The Rise of the Harassees!

Imagine our astounded astoundment when we checked the news today! Our dedicated fervid local newspaper was carrying an insightful report on sexual harassment! And not only that, it said that a bill on illegalising sexual harassment is going to be taken up in the Parliament floor!

Two hours later, after we woke up from a euphoria induced comatose stupor and collected our wits, we thought hats off to you Haveeru and all its good people. Especially the writer of the report Mr. Hassan. We would kiss you all over if that was not sexual harassment!

Well the point of this article is yet again to recognize the good that is going on in society – like we said at the beginning we are trying to beat Team Negativity. We dont mean over the head with plastic chairs as was demonstrated by our cool MPs and political activists during the entertaining albeit somewhat disillusioning showdown on the artificial beach but over the head with our words and our superior wit and sheer positive thinking (yes we did take a turn for the better since our last glum episode and now feeling collectively peachy-keen-and-dandy).

We wholeheartedly support the bill illegalising sexual harassment. We also appeal to the MPs to ensure that you do consult with people who know more on the issue before the big debate. Yes, yes, we do certainly know that you are all experts in everything too but in addition, perhaps just run the bill by another expert?

One thing that we would also like to say is that while this is very important mainly to women, sexual harassment law should protect all people from unwanted sexual advances. After all, since the removal of the gender bar, we could have a woman president any day now!

Anywhoo, today's a day for celebration so we're all off for smoothies!

Toodles!

    if i find a beautiful person and just wants to acknoldge it...ehenveema ma mibunany for eg; varah reechey or smthing like it...question is would that be harrassment too?

    i think reethi kujaka dhimaalah reechay bunefiyaa it will be merely expressing a fact where as hadi kujekaa dhimaalah reechay bunefiyaa vaany harass kury kamah ..unless the harasser convinces that girl( who until today have never managed to turn a head in her entire life) that he really finds her beautiful and he is not harrassing her and he also wants to marry her make lots of babies.

    Ever heard of tic tac toe?? Brilliant way to pass the time!

    @Penny
    Thank you, next time we shall take your suggestion into unhealthy consideration.

    @alifulhu
    sigh. sighhh. what can we say.
    alright, in your honour we shall strive to explain what harassment means sometime in the future. We'll make it so clear it'll make your head spin. But it seems u subconsciously know the answer to yr question, as in yr comment you have already referred to the person doing the harassing as "the harasser".

    and @Anon, now now be nice. he just needs some time. and lots more vegetables. and marbles.
