Of course it's true (sadly) that sexual harassment happens. It's also true that some women are almost comically hypersensitive about this stuff (like the "dongle" incident at that Python conference).
I'm trying just to be argumentative, but try not to turn this into a men Vs women argument, that is a lot of the problem.
"liberty is a fundamental human right unless youre born the wrong sex and want to govern your private parts"
But I don't think the right to not listen to guys talk how much they like big tits in the office necessarily falls under the classification of a "fundamental human right." My statement was about the claim that the legal definition of sexual harassment doesn't have a very robust argument for why it's a fundamental human right.

but i do believe in certain topics not belonging in certain places. that includes both "locker room talk" and "extreme feminism".
