<p>After Hollywood exploded with sexual assault and harassment allegations ignited by Democratic mega-donor and big-time movie producer Harvey Weinstein&#8217;s actions, a national firestorm of sexual harassment awareness campaigns (i.e. #MeToo) and complaints of such misconduct have popped up, seemingly by the hour.</p>
<p>While some good will surely be done due to the bright spotlight on the serious issue, this sexual harassment hysteria (agitated by political partisanship) could be a recipe for a disaster. We should, of course, dismiss the Left&#8217;s &#8220;believe all women&#8221; narrative — a certain <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/duke-lacrosse-rape-espn-30-for-30_us_56e07e33e4b065e2e3d486f7">Duke lacrosse rape case</a> and <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/451218/heres-what-defenders-campus-kangaroo-courts-wont-tell-you">campus kangaroo courts</a> might come to mind — but we should also be concerned about what the general public perceives as &#8220;sexual harrasment.&#8221;</p>
<p>Regarding the latter issue, recent YouGov <a href="https://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2017/11/daily-chart-14?fsrc=scn/tw/te/bl/ed/">polling</a> indicates that a troubling number of young adults, both male and female, find compliments about a woman&#8217;s attractiveness, or even an invite to get a drink from a man, as forms of sexual harassment.</p>
<div class="embed tweet">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p>Over 1/3 of American young adults think it&#8217;s &#8220;always/usually&#8221; sexual harassment if a man who not a woman&#8217;s romantic partner compliments her looks.<br />
About 1 in 4 young women say it&#8217;s always/usually SH if he asks her out for a drink.</p>
<p>Doomed.<a href="https://t.co/V4ULCAt7r0">https://t.co/V4ULCAt7r0</a></p>

</div>
<p>The survey posed the question: &#8220;Would you consider it sexual harassment if a man, who was not a romantic partner, did the following to a woman?&#8221;</p>
<p>Stunningly, over 1/3 of those polled ranging in age from 18-30 (male and female) said a man &#8220;commenting on attractiveness&#8221; would &#8220;always&#8221; or &#8220;usually&#8221; be a form of sexual harassment.</p>
<p>When it came to asking a woman out for a drink, about one in four young males and about 12.5% of young females said it would &#8220;always&#8221; or &#8220;usually&#8221; be a form of sexual harassment. For reference, those polled in Sweden, Germany, and the U.K., all polled around 0% for this particular hypothetical.</p>
<p>Additionally, about 50% of young men and woman considered a man looking at a woman&#8217;s breasts to be &#8220;always&#8221; or &#8220;usually&#8221; sexual harassment.</p>
<p>This is dangerous stuff: watering-down real sexual harassment (when everything is sexual harassment, then nothing is sexual harassment) and potentially driving a wedge further between the sexes.</p>
