I think about every person on this planet must have heard already about the #metoo phenomenon; but if you haven't it's women twittering about themselves being victims of sexual harassment.

Now, I am hardly an expert on the mating rituals of heterosexuals and I think people who are guilty of sexual harassment should be punished. But I am wondering if making every unwanted attention from the opposite sex sexual harassment is really what women want. By setting the standard in a way that even the most tentative approach from anybody else than the perfect man of your dreams becomes sexual harassment you run the serious risk of chasing away even the attentions you might appreciate. To me it seems a quite bleak future in which you never will be touched because touching in itself is a risky shortcut to being branded a sexual offender. Shouldn't both women and men stand up to an attitude towards the physical part of men-women relations that would befit the most extreme islamists?
