I’m a man

I don’t think they do. I think anyone who says something like that gets off on the discomfort they are causing another human being. It’s not necessarily about the sex. Or they’re really just that fucking stupid, which... is always a possibility.

I am not saying women are unable to lie, I am saying in my personal experience I have never, ever heard of a woman “getting ahead” as a result of these situations. If she lied to get the coworker fired, it didn’t work. If she lied to get promoted, it didn’t work. If she lied to get a raise, it didn’t work. So I am…

Bro. My male coworkers complement me on my clothes all the time. And I don’t count how many times they’ve bumped into me. A lot. Because we rush around in a small space. It’s not a problem because they’re not creeps. I think you’re paranoid. And I think you’re paranoid because you know you have a problem with women.

Well then, you don’t have anything to worry about. ;) You do you, but I’d say it’s probably more common for people to bond with other work people, and that’s what we’re all arguing about here. If you don’t have work friendships or relationships with anybody, period, then you have a pretty different perspective on this…

Wait wait wait. I thought you treated the women differently than the men for your own safety. So are you saying you treat all of your coworkers with the same level of respect, or do you treat the women as if they are radioactive cootie-carriers in the middle of taking a deep breath in order to cry rape?

Ok, so since more than one woman has been sexually harassed or discriminated against at work—most of us, in fact—then we should act accordingly, no? Treat every man like a discriminating predator? Hamper them at their jobs just in case? Or! Or...men could just act like normal, professional, respectful adults at work.

Motherfucker please.

The most basic rule of all and the one these trogs willfully pretend to not get:

I don’t have any female friends or family members who haven’t been sexually harassed at work. I’ve been working for 15 years and have been sexually harassed several times, only to have HR shove it under the rug or say “oh he’s a nice guy, I don’t believe that” instead of formally investigating. The more powerful man…

I literally laughed out loud at your post. You’re right. Men don’t ruin women’s professional lives by accusing them of sexual harassment. They don’t have to. They can just claim the woman flirted. Then she’s the office tart. Consider that: A woman has to claim that a man harassed her to hurt his reputation. A man just…

Your absolutely right I won’t be in a situation where a man could accuse me of inappropriate behavior, because I don’t go around sexually harassing my co-workers.

Sure. But I wouldn’t make up a false sexual harassment claim against them. That’s an incredibly stupid way to deal with a co-worker you hate.

As a man: What the hell is honi on about? Seriously? He sounds like such a “nice guy” (TM).

As someone who has filed a sexual harassment complaint, it does not take one complaint. My harasser did not experience repercussions until 4 other women made complaints. All 5 of us had to provide months of evidence of inappropriate contact. The asshat even admitted to harassing women because someone had turned him…

It’s very simple: Don’t make SEXIST (not “sexist,” as sexism is a real thing) jokes. Don’t comment on a woman’s looks, body, or imagined sex life. Don’t stare at her tits. Don’t touch her. Speak to her in a professional, polite, friendly manner JUST LIKE YOU’RE ABLE TO PULL OFF WHEN SPEAKING TO MEN.

honest question—is it normal to have dinner with colleagues one on one? i could see doing that in a group setting, but otherwise i would find the whole thing pretty unpleasant.

In fact, more recent research has shown that everyone freezes. It is momentary, and it is when our brains are (without our conscious input) taking in as much information as possible and deciding to fight, flee, or submit (what we commonly refer to when we say “freeze”). Submission can look like freezing, it can look…

Yeah, that’s what happened to Dov Charney, the founder of American Apparel. He was outed by his board and investors after the bazillionth sexual misconduct charge/driving the company into bankruptcy. At this point it’s like, which CEO’s/high powered business men AREN’T sexual predators? I remember when American…
