The next time you are eating an ice lolly in the office, be warned: you could be sexually harassing your colleagues.
That, at least, is the bizarre suggestion from a group of lawyers calling for new sexual harassment laws to include women who eat “too provocatively” in public.
The Finnish team has even released a video showing a young female office worker sucking an ice lolly in a highly suggestive manner.
Male colleagues look away awkwardly as she moans and licks the lolly in the minute-long clip.
A question then appears on the screen asking: “Is this sexual harassment? We know the answer.”
The Finnish Lawyers Association, which represents thousands of legal experts in the country, said on its website: “We have released this video to raise a very difficult issue. Sexual harassment in the workplace can target anyone, men or women.
“We fully intended to throw the cat among the pigeons and hope to stimulate debate about what is a very tricky legal area.” – Daily Mail
