No, that's not the problem, women get plenty of experience with that. People should not stalk or harass, period.
- goda90 11y agoPeople should not stalk or harass. Authorities and all other members of society should take stalking and harassing seriously. BUT potential victims should take reasonable measures to protect themselves too(not saying that a "firm rejection" is enough or even safe though). I hope Internet safety instruction becomes more of a thing in our education system.
- andreasvc 11y agoI know and the post did mention such a firm rejection. I'm just stating that the problem is rather that there are people who don't take no for an answer.
- LordKano 11y agoExactly. What she did would be interpreted by someone with limited social skills as sending mixed signals. She went out for a meal with him when he showed up unannounced and gave her a gift. She'd block or ignore him sometimes and engage him other times. No, he shouldn't have harassed her but she should have been clear from the beginning that the attention was unwanted.
- randyrand 11y ago>People should not stalk or harass, period. And if they are, you're saying that women are completely incapable of handling the situation themselves and need to run to the police? Suggesting that a woman solves her own problems is not the same as victim blaming.
