When did sexual comments become acceptable behavior?

Question

One Yahoo/AnswerER said that sexual comments have become accepted behavior.

Maybe it's just my town...but I don't know ANYONE who appreciates lewd remarks (as opposed to respectful flirting).

So where is this acceptable?

Answer 1

when you start school

Answer 2

I think that it is generally not considered acceptable, but we are often made to feel that it is the norm through popular culture.  Perhaps because media that we are exposed to comes from a place where women are generally not treated with respect (Hollywood).

In real life, though?  I think that other than between friends, not many people would say it to someone they don't know well without being called a creep.

Answer 3

girls like it...you know it.

Answer 4

It depends on if you're being uptight vs. people just being down right disrespectful.

I'm not offended if someone says something like, "Oh, you have a nice a**.." Now if someone walks up and starts spankin it, yeah- that's a problem.

Age, too, is a factor. If you're surrounded by teenage boys- many havn't matured and think it's "cool" to speak like that (more to impress their boys) As they age, they learn that actin that way, doesn't get em any...

No lady appreciated lewd remarks and any smart man knows how to speak "The female language"

Good Luck!

Answer 5

Uh, it hasn't that I know of.  That being said, I do think some people have become more sensitive, or feel that they now have the ability to speak out against it.  I shrug off the stuff I hear.  It doesn't really bother me (of course, it doesn't endear them to me either).

If I let all the sexual comments I have gotten in the past bother me, I would never leave the house.  And also probably have some deep issues.

Answer 6

at my job.

i work at mcdonald's and have never been sexually harassed so much in my life. almost all of my male co-workers and even a few of the managers make lewd comments to me and sexual advances.

at first i was astonished but after a while i grew accustom to the sexual remarks and realized that ALL the girls who work there put up with the same bullsh*t. i have learned to stave off unwanted attention.

Answer 7

Draw succulently upon my balls, you lascivious w***e.

Answer 8

By the sounds of it (as usual) it is in your opinion "(as opposed to respectful flirting)"

PC garbage feminist are infamous for.

Answer 9

It seems to have begun in the late 1960s and has been progressing ever since.  Those kinds of comments just show a lack of vocabulary for the person using such language.

Answer 10

there is no place in earth it is acceptable.

Answer 11

Nowhere, it will always be a tabu.

Answer 12

between a close knit group of friends MAYBE, sexual comments are still very inappropriate, shouldn't be used generally. North American society it is very common now so....

Answer 13

They're not.  Its sexual harassment, same as leering or groping.  This is the verbal form.

Answer 14

I am sure if one could possibly look at a global view, that they would discover that it is minor in the country of the U.S. than any of the other countries.

Most other countries do not engage in battle of the tongues, the Alpha male, just takes!!!!!!!!

Who is the animal here?

God Speed to ya.

Answer 15

AT SEXUAL MATURITY.

Answer 16

No where. It is still rude and crass.

Answer 17

when a whole bunch of guys get together lol. they can't handle their own immaturity levels

Answer 18

I do not appreciate any s*x comments from anyone...

s*x is very private thing & I respect my private life to the point that I refuse to discuss it with anyone.

Its a humiliation to my husband and to others. as many people do not like to hear it as well.



I would rather keep some personal things to myself & maybe coz I am a private person.

but at the end, its the person choice...
