Maybe I'm reading the GP's anecdote incorrectly, but the behavior in question seemed like targeted harassment, not just "a bit of adult off-color talk".

- cat_plus_plus 7y agoPeople are throwing these words around so much they lost all the real meaning. Harassment is someone seriously interfering in your life. Bad jokes during a public talk where you are obviously safe from unwanted advances does not qualify. Neither is Joe Biden anything. Al Franken maybe deserved a slap on the face or some other minor consequences around the time things happened (if they did as alleged) but not an unpersoning. The most easily offended person in the society does not get to be a unilateral tyrant over all functional adults with normal offense thresholds.
