They did a segment on the local news tonight about a local feminist group telling parents to not like their daughters sit on Santas Lap as it will cause consent issues when they get older.

THIS IS HOW CRAZY ITS GETTING.

hence the thread, How can we protect our selves in a predominantly male industry from having someone make false accusations?

As fins said, flirting happens, Jokes happen etc. I can count on quite a few fingers how many times a bored housewife has made a comment that if you didnt have a sense of humor would be taken as a "sexual advance" Being professional you laugh it off and go back to your Job.

But in those scenarios a bored house wife provokes man, flirting, touching and then the nasty ensues with full consent from the wife. Husband comes home, she tells him and then the lawyers and the cops come knocking. Just throwing this out there.

thats way less likely though....Im more concerned with the "he shook my hand in a sexual way" when he came to give an estimate.
