This phase will blow over soon and things will go right back to the way they were. Try as they might the PC crowd hasn't changed human nature yet.

"What are you so aggravated about?"

"I spend an hour putting on make-up,
coordinating my pants and blouse
and doing my hair.  And l had barely
got out the front door when some
strange guy harassed me!"

"Wow.  What did he do?"

"He noticed!"

That sounds like something Gracie Allen would have said to George Burns.

From my observation, most flirting is only that; advertising one’s interest and availability. Some level of flirting is necessary to get the message out. Birds do it, Bees do it too.

I have a boss that asks me for some vanilla in her coffee every week. She happens to be black and I am white. It means nothing.

As I’ve been saying all along. If women are mad now just wait til men stop making passes at them.

Then there’s the other way, where a guy (your supervisor) makes it clear that if you aren’t attracted to him, your job is TOAST. He will then make your life hell.

It ruins careers.

This has been going on for decades. For the record, I support Roy Moore, and I am a 100% Trump supporter. But I know this sh*t happens.

I was going more for  "My
Friend Irma," but there were
no animations.

I’ve heard of that show. I think it was on radio, but it happened before I was old enough to really listen. Like the show Topper.
I was born during the Eisenhower Administration,
back when America had only 48 states.

It’s happening — just go on YouTube and search for MGTOW. And the feminazis are furious.

No, things have changed. Women have become more sensitive and men have become more wary. This is what the feminists want.

Well, it may not be a moral outrage but it does sound like some good ol’ interracial flirting. :)

How women used to deal with harassment:

Some women get very upset when a guy expresses interest, if they don’t consider the guy attractive. The guy is supposed to know ahead of time whether she will be receptive to flirting.

Women are hypergamous, looking for the best man they can get. By initiating flirting, the guy is indicating that he thinks he is the best she can get. If she doesn’t agree, she feels insulted.

Women look for Mr Right. Men look for Miss Good Enough For Tonight.

No, flirting is not sexual harrassment.

Talking today to my mom’s home visiting physical therapist. He was all about how overly careful he needs to be. NOT TRUE. Men just need to be decent and not touch, grope, or talk overtly about sex (no Trump style locker room talk with the ladies) at work. Go ahead and joke, smile, and even ask her to get coffee, or a beer, off premises. Allowed. Not harrassment. If she says no, don’t ask again. Easy. Come on, guys. These pervs were grabbing sex organs, either the woman’s or their own, in work settings, in inappropriate ways. Women are not your enemy, guys. We love to flirt. We just don’t want to see you “loving the potted plants” in restaurants or in the office. There is a big difference.

But now I am hungry for pancakes. Is that from a silent film?

And being friendly shouldn’t be considered flirty anyway. It’s healthy for women to encourage men to be chivalrous. (Buying lunch, opening doors, etc...) not everything has to be interpreted as making a move. And basic acts of kindness should be seen as manly not effeminate. I wonder if sometimes thats why homosexuality exists: because men feel no outlet to express qualities traditionally considered “feminine” (sensitivity, artistry, etc...)
