DO you think there is a grey area, varying degrees of sexual harassment

4. Yes. It depends on the person and their background. I'm an old hippie and not much phases me.

Banter of any kind is just that, banter. However, touch or trying to grab my breast or rear would always get a fist in the face and a very loud rant to call attention to the behavior and embarrass the person as much as possible. I know lots of women who that happens to that would just cower and then try to get away as quickly as possible and never tell anyone.

Franken's ill considered gag was not funny but to me was not sexual harassment. What Charlie Rose appears to have done was not just harassment but sexual assault. There are huge differences in the degrees.
