If I dislike that effect too much, I will not wear it (unless forced to by uniform). If I wear it and feel uncomfortable with someones gazes I first see it as my responsibility to cover or make it less obvious, because I was the one putting it on in the morning. As long as you are not obnoxiously behaving like a hunter who just smelled prey I should be fine. | |
| Mar 7, 2017 at 20:07 | comment | added | Christos Hayward | It interests me that the upshot of the responses is that any fault in a situation like this is 100% the bloke's fault for "being treated as a life support system for mammary glands:" the topmost upvoted answer does not recognize that the OP was trying to act appropriately in response to provocative dress, provocative even by the fellow employee's usual standard. | |

| Mar 7, 2017 at 10:03 | comment | added | DRF | If she is Czech she is quite likely to have either ignored it or found it a compliment. We're not quite as far in the de-humanization of human interaction as most of the west and sexual harassment still means actually harassing someone (catcalling, unwanted touching, abusing a position of power) as opposed to noticing a guy wore tight jeans that make his ass look good or a woman wore a short skirt. Don't leer and don't behave like a pig and you're most likely to be fine. | |

| Mar 6, 2017 at 8:39 | comment | added | user44108 | I've put a cultural-sensitivity tag on this as I believe this is more of a cultural question than of sexual harassment. | |

| Mar 6, 2017 at 7:27 | comment | added | Xenocacia | @Luceos: Good point! My colleague is from Czech if I recall correctly, whilst I am Singaporean Chinese (we work in Singapore). I have no idea what her cultural preconceptions are like, but I am tend to be reserved and concerned with propriety (think Asian stereotypes, perhaps?) | |
