Bring back sexual harassment?

Most military personnel used to kid around, not anything serious or worthy to be called sexual harassment. Then came the monthly sexual harassment classes for reservists and regulars, videos, and divisions. There were a few instances I am sure, but I never witnessed any violations.

The classes caused an uncomfortable atmosphere among men and women, because no one knew what was acceptable to say and what was not. Of course, the gays were not open at that time, so now I guess the tension is really difficult.

I think many say ‘bring back the sexual harrasment’ because it really wasn’t, it was bantor and letting off steam... not usually offensive. Now so many have an agenda, trusting someone to not be offended by kidding around is dangerous. The military is political and a battleground of political correctness or patriotism. That breeds discontent.

I noticed that, too. He probably means the small stuff, like not telling women they look good, or whistling at them, appearing to favor straights over lezzies or the reverse, etc. I don't think West is in favor of rape.
