sexual advances - the big question

457 replies

BramshawHill · 03/03/2013 10:47

BBC the big question is currently discussing whether sexual advances should be accepted as a part of life.

The first speaker has said it weakens men and women if women complain about it every time, and that it IS a part of life.

Anyone else watching? Thoughts?

First time posting, hello btw!

Fastidia - it's really tricky to detect the difference at times, between someone who knows they are 'getting away with it', and those who are convinced about their entitlement.

Psychometric tests assist, to some degree, but they are not panaceas as sometimes they are claimed to be. In assessment it often comes down to an 'instinct', and observed behaviours outside of tests, like how you approached the receptionists ( in a clinical environment), or how you describe your relationships with 'significant others'.

I know it's all over this thread.Sad

No shit, as in, the colloquialism. As in, yes, it is very obviously true that people can engage in stunning levels of cognitive dissonance. It's all over this thread, for starters.
