Today I was accused of harassment. It is a heavy accusation. What can I say? Yeah, I grew up in a time when students lived with their teachers and hugging a colleague at a party or even a kiss was considered the norm. Not justifying myself, I ask me to understand the boundaries of bodily integrity, for me, remained at the level of 2000-ies, when we consider the molestation of a cute game in which participants know their roles and no one goes beyond certain boundaries, which were established in the process of communication. That time has gone. br>
But that does not excuse me. I did not notice that came a new ethic, with its new definitions of bodily boundaries and integrity. I continued risky to joke about these topics, Yes, hugging their colleagues, have made it doubtful compliments, evaluating the physical attractiveness and hinted at intimacy, believing that it does not go abroad the usual flirting. Don’t know what punishment I must now suffer for their mistakes. br>
I sincerely apologize to all whom my frivolous behavior caused discomfort and who had the courage now to talk about it publicly, anonymously or under a pseudonym. The only defense, I never resorted to violence, alcohol or moral pressure. br>
With all colleagues, present and former, from which I now excuse me, with most of them I have a normal professional and friendly relations, and they were not offended by my hug or a touch,
