It is this kind of minimizing of someones feelings that is the problem. You have no right to tell someone how they should feel about your words, or that they need to toughen up.
Now I do agree that there are many times people are ridiculous about it. Seems lately you aren't even allowed to tell a woman she looks nice without someone yelling harassment.
But IMO, telling a complete stranger they can put any part of their body in your lap can certainly be construed as sexual harassment, whether they meant it that way or not.
