I'm really talking about substantially worse behavior than you're talking about there, weird. When I'm talking about sexual harassment, I'm not talking "enjoying the view" or saying someone is a nice piece of ass behind their back or discussing periods at work. I really don't want to go into specifics because
jesus christ, but um ... yeah.
Women are not physically violent.
Er. So this is false.
Just to be clear about this, I put a lot of effort into not being closed up alone in a room with a man ever, too. Like elevators, stairwells, etc. If someone's within 5 feet of me and I don't know them well, there's usually a part of me that's making a getaway plan. Because men basically feel free to touch me, take photos without asking permission, generally act megacreepy, etc., and I know that if anything happens to me, I'm going to be blamed. Not from "rumors" but from personal experience.
Every morning before I go out, I'm careful to wear three layers up top in order to look "proper." I don't wear anything above the knee anymore. A few weeks ago, a Muslim woman told me how much she loved my "style" 9_9 Sometimes I actually wish hijab was more mainstream in this country. I'm that tired of being harassed.
I think that there's selective pressure to look like you're "trying" to hire women, or at least, at the university I work at, that's basically been confirmed. They discriminate against female hires at the same time as they pretend very hard that they're ~committed to diversity~ but all of the women who they
might hire are just "bad fits."
You know I never post in this topic, or post in topics related to this now sudden new topic. But don't you guys think you're getting way off topic here? These discussions never go anywhere good on here so why not let this go back to the election stuff?
That's probably smart.
Yeah, I concur. Ok, I'm done. Sorry for bringing it up again, dudes. I wanted to clarify my position, but I should have done that a long while back.
