I'm not trying to downplay what has happened to anybody, just to be clear.

I'm not worried about myself, but if, as someone suggested, any unwelcome advances constitutes harassment, then if my son asks a girl out on a date, and she doesn't want him to, is that harassment?

For all of recorded history, men have been trying to get into women's pants. It happens in every culture. It seems that the rules are changing on what our society deems as acceptable or not.

Part of what got me thinking is this whole Harvey Weinstein deal. How many of the women who are coming out actually went to his office hoping that they could get the part by going down on Harv? Does that mean Harvey is innocent because the woman volunteered to service him? Or does the implicit knowledge that they had to do that in order to get the part make him guilty, anyway?

Now you're getting into a complicated scenario, where my own wife could have me thrown in jail for marital rape because she could say that it was implicit that she had to have sex with me or I was going to throw her out of the house.
