away with it so they do it
I would say it would have to primarily be the mentality of men, feeling they are entitled to verbally and overtly express an opinion or demean, intimidate or objectify a woman... The reason I would come to this conclusion is that not all men would catcall a woman if she walked down the street.
It's biased to say only men do this stuff. I've been cat called, ogled and groped by women even without dressing provocative. It all has to do with the individual not the sex.
It's not the mentality of men, it's the mentality of douchebags. Only douchebags cat call women and sexually harass them like that. Regular guys don't care. They notice it's an attractive girl dressed revealing or professionally but they won't just shout stupid at her or harass her. The guys that do that are douchebags.
It doesn't take much for a lot of guys to start thinking dirty the minute they see a little skin in exposed areas such as legs, cleavage, or lower back. Women don't intend to go out and cause sexual harassment because of their clothing. There's just a lot of guys who think it's ok to behave in such a way that's considered harassment. Think about trump's statement about "grabbing her by the pussy". His statement about "killing a person and still getting away with it".
It's nothing to do with clothing it's to do with guys checking girls out. Some chicks are flatteted to be cat called others are intimidated and some women have a victim complex. It's not black and white.
https://youtu.be/E7iXpTJk15sPlease define sexual harrassment before i answer. (Basically my rule for deciding sexual harassment is "If a hot celebrity said this to you/me/whoever would the receiver of the statement still be offended?" I say this because the answer is usually no and its more just that you want to feel better about yourself and get offended by unattractive people complimenting you (not you specifically people in general)
Making unsolicited/unwanted sexual advances. Such as sexual comments made toward them, or touching someone sexually. For instance, a random person on the street yelling "hey sexy" or "nice ass" at a passing stranger.
@cipher42 Just for future reference here is the definition of harassment "the act of systematic and/or continued unwanted and annoying actions of one party or a group, including threats and demands." So while its pretty fucking stupid to shout stuff at people thats not really harassment in any form. (touching sexually could be a legitimate gripe depending on the situation)
You got that definition from the legal dictionary, yes? Did you fail to notice that the first definition below that introductory paragraph is " the offence in England of using threatening or abusive or insulting words within the hearing or sight of a person likely to be harassed thereby: Public Order Act 1986"?
Also, are you aware that sexual harassment is in fact distinct from general harassment? According to the same source you used for your definition, sexual harassment is: "Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that tends to create a hostile or offensive work environment."
Now, it is worth noting that this definition pertains specifically to harassment in the workplace, but that's because that's the legally actionable form of harassment. That's not what is being discussed here. What we're talking about here is sexual harassment in the everyday sense, which is essentially the same as the kind defined above, but without the specific context of being in the workplace.
Define sexual harassment. To be honest, I get cat called even if I cover up everything, a. k. a. it is a mentality of some guys. Though if you act all seductive and wear revealing clothes, then yes you can expect certain guys to jump your bones.
I believe that it goes down to one's upbringing actually. I'll give my brother as an example. We raised him as a gentleman and for that, even if he sees women in rather... less clothing, he doesn't bat an eyelash. In this generation, anyone should be able to wear what they want but a good attitude will never go out of style.
The mentality for sure. It's crazy to me how some people feel it is a legitimate excuse that guys "cant control" themselves. They're not animals and we need to stop giving them that excuse and put them to a higher standard and then hopefully they will too.
