So the real terrible thing is insisting about it with threats and/or violence, which is basically rape. What about just touching someone and then stopping?
well i think that will depend of two factors
-time
-agresiveness
-person psycological strenght (some people can handle better stress than other)
puting again the example of the gay (someone you dont want to have sexual interaction,to understand how women feel when they are harrased by a men that they dont want)
imaging a gay touching your peniss in the street by no reason at all
it would be a completly disrespect and you would get angry,yet is just minor sexual harrasment (no permanent damage,yet sexual agression)
now imagine if was your boss,and it insist day after day for one or two years,and you need the job
now even if the nature of the harrasment havent change
the time that have been happen make more stressfull and damaging
and now the other case
high agressiveness + short time
imagine a gay taking your balls and toching them until they hurt and you cant defend or dont know how to
and the third factor
depending of the women she can endure more or less harrasment before getting uncomfortable or directly feeling in danger and humilliated
