I was going to place a picture of a naked man here before I wrote this, the picture being a statue of David, in Florence, a beautiful statue that doesn't offend me. Perhaps 100 years ago I may have been upset, but had I been on a world tour, as ladies of elegant means would do back then, this still wouldn't have offended me. That's because they would, as world travellers, learned to have an open mind.
So we have this awful thing that's now being brought into the open, called sexual harrassment. It's very weird as I am from an older generation and before it goes too far, I have to admit that I heartily agree it is an abominable practice, and finally now it's being talked about in the open instead of rumours in the background, we should be able to move forward with a much clearer view.
From what I read about and see on television, this discussion isn't going to go away too soon. The unfortunate thing is in my view is that it may colour an innocent mind against the opposite sex. This shouldn't happen, whatever your opposite sex be; man or women.
But before the media frenzy goes too far, I hope that the innocent game of flirtation will never be lost. I am confident that most men who are on Steemit would agree with that, as well as my fellow female Steemians. We naturally have to be somewhat cautious, but wouldn't you be anyway? But leave flirting alone, flirting may be inocent or sensual, depending on who does the flirting and how they do it.
What we're left with is reputations in ruins, because we don't really have ways to punish the offenders. But surely that is the punishment that they should face anyway? It should be punishment enough for most. Once your good reputation is gone, what have you left within society but to face shame. That is until a law is passed to make sure that this emerging trend that has seen the limelight, gets put into it's rightful place, something that happened in the past.
Oh, to hell with it, here's a picture of David. You can admire, whatever side you're batting on.
