what are your thoughts on in-flight sexual harassment?

have you experienced unwanted sexual advances while on a plane?

do airlines have standard procedures/guidelines for dealing with this?

what is the role of the flight attendant in these cases?
NO seems to work for me . More details would help - was the offender drunk ? Age span here ? As one who grew up before there were all these "laws" and "expectations" we learned to deal with it ourselves - A simple I am not interested , leave me alone seemed to always work if the party was sober. I am not a big believer in expecting others to "fix this stuff"
