Comment: Or to elaborate slightly- sexual "harassment" is wrong, can induce all sorts of worry about one's job and prospects and doubts about one's support, or if on the street can induce valid fear for safety under certain conditions, and it can and should be punished. I don't know that it rises to the level of "horrifying" in the way sexual assault does. I certainly think all manner of nonsexual assaults are more physically and mentally traumatic than any harassment that falls short of actual violence. Violence gets underrated due to pop culture.  As little as a few good punches can do serious and permanent damage and alter one's life permanently if they connect just right. And I'd hate to get stabbed in really any organ. Psychologically, that has been known to leave durable mental scars- foreign objects anywhere in the body tend to.
