#1 While "sexual harassment" often leads to more than that, it is -- of itself -- NOT on the same scope as statutory rape or sexually intimidating/threatening/exploiting a minor sexually while acting in a "position of authority"
#2 "Sexual harassment laws" is also an overly comprehensive umbrella term that really is primarily geared at protecting adults -- vs. minors. I mean c'mon...how often do we read in the news about somebody running afoul of some generic "sexual harassment" code when it involves minors? Also, IMO, adults have more resources available to protect themselves than do minors. So, really, as it pertains to this thread, "sexual harassment laws" are largely irrelevant.
And #3 At least re: any laws protecting minors from those who sexually prey on them -- anybody who concludes that such laws "change nothing" are often like those who claim that abortion laws and parental consent/parental notification laws involving minors also somehow "changes nothing."
But the fact is states passing those laws have changed in some states even the very pregnancy rate among teens -- with teens knowing they don't have a "back-up" abortion clinic plan if they become pregnant.
Basically some laws also "change something" in that they pre-empt increases, even when they don't always "stem the tide."
At least I didn’t reverse the facts.
“Also, IMO, adults have more resources available to protect themselves than do minors.”
Adults don’t have CPS or the ability to completely destroy someone with the slightest accusation alone or to use their status for blackmail. So I don’t know what you are talking about and neither do you.
