Do you think my framing is inaccurate given what she said? How would you describe the negative association with being hit on in the quote above?
>Translating "hit on" as "prey on" might be a sign that you have an unhealthy view of human relationships.
Seeing someone cute at a wedding and making a pass is a far cry from what's been happening in academia for decades where power dynamics are often obvious. There's a reason why very few people would have a problem being (tastefully) hit on in a social situation and why people complain about it happening in a professional situation.
