Sexual Harassment in Comparison With a Flirt

Sexual Harassment in Comparison With a Flirt

By Francis K Githinji

If you take sexual harassment to have a physical connotation, there is a likelihood of many people feeling powerless, ugly and bad accusing others of sexual harassment. To flirt and suffer through the ranks of sexual harassment has a strong similarity yet clearly different. This is the reason you need to create a distinction between a flirt and a sexual harassing comment.

For many people, they do not think about harassment when they are flirting, and everything they say to them. Creating that distinction more so for a person who thrives on flirting every time there is a chance can be hard. Determining the phrases and words that depict sexual harassment is a hard thing to do. For others, realizing the extent by which a remark connotes sexual harassment or whether it is different from one individual to another is always a tough gum to chew.

A flirt is something that conjures lots of fun, and depicts the extent of people who are potentially lovers sharing some things that largely depict an underlying need for sex. The fact is there are some remarks that women might consider sexual harassing but full of fun and flirting all the way. To understand the guidelines and the border between the two is something not obvious or easy to determine, but not hard at all.

Sexual Harassment and a Flirt

For many people, a sexual harassing statement depicts the unwilling or forceful kind of sexual behavior by certain people to us. It is something that is enough to make you feel real bad, demeaned, ugly and powerless and goes against your will. If you think about it, a harassment physical activity might involve forceful sex, but when it takes a verbal route, it is more abusive than fun.

A flirt on the other hand has some unique qualities that make a person feel very good, flattered, happy, in control, attractive, and pretty. When you are flirting with someone, the flirts continue because both of you are enjoying the feeling, while for a person being sexually harassed, only one person is deriving pleasure.

When you are harassed, the feeling results into negative self-esteem. It is something you do not need to live with and it is the reason it is ‘harassment’ in the first place, since there is punishment for it. A flirt on the on the other hand makes you enjoy a positive self-esteem, and you feel you want the feeling to continue. The truth is a statement to a person might be harassment, while to another the same statement might become a flirt.

Flirting is reciprocal, open and more of a compliment, while at the same time wanted, legal and equally motivated. Sexual harassment is unwanted, illegal and power motivated. Whatever you say, whether you like a flirt or not, just watch out and are careful not to receive accusations of sexual harassment.
