My experience with sexual harassment in the Scala community
There is a lot about the sexual events in this post that, to me, highlights something I feel is important which is: we parents need to get better had having conversations with our children around sex.<p>This girl was feeling uncomfortable and crying but at the same time &quot;didn&#x27;t think those behaviors were problematic&quot;.  I can&#x27;t help but wonder if her parents never sat her down and discussed situations like this and, I get it.  That&#x27;s a really uncomfortable conversation to have with your child.  It is, however, an important one.<p>This doesn&#x27;t just apply to girls by the way.  We parents need to be telling our sons what kind of behavior is and isn&#x27;t acceptable.  It&#x27;s not enough to expect them to figure it out.  Who are they figuring it out from if not us?  Probably other inexperienced boys.<p>Please don&#x27;t rush to put words in my mouth by thinking I am suggesting the guy in the article is innocent of the accusations.  I&#x27;m making no commentary on either party from this article.  That&#x27;s for the courts to decide should one or both parties choose to take that course of action.<p>I&#x27;m simply saying it is important that parents overcome their discomfort around discussions of sex with their children so that the children can make informed decisions.
