Our sons and sexual harassment

Most of us have raised our sons to respect women. They have been taught not to invade a woman's personal space unless he has been invited to do so.

But, in this current environment, they have been lumped in with sexual predators. Not fair. I have never been more proud of my sons. This post is for all of the mothers and fathers who are proud of their sons because they treat women with the up most respect and dignity.

Women will eventually not be allowed into high profile meetings with men because god-forbid a twitch in a man's eye will be mistaken for a wink. Women will not be allowed to wear low-cut blouses or short skirts lest they should tempt a man. Later on women will not be allowed to wear revealing clothing in public. They will have to cover their entire body. The only parts of a woman's body that can be revealed are her eyes. Does that sound familiar?

have you not noticed that the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF MEN have *NOT* been accused of harassment?
