Morgan Freeman accused of sexual harassment

Wow. Finally. Something resembling some sort of actual discussion as opposed to troll posts. Thank you so much.


Anyway. That is not what I'm talking about.

In both cases I describe, there is supposed to be a sexual motive from the person performing the touching. You have decided to turn one case into a innocent attention grabbing action.

I'm talking about 2 people. One who grabs someone's arse and one who grabs a foot, both for sexually motivated reasons. Should it be considered abuse to touch a foot if it's sexual, or should it be considered abuse to touch a foot anytime, because it could be sexually motivated? (these are actual questions btw)

What if one day "tapping someone on their person somewhere" starts to get deemed a sexual thing? I'm sure there are people out there who would see any touching anywhere as a sexual thing, the sort of people who've never had a girl friend maybe.

Because bum, boob and groin are generally accepted as sexual for pretty much all people, feet not so much.

It's so simple, would you be happy with a stranger touching your gf/wife/mother/daughter in said area? No, then you probably shouldn't touch those areas either.
 
Come on chaps, let's keep this mature.

This ^ I don't see how anyone can disagree with this.

How the hell do you expect anyone to take you seriously when all your posts are hypothetical rubbish? You may as well start with "once upon a time" for all we care. It's not even just this one, it's literally every single discussion which is unfortunate enough to be subjected to your drivel. I genuinely think you have no idea how to interact with others based on your posts because everything is always "what if". It's tedious, boring, and anything which isn't pandering to your ridiculous nonsense is labelled as trolling so attempting to have an intelligent conversation with you is pointless before it's even begun.

So you say that anything resembling a hypothesis or hypothetical situation must never be taken seriously? That's your logic? OK fair enough thanks for that.

You also say I have no idea how to interact with people simply because I ask "what if" questions. That's also your logic? OK. That's also fair enough and thanks for explaining.

And then me calling your nonsense gifs and one liner nonsense posts as "trolling" means the intelligent convo you wanted to have is over before it began? That's also fair enough and thanks for the explanation.

Thanks very much for the top notch explanation.

???

He's not trolling lol. He's giving a rather comedic example of a hypothetical what if question. Which was explained 2 posts up.


I'm convinced you suffer from some sort of short memory span issues or something.
 
In fact you going on about people giving special favours wink wink is more trolling. Man. No wonder you get away with it constantly.
 
Chaps, any more bickering and thread bans get dealt out. Stick each other on ignore. No more on the matter in this thread.

Man if you're not here to discuss or even post some actual opinion or answer some basic on-topic questions in my post then why even bother posting nonsense?

Trolls seems to be allowed to troll relentlessly here. It's so tedious.

Krooton gave you a decent response and you've responded to the 'trolls' instead.

Depends what you mean by touch though doesn't it?

If you mean touch their arm while flirting, then no, no-one thinks that's abuse.

If you mean grab them by the *****, then yes, amazingly some people still think that's not abuse.

Touching on the knee is touching inappropriately according to some lol

So is tapping someone on the shoulder or the arm in order to get their attention, or at least it is according to the soppy **** who came and gave a very patronising talk at my previous place of work.

I can remember a few years ago a chap was sitting on the bars at the works cafe that you slide trays down. Obviously not designed for so much weight and he was asked to get off. He ignored the staff so I tapped his leg near his knee as he was leaning back so only bit i could touch without being untoward. I politely asked him to listen to the staff and get off.
He went completely off on one in an Indian language I didn't understand.
He did not like it when I asked him to repeat that in English or we can get a translator for his disciplary.
Treat others how you want to be treated.
 
It's all relative, and circumstantial.

Someone you know can touch you on your shoulder, but a work colleague who you don't really know does it and it's entirely different, particularly if it's of the opposite sex and if it's a 'stroke' rather than a tap etc.

As for touching on the knee???? Lol you what m8? If you're sat there and someone jistpits their hand on your knee it's nothing other than inappropriate.

I've had it in work before where I've come exceedingly close to making an official complaint, what might be being jolly or friendly or even joking to some may come across as plain weird to a lot of people.
 
"He touched my shoulder and said I looked pretty, I've had PTSD since and can't go out in public"...

I heard it mentioned once in an office (no touching involved as separate desks) when someone had helped someone else out with something they'd been struggling on for a while. The male said something like "thanks a heck of a lot because I've been banging my head etc, brains and beauty." He then got pulled into a room and told it was an inappropriate comment.
To me it sounded like an innocuous compliment and just a thank you would have sufficed?
He told me he was tempted to apologise and retract the statement because she was neither lol. I'm glad he didn't or he would have been strung up! lol

Also heard someone else got pulled into an office because someone heard them talking about someone and reported them.

Anyway, anything in a sexual nature regarding touching is inappropriate and wrong. Speech is different and can be construed or framed wrong.
