sex symbols

So throughout this class we have learned how everything degrades woman and makes everything about sex. As much as i want to believe that this isn't true, i came to the understanding this week that men see woman as sex symbols even if that is not what the woman is trying to protrey.
So i was working on Monday Tuesady night, at a fine dining restaurant in Addison, and i was solisited for sex by one of my customers. I did nothing to bring this own, and i wasn't dressed in a provacative manner, infact i had on black pants and a black high collared shirt. This man dined alone and said he was a business man from L.A. and was leaving Wednesday. He sat at my table fro serval hours and i always made simple conversation with him when i walked by to fill his water glass, which is part of my job. So as the night when on his conversation got my inapropiate and he went as far as to bluntly ask me if i was "getting any lovin" to which i replied i had a serious boyfriend and my private life was none of his business. Apparently that answer didn't suite him because he then patted my butt, but apolgized and said he was reaching for my arm. The man made me uncomfortable and i didn't go over there again till it was time to give him his bill, and that time he invited me back to his hotel to "cuddle or watch a movie, or something else, but whatever i wanted" and he said he would make it worth my while. I have hime his change and when he left he left a map to his hotle, the room number, and a phone number.
Since did the average waitress become a sex symbol? It really makes me think that society leads men to belive that this kind of behavior is ok, and it's not. Not everyone wants to be seen like that.
