6 Sexual harassment in any setting is often intertwined with racism, fueled by stereotypes about the sexuality of various cultural groups. I won't presume that others enjoy the same kind of flirtatious banter that I do. I can refuse to participate in interactions that make me uncomfortable, including confronting racist, sexist, or homophobic stereotypes. I don't know anyone who would engage in sexual harassment. Even nice guys harass.
Most harassers first disarm their victims with charm.
I will no longer dismiss offensive behavior by someone who I like, but will also learn to confront the behavior without condemning the person. If I'm a man, sexual harassment isn't my problem. Men are affected by sexual harassment as well, whether as victims, through having friends who are victims, or through their silence and tolerance of others' harassing behavior. I understand that sexual harassment is everyone's problem, and affects the women in my life in negative ways, which in turn impacts me. If I a man I also will take responsibility for my brothers' behavior and work to end all forms of sexist violence.
