I think the is BS, but....
“Does not recall”
and
“Does not believe”
are NOT very convincing denials.
I think it’s just the shifting sands of political correctness vis-a-vis sexual harassment. It’s become weaponized and everybody wants their 15 minutes.
“I don’t recall” type responses at this point are okay. Don’t show all your cards before you have to.
Some men think that they’re flattering the woman by making light innuendo and double entendre. Is it sexual harassment if you think about it. Women don’t wear 3” heels and mid thigh skirts with low cut shirt for nothing. Knowingly or unknowingly it distracts men and sexually disturbs another. I don’t think most women consider beauty vs attraction.
