Is calling a classmate in university a pig sexual harrassment?

Sexual harassment depends on many things. We would have to know more information.

I am very sorry that dating this girl ended badly. That’s very sad.

I suggest you take 5 or 10 minutes to sit and do nothing but breathe. Don’t sit and watch videos on YouTube. Don’t even rock if you have a rocking chair. Just sit and breathe.

After that, I think it would be a good idea to watch a funny video. You can watch videos of kittens or puppies. Those are often very funny.

Let us know how you feel after breathing and watching funny videos. We are concerned.

@RedDeerGuy1 You give no context for your Q. Did she call you a pig while coming on to you? Did you call her a pig while groping her? I am sorry that your feelings were hurt, honestly, but I really don’t understand the question as written.
Normally I would say it was simply insulting.

@canidmajor I was talking about the glass ceiling, in politics class. Next time I will pick my battles, and I will keep on walking next time.

My mom just called, and I’m ok now. I will discuss with my therapist next week.

Did she call you a pig or you called her a pig?

In my opinion, language like that is never appropriate, whether in school or a work setting, or with personal relationships.

Is this a new situation? I didn’t know you were going to school now. I thought the breakup happened some years ago. I’m confused.

@jca2 She called me a pig, in the hallway. Was after a heated politics class. She took my comments on the glass ceiling personally. I felt upset.
@smudges Was in 1999 . My first semester of my liberal arts degree.

I thought that class was a safe zone. Now I know to keep my comments to myself in the future.

@All Thanks I will take my advice and I will stop following this question. I might lurk.

It’s a pretty common retaliation gor wolf whistles and poor behavior but not regarding politics usually here.

Sorry you’re having a bad day, buddy.

I would try to concentrate on improving the present and let go of the past. Not so easy I know.

@janbb I made appointments with a new therapist every Tuesday at 6–7pm mountain standard time. I will ask for advice on moving on.

Not sexual harrassment, but definitely out of line. Then again, you’re talking about very young, barely-can-call-them adults. They’re liable to say anything.

The phrase male chauvinist pig was commonly used at the time. I am wondering if that was what she had in mind based on your political views.

@LostInParadise Yes. That is what she meant. My mom told me that she used it to start a conversation with me. Is that common?

It’s not now, you rarely even hear the term. But you’re talking about 24 years ago; it wasn’t un common.
