Think back over the last 10 years, how many people will have expressed their opinions on topics like, new genders, non binary, immigration etc, all potential minefields.
Go back a bit further, say 20 years or 30, 40. Office banter, what might have been said to the girls in the office, how many bums may have been slapped, how many comments made about how they look. It only takes someone to look back and feel offended by what happened and soon they could be a knock at your door.
I’ve worked with groups of women who were like bitches on heat, every day someone would be saying ***ualised stuff to me, as Lewd as it gets but I just saw it as banter, was sometimes embarrassed but never offended. That said I could make out now I was deeply offended at the time, that it’s affected me my whole life. I could put the blame on my then employers, some of the worse culprits were managers. It will only take some successful claims for compensation and you watch the floodgates open, the no win no fee brigade will have a field day.
For me it’s a load of b0110x but I do think things may well start coming back to haunt people, all people in all walks of life potentially!!!!
