I’m not defending pestering, obnoxious people; I just don’t want to be cavalier in calling things harassment.
I just don’t want to be cavalier when it comes to behaviors that could be harassment.
I guess it depends on the nature of the rejection and how “persistent” the asker is.
Just because there’s no direct physical or psychological harm doesn’t make it okay though. Harassment doesn’t require those things. Consistent unwanted advances would qualify.
Then I guess Han and even Lando harassed Leia, I guess Chachi harassed Joanie on Happy Days. I guess this is harassment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N9C2JS9mWc
Hitting on someone is not always harassment, and I never said it was. It’s just important to realize that it can be.
