Are there valid questions to ask a victim of sexual harassment?

Asked by funkdaddy (17777points) December 12th, 2017

When do questions drift into victim blaming and how do you find out what lead to the harassment without causing more damage or shifting blame? Does it matter to find out more?

The question is meant to be a general discussion, but was prompted by one of the latest sexual harassment claims at the NFL network. At least 5 grown, adult, men said extremely explicit things to a female coworker. There’s no question the behavior has no place at work and people should be held accountable, but something seems off about the story so far. Does it matter what lead to the harassment?
