  1. So I've just been put in a study group with a boy who's expressed romantic love for me (and is hopelessly misogynistic and homophobic) whom I'm trying to avoid. That's not a good reason to switch groups, so I can't. Fuck me.

      Ouch. That is basically sexual harassment, which should definitely be a good reason to switch. I am so sorry you have to put up with that

      @Dodgypotato been there, done that. That's why I'm trying to avoid him.

       

      @paporomantic It doesn't really work like that, telling him off? He's very fixed in his opinion and he's going to challenge me on all those claims and I'm not very good at rebutting, even if my life depended on it. I do really wish he were a decent person tho. He's really smart and we were friends before he started giving off those disturbing vibes.

       

      @Ace-TheTimelordsCompanion it's not really sexual harrassment? He doesn't specifically do or say stuff to me that would be considered harrassment? Not outright, at least, but there are definite undercurrents of misogyny.

      I don't know for sure, I'm no lawyer. I know it certainly doesn't sound okay, and regardless you shouldn't have to put up with it since it clearly makes you uncomfortable. 
      I looked sexual harrassment up on google, because I really am not sure. Saying  bad things about a person's entire gender and making the listener uncomfortable seems to not be allowed/approved of. In theory at least. 
      " Harassment does not have to be of a sexual nature, however, and can include offensive remarks about a person’s sex. For example, it is illegal to harass a woman by making offensive comments about women in general. "
      I found an interesting bit about harrassment (sexual and non-sexual) in the workplace, that says " Although the law doesn’t prohibit simple teasing, offhand comments, or isolated incidents that are not very serious, harassment is illegal when it is so frequent or severe that it creates a hostile or offensive work environment or when it results in an adverse employment decision (such as the victim being fired or demoted). " Both quotes from here:https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/sexual_harassment.cfm
      Like I say, it may not be at anything like that level, it may be a simple annoyance, I don't know. But it is something to keep in mind that it actually isn't necessarily okay, or something you absolutely have to put up with if it is making you, or starts to make you , really uncomfortable :)
