The next lawyer chimes in.  Kathy D said:   Actually, unwanted touching
can and may be sexual harassment; the victim does *not* always have to
say no. It depends on the degree and severity of the act, the
relationship of the actor and the alleged victim, etc.,  as well as the
jurisdiction in which you live. For ex, not to pick on your state Kathy
D, but TX courts are terrible about dealing with the issue of sexual
harassment, esp. in the elementary/secondary school setting. (I
specialize in sexual harassment).  In contrast, the NJ courts take a very
strong stance against SH.

As to unwanted bottles and breastfeeding, I was at a seminar today given
by Kay Hoover (wonderful!) and she brought up the depo shots before the
moms leave the hospital. I commented about potential lawsuits for telling
a mom to unnecessarily wean or for giving a bottle against parents
wishes. (I made it clear the comment was in my capacity as a lawyer not
an LLLL).  Heard one nurse grumble what was wrong with one bottle. You
could tell she had an attitude--left her uneaten cake in the middle of my
display until I asked her to remove it.
