I’m a little late on this, since it didn’t happen this week.... But I got an offer for a tenure-track job.
Any home where there’s nice people of Polish descent.
I have been vegetarian for 12 years now and I swear to god I will die a fucking vegetarian so please back off?
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…
Much like acquaintance rape, we’ve moved from a world where it’s effectively impossible for women who are sexually harassed at work to see any kind of justice to one in which it’s simply extraordinarily difficult and uncommon. And also like acquaintance rape, this had lead to panic and fury among men, who feel that…
Then why did the fucking scumbag owner of a POPULAR Chicago bar, who I sued for extensive sexual harassment including assault, in 1992 not only WIN the case brought against him by me (and 3 other women—though he had actually done it to EVERY WOMAN who worked for him), but suffered ZERO loss of business or respect? The…
“HR will most likely go with the accuser, out of fear of a lawsuit”
Bull shit. You are talking out of your ass. The last man who harassed me, the only one I went to HR about, is still employed and only got a talking-to. And unless you live under a rock and have for the past few decades, you’ve heard story after story about women enduring years of sexual harassment and discrimination…
So you walk around with this belief that there are a significant number of women who will lie to HR to get you fired for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
I had a boss who skated out of a sexual harassment charge. You know the kind of shit he used to do?
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.
I remember when I had to inform a young 20-ish woman that the reason she felt so shamed was because our professor had just sexually harassed her in front of the entire class. Since it was a science class it was predominantly, you guessed it, male. And most of them laughed while it was going on.
My gut feeling is that many of these men are guilty of harassment themselves and are now panicking at the idea that they’re about to get busted.
You know what you call a woman harassed at work who didn’t report it? EMPLOYED.
Damned trog on Twitter wrote that these women coming forward now are lying and disgusting because they didn’t come forward earlier. Cannot even see the irony in his comment.
As someone who is constantly being harassed at her work I wish men at my workplace would just implode.
I signed one too friend. I am singing like a fucking bird. Come find me Harvey. Come fucking find me. Since you worked there you know the solution. Have Meryl Poster put this douchebag on a chain. She is the only person on planet earth who can put him in his place...and she is a piece of work herself. Perhaps more…
As a former employee, I’m glad this was published. I also wish I hadn’t signed my life away in NDAs.
My non-tenure-track colleagues were unionizing as I prepared to leave my last institution. After a grueling battle with the university’s legal team, we voted to strike because they would not budge.
