On the one hand, it's a matter of immense shame, and on the other, also of great relief that sexual predators of varying degrees are being outed almost on an hourly basis in India on the rising tide of 'Me Too' movement by a lot of courageous women, who have finally shown the gumption to speak out. However, I think some sort of distinction needs to be made between harmless flirting without any ulterior motives, and the scary, unremitting, and incessant harassment which has crossed all bounds of civility and decency, and respect for women in general. I think, the former works as some kind of grease to reduce friction of our existence, but the latter has only poisoned the well for every civilized male of the species. Unless of course ladies, you think that a civilized man is an oxymoron in itself.
