Study: Sexual harassment At U.S. colleges.

Man, I went to the wrong college:

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Reuters) -- Nearly two-thirds of U.S. college students are affected by sexual harassment -- ranging from offensive jokes and gestures to touching and grabbing, according to a study released on Tuesday.

Men are more likely to harass than women, but women and men are equally likely to be harassed on U.S. campuses, according to a report by the American Association of University Women.

Researchers found that 62 percent of college students experienced sexual harassment, and 32 percent of college students said they were victims of physical harassment.

"The primary form of harassment that we're seeing is actually non-contact: it tends to be remarks, gestures and jokes," Elena Silva, the report's co-author, said in a telephone interview. "But the fact that one-third of college students are experiencing some form of physical harassment is certainly a concern."

So, the primary form of harassment is. . . flirting? Yeah, I could see how that would be a real hassle.

Obviously, if there's something more serious going on here, there is "room for concern." But who here seriously believes that this study isn't lumping in all sorts of innocuous behavior in order to make the "problem" seem worse than it is?

Besides, merely *asking* a woman to salt her neck and place the shot glass between her lips isn't sexual harassment. Asking her 47 times, however, might cross that line. (Thank God she said yes after only 23 times, whew).

Common types of physical harassment include being touched, grabbed or pinched in a sexual way, or intentionally brushing up against someone in a sexual way, the study found.
Sigh.

I sure wish someone would harass ME right now.

I guess you never learned about playing hard to get. Keep saying things like that, and you'll never be anything more than a 2:00am booty call. Or is that what you want, you wanton hussy?

Beloved, my life is but to serve you. The salt shaker is right here.

Hey college students! Lighten the fuck up!

I hate to see these bogus studies published as it trivializes the problem of sexual harassment. Everybody knows from their own experience that these stats cannot be true. So when real sexual harassment happens people just dismiss it as a flirty look or a touch on the elbow.

You could always find a quiet place light a few candles, put on some Kenny G, lie on your arm until it is numb and then harrass yourself.

I went to a college that was two-thirds gay, and still no one tried to squeeze my honkers, not even to check the built-in support.

It's enough to bruise a girl's ego.

mary,

I'm willing to step up and salve your injured pride by giving the Amazing Wonder Twins some gentle attention. That's just the kind of guy I am.

...still no one tried to squeeze my honkers...

It's enough to bruise a girl's ego.

So, a little physical bruising would have meant less emotional bruising? I never knew I was a minuteman in the war for womens' mental health. Well, I knew I was a minuteman in terms of staying power, I just didn't know that I was a heroic volunteer fighting for my community.

Geeeeez, Dave.... Lessee, here.
You asked her 23 times... and each time she had a shotglass in her face?

Consider yourself lucky, do you?

I know of damned few women who won't say 'yes' after 23 shots, dig?

Posted by: Bithead on January 24, 2006 12:25 PM

"honkers"?

Posted by: Darwin on January 24, 2006 12:34 PM

What can I say? She was a big girl.

Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on January 24, 2006 12:46 PM

How about posting nude pictures in a public place? Does that constitute sexual harrassment?

Posted by: Hal on January 24, 2006 12:47 PM

Far more serious -- and always has been -- is the sexual exploitation of students by faculty, who in many cases seem to regard the 'student body' as their personal harem. Also: Quid-pro-quo is sexual bribery where students buy good grades for sex, or extortion where they avoid bad grades, with sex. Most university faculty I've met seem to consider this arrangement peachy keen and an expected perk.

JimO -

I was given good grades by professors in return for NOT having sex with them.

Posted by: steve_in_hb on January 24, 2006 01:19 PM

Hal, why do you want to know?

Posted by: vivi on January 24, 2006 01:25 PM

Do you still get good grades for bad sex? I mean poorly performed sex rather than the use of a David Hasselhoff doll and a toilet plunger.
