Recently, a set of short videos reflecting sexual harassment in the workplace has caused a hot debate online, which lists several common scenarios with very different attitudes due to the differences in perception between men and women.
Scene 1 A female colleague brings a cup of milk tea to a male colleague in a meeting.
Boys She brought me milk tea, she is interested in me.
Girl It’s not polite for two people in a meeting to drink milk tea by themselves, and it’s workplace etiquette to bring milk tea to the other person.
Scene 2 A male coworker unintentionally touches a female coworker’s hand and the girl doesn’t object
Boy She didn’t object, so it was consent to physical contact.
Girl He didn’t mean to do it, straight up it was awkward and it was better to be decent.
Scene 3 Gay coworker compliments that in the future he will marry a wife like his female coworker
Boy I’m complimenting her for being attractive.
Girl Treating me like a sex object is insulting.

Ines Is a guy who is asked for milk tea out of the blue by a female coworker considered harassed?
Ines.
Is a guy who is suddenly offered milk tea by a female coworker considered harassed?
Pocket hasn’t read Lesson leader, this is not a relationship, this is sexual harassment! so it’s not clear if it’s all about women being sexually harassed throughout the book. At least the short videos I’ve seen so far with this in mind, the people being harassed are women in the workplace.
The author of the book, Palm has checked, is contemporary Japanese sociologist Kazue Muta. She founded the nonprofit organization Women’s Action Network WAN in 2009 and served as its first chairperson, while the current chairperson is Chizuko Ueno, who is more familiar to readers in China. Although she is eight years younger than Chizuko Ueno, Kazue Muta is no slouch in Japan’s academic world. She was deeply involved in the Fukuoka sexual harassment trial, Japan’s first sexual harassment case. She was deeply involved in the Fukuoka sexual harassment trial, which was the first sexual harassment lawsuit in Japan and popularized the term sexual harassment. Since then, she has continued to investigate a large number of sexual harassment cases and has written opinions as an expert in many trials, and has been recognized as the most knowledgeable scholar on sexual harassment in Japan.
Having said that, Paw Paw believes that the book and the series of short videos convey content that deserves to be seen. Especially the idea that even if you don’t show your dislike, if you don’t like it but have to accept it, it’s still considered sexual harassment, and that’s true for both men and women.
Imagine the first case, a female colleague brought a cup of milk tea to a male colleague who had a meeting with only two people, because she didn’t want to drink it alone, which seemed impolite, and it was a form of sexual harassment for the male colleague to misunderstand that the female colleague was interested in him, but if the male colleague didn’t like milk tea and was suddenly fed by the female colleague who was having a one-on-one meeting, would this be considered a form of harassment at the workplace After all, it seemed impolite for him to say no, and it seemed that he owed a favor to the female colleague if he readily accepted, which conformed to the principle of sexual harassment. After all, he said no seems impolite, gladly accepted and seems to owe a female colleague a favor, in line with the definition of harassment that the other party’s unconscious behavior, but make themselves feel uncomfortable.
It’s true that the status of women in the Japanese workplace is generally lower than that of men, and it’s not wrong for this book to focus on the disadvantaged position of women in the workplace. But women in the Chinese workplace are relatively equal, so when we talk about sexual harassment in the workplace, we might as well focus on how men might be harassed, too, right?

As a male, the shopkeeper is becoming less and less aware of the boundaries between men and women.
The palmist once talked to a girl after 95, and she told me a story. To the effect that the father took the child on the bus, and then the child said that the aunt sitting by the window was very good-looking, and that father stopped him, saying Don’t arbitrarily comment on a girl’s appearance, even if it’s a compliment . Hearing the 95-year-old girl’s closing jinx and the unmistakable look in her eyes, I was left in deep thought… So every diner who calls out to a waitress in a restaurant for a pretty girl is a repeat sexual harasser?
Now every time I come into contact with a new female coworker at work, I’m extra careful with my words. The age of the other party, marriage and parenthood is of course off-limits, and even the other party’s preferences, clothing are not to be commented on the scope of the so in the awkward chat a few sentences of work, then fell into a dead silence, only to look forward to other colleagues to hurry up to participate in the meeting, to alleviate the embarrassment.
Having said all this, Paw Paw is not opening his eyes for sexual harassment in the workplace, he just thinks that it is too subjective to draw the line between sexual harassment and non-sexual harassment based on one’s personal feelings, and when this subjectivity forms a consensus and becomes an objective guideline, it will in turn inspire further line drawing. Every concept has the property of self-expansion, and there will always be people who want to keep renovating its connotation and expanding its extension, just like the kernel of a snowball that, once formed, will only get bigger and bigger, eventually triggering an avalanche.
As Ms. Kazue Muta says in her book, even if one does not show one’s dislike, a situation in which one is forced to accept something one clearly dislikes is considered sexual harassment, and perhaps this subjective criminalization will only make the two sexes suspicious of each other, which is not conducive to a normal relationship.
