HARASSMENT: Two to tango

| June 3, 2018 1:00 AM

The discussion concerning men soliciting sex from women, one obvious truth has not been mentioned, and that is … IT WORKS! Not every woman rejects the offer of sexual activity.

I recall when I was in high school and had a Saturday job at a supermarket. I observed the store manager taking first one checkout lady into his office, then about five minutes later taking the other girl into his office. He told me proudly, “I’m ****ing them both.” I am guessing that he approached them with his suggestion of sexual activity, although it would not be unheard of for the females to suggest this activity. And this is why men continue to approach women, because it works part of the time.

I am not sure how we are to consider wartime behavior. When I was near St. Louis in World War II, sometimes we were subjected to very aggressive behavior by the gentler sex. They would cruise around in a sedan, picking up as many servicemen as the car would hold, then drive off to a house that they were using. And a big sex party was initiated for that entire day. On other occasions, you would be approached by a single female and be invited to join her for the day.

These are just the observations of one person.
