Yukon Court Narrows Definition of Harassment

donaldcameron1 submitted this article from the National Post regarding a recent Appeals Court decision in the Yukon about what constitutes harassment. The court claimed that "an "objective" standard must be met so the "words convey a threat of serious bodily harm to a reasonable person," rather than someone simply feeling afraid. This is good news, since it makes it much harder for a woman to make a false harassment claim against a man by inventing perceived threats. After all, just the existence of men today seems to threaten women, or at least the radical feminists would like us to think so.Source: The National Post [Canadian newspaper]
