Spotlight: "sexual harassment"

In 1979, I was living in an upper middle class neighborhood of private 
homes in Columbus, Ohio.  One spring day, I was sitting at the dining 
room table facing the front door which had a screen door in place and 
was approximately 50 feet from the city street curb.  Suddenly I 
looked up from my paperwork and my eyes focused outside to a teen-
age black boy on a bicycle stationary at the curb, leaning back on
the seat of the bicycle to exhibit his enormous "schwantz" which was
totally upright (so to speak) [no mysterious bend at least].

     Reaction:  fear, disgust, rape-thoughts;
                ----------------------------  call the Police
                   S H O C K

I picked up the phone to call the police and the exhibitionist fled.  
Nevertheless, I called:

          #1)  the police had other such calls
               about the same individual
          #2)  I accepted attention, compassion, and sharing
               thereby protecting my psyche

     A) Was the incident sexual in nature -- absolutely.
     B) Was the exhibitionist lewd  -- absolutely.
     C) Was there any intimidation involved  -- absolutely.

     Was this an act of sexual harassment -- yes; the matter may be
     best described as "gaining access by offense" -- the more 
     shocking the offense, the deeper the psychic penetration.

     In a physical rape, the "key" question "was there penetration?";
     in a psychic rape, the same question.  Equally important, though
     never asked, "what is the level of susceptibility or degree of 
     fragility of the psyche of the victim?".

Sexual Harassment Appeal

The fact that such matters are the thoughts on the minds of all the 
world says something about the state of affairs [pardon the pun]
which the human society is being forced to delineate.

The Bible says, very apropo to our present dilemma, "No longer
shall the lewd person be called liberal."

In the political world in the USA, the "L-word" has become political 
shorthand for liberal and has been used to denigrate ALL liberals and 
ALL liberal thought, projects, programs, and funding.  There is no 
effort taken to differentiate liberal from lewd.

Hence the lack of differentiation becomes a shield -- liberalism
forced to defend lewdness.  [Enough said.]
