Because practically every ‘decent’ Republican I know was just last week screaming that they’d never vote for Trump in a million years as he was an evil, scheming bigot who would destroy the nation.

Exactly. There’s this idea that women just don’t know what we want, and we need a man to show us. I know he thought that I’d call him after he randomly kissed me and say I’d been wrong all along. I don’t believe that he thought I’d feel squicked out and horrified. He’s a legitimately handsome guy, but his personality…

Yes, in theory it is. In reality, it just isn’t. It has to be way more serious than that for any action to be taken. That’s real life, unfortunately.

Everyone is right, it was unpleasant, but it was only a cheek kiss, viewed by no-one. And no-one in the real world is going to see it as a problem. Or even believe it happened.

Exactly. They don’t even understand how terrifying this kind of behaviour is for women.

Thanks. I will do.

Believe me, if he ever does anything beyond the wide range of normal social interaction, I’ll act. But so far, everything could be put down me simply misunderstanding an overly friendly, outgoing guy.

No. Actually, I’m hoping after next month I’ll never see him again anyway. We stop working in the same building then. We don’t have HR, and as I say, he never does anything visibly inappropriate. So it bugs me, but there’s no point going further.

Co-worker. Nothing he does would count as harassment. It just sucks.

That’s horrific. It definitely was not your fault at all - there is no possible way to make some people leave you alone, it’s not your responsibility to make him leave and you are not responsible for his behaviour. It’s terrible.

You could just decide to say ‘Ok, that’s cool, just thought I’d ask!’ and walk away, instead. It’s really easy. There are a million reasons why people say no. Often, that reason has nothing to do with you.

I have a situation like this. A guy I have told no to 27 times. He regularly texts me and then asks me why I didn’t reply. BECAUSE I’VE ALREADY SAID NO 27 TIMES!

Yep, watching ‘Animal House’ again, I got really freaked out by the implied ‘hilarious’ child rape.

Yup, still too soon.

Dandelion, dandruff, what’s the dif?

I would watch all of these movies. Repeatedly. John Cho is wonderful.

Yes, winter usually makes it worse. Sea and Sun are the best remedy, if done very carefully. You mustn’t get burned, or it will get worse, so it’s factor 50 and take it gradually.

Believe me, I know what that’s like. I have had so many random strangers ask me what’s wrong with me or pull their kids away from me - it’s just thick dry skin, for crying out loud.

Actually, in my case it’s at a hospital. I live in Spain and it’s provided by social security (I love my social healthcare). You strip off, step into a cabin and get blasted by the light tubes for a few seconds, building gradually up to a few minutes. Three times a week for about six to ten weeks. It really helps with…

Yes, I remember my mother floating around in the Dead Sea when I was a kid. It really helps. Coal tar smells so terrible, I’ve always hated it. It never even worked at all for me, either.
