Wrong.
“One obstacle they don’t have to face in their careers is refusing unwanted sexual advances. That’s not fair.”
My significant other is the union welder. Last year around Christmas, he went into the HR office to log a PTO request.
I’ve been wondering when abusive women would start to be pulled out of the woodwork.
Oh, gimme a break.
There was a “feminist” teacher at my old school who used to publicly shame her undergrad female students for wearing make up or dresses, and she hated men. My husband took a class from her and on the first day, she said she would ban men from her classroom if she could. She was also very transphobic and would teach…
it on happens to women seemingly more because more men are in positions of power. Shift that dynamic and you’d hear just as many male accusers coming forward. It’s not a guy thing, it’s a power thing and men tend to have the power right now. buy hey, #metoo #nonotyoujustme
Holy fuck! Woman accuses, “Don’t you dare have any doubt that it’s true.” Man accuses, “He might be making it up.” This double standard bullshit needs to end.
On one of my student teacher pracs I had a supervisor who was an avowed feminist. We were warned about her before we even started the prac. The girl student teacher could do no wrong, but us 3 guys at the same school apparently couldn’t teach the kids to tie their shoelaces... she basically hated men.
To me, quitting this quickly strongly suggests she’s concerned there’s more out there that hasn’t surfaced yet. And – assuming these particular allegations are correct – there is always more out there. Bosses who do this rarely stop at just one victim.
Also plenty of female bosses who play grabass and (correctly) assume they can get away with it because they’re women.
There’s just shitty people all over the place. This country has it in their heads that it’s all dudes or all people of a certain color. People are fucked up and weird. We treat each other like shit and it gets even worse when there is a power dynamic. It’s got nothing to do with dicks and vaginas. Look at the outbreak…
It happens to more women, and it happens much more frequently to women. But there are plenty of instances where men are harassed by women they work for/look up to. This doesn’t need to turn into a competition. Anyone who experiences harassment or assault is a victim.
1. I believe accusers. So yeah, I believe this gentlemen. Sorry not sorry.
I mean, #MeToo and all, but it has to be said... there is a whooooole lotta reckoning coming for some toxic women in the workplace. Because for every ass pinch or promotion pass-over from a Gross Office Dude, I got at least two hardcore flashbacks of a female supervisor traumatizing me with verbal abuse and body…
Don’t get me wrong... I’m happy to see a nationwide reckoning for gross, predatory men in power. But I’m also glad to see that women are getting nailed for this behavior too, because it does happen (a lot). Hopefully this can help the conversation shift to the fact that it’s the powerful position — and not the gender…
“If only women would replace all men in positions of power, sexual harassment would be a thing of the past!”
Now, let’s make the Republicans that supported Roy Moore to the very end become stuck to that shit forever.
How does this theory deal with the fact, that all over the world, most the jobs that are dirty, physically exhausting and sometimes downright dangerous are almost exculxively done by men, aka ‘the wimps’?
