Go ahead. Ask any woman you know if she’s experienced unwanted touching or suggestive comments in her life. It happens at work, in the gym, at a bar, even simply walking down the street . . .

Why does the culture of sexual harassment persist? And how does this impact rape, domestic violence, etc.

Have we finally come to a tipping point?

What will it take to make it NOT OKAY?

Are men biologically wired to chase women?

Do some feel they have a right to sexual advances? It’s just “boys being boys”?

How has the playing field changed over the last 20 plus years?

Can victims begin to think “I brought this on myself”?

Where does that mindset come from?

What about false accusations?

How can we begin to change the culture of sexual harassment?
