If a man says hello to a woman...is this sexual harassment ? 📚

Well if you are the hard core Liberal indoctrinated, modern , feminist, then it probably would be. Last week we were assigned to unload a commercial long distance truck at a university. Before we began our duty we were told not to say hello or engage with any women on the site. There were about 20 male workers in all. Half were Black the other half White. We started our job and the day went good. Note while we were working women in the apartments there were saying hello 👋 to us the entire time. They were saying things to us. They were smiling. They were naking comments. They were also a few women workers there who seemed to be very comfortable there fixing up the building for remodeling. They were with a different company. And at the end of the day a couple of women called us to their cars as we were leaving. Two Caucasian girl's...the guys they called were some Black dudes. My fellow coworkers. They asked them for directions to the swimming pool around the corner of the building. They were new and we're about to start school there soon. The they asked us if we wanted to join them later on. Hmmmmmm. See where this is going right. So what do you make of all of this. The site manager said a week earlier a few girls there told on them and said the guys were harassing them. Hmmmmmm. Comments. What do you think about this whole situation and the whole me too movement energy out there today. Best answer wins. 🤔

It's been two years since I've spoken to any woman in person (except relatives and some people I already knew in advance) or interacted with any (except at work when it's strictly necessary) and I'm doing well, I don't want to be accused of harassment just for say hello, that's why I don't even do that anymore, not even in the supermarket, I live in a city where all that modern ideology has skyrocketed, but I'll be moving soon.

@MrGomco It's not nearly that bad. It's all about who you approach and how.

@Zonuss I don't talk to women, simple as that

@MrGomco men say hi to me (or an equivalent of nodding their head) when they see me in stores or taking a walk in the city park, and not only do I not see that as sexual harassment, I actually think how polite they are. I like being said hello to. Now if they were following me and continued talking to me, I would be creeped out and a bit scared, but they don't do that. It's a small city, and they simply say hi -- whether alone or with friends/family -- and they continue walking. I also have women and kids saying hi to me. What has the world come to, if we can't even say hello anymore!!??

p.s. A simple hello with a body language and a facial expression that says "I am only being cordial'' is totally different than a hello with a body language and facial expressions that says "I'm a creep. Answer me, and I will think it is a green light to assault you''..... I have had those types of hellos before, and their "hello" literally sent shivers down my spine. I kept on walking -- even quicker-- and did not reply them.
