Have some women dealt with sexual harassment all their lives?

[ThisNThat]

There's this video going around by the Daily Mail showing a woman on a bike being followed by a guy on a motorcycle, filming her being sexually haraassed, verbally by a guy in a van.

She retaliates by ripping the mirror of his van.

People argued that didn't justify vandalism, but then some women chimed in on how, as a woman, a man doesn't know how it feels to be sexually harassed ALL their lives.

Some even cited having been sexually harassed by men while they were in their teens....they make it sound like it happens almost daily to them, but...really? I don't know of any female friends that had this issue.

It would happen to them...OCCASIONALLY, but never with the frequency that some of these women have claimed.

Think some of these claims are overexaggerated?

Remember, it's only sexual harassment if she doesn't find you attractive.

Depends on where that experiment was done at. Location results in different cultural norms. Poor areas result in more primal instincs over more wealthy areas.

But I think women do get hit on more than men. As far as sexual harassment... not sure about that one.

Hmmmm.....I had a guy take a liking to me at work a few years ago. He knew I was married but went on about it anyways. It got to be every time I walked into the building I would hope I didnt run into him. One day we were chatting and he touched me on my shoulder, for no reason, but he made it part of the conversation. ugh. Eventually he was chatting with me as I was sitting in my cube, he was yawning, I asked him why he was so tired, he said he stayed up late surfing. I asked him what could possibly be so interesting on the web that would justify going to bed really late. Without skipping a beat he said "I was watching Porn"

Whaaaaaattttttt
Theeeeeeeee
Fvuuuuuuucccckkkkk???????

LOL, men can be stupid.

Yes, men have made me feel weird at work. I caught one peeking over my cube thinking he would check on me as I was working....thing is, I was walking TO my cube and could see him. Creepy. Then there was my university professor (think Mr. Mackey from South Park) who was helpful to me while I was in school. At graduation I told him thank you and gave him a friendly hug. He let his hand slip down my back ad cupped my a$$. That was actually a very defeating moment. I thought he was helping me because he believed in me, not because he had any other motives.

There was also a time when a guy decided to whistle at me as he was driving by. He ended up rear ending someone (thankfully he was driving slowish) my friends razzed me that I absolutely should have given him my number, lol

lol, the life and times. El Payaso isnt incorrect. If she likes the attention she wont consider it harassing. Thing is, some men are true beta slobbery types and dont know how to hold frame and feel out the situation. They just go all slobbery in at work. That is weird.

Sounds like Deesade was going to be made into a snack by that Cougar. It can get really uncomfortable, as he pointed out.

I agree that Women do tend to get hit on more than men. And many men don't know when to back off. That being said I also think a lot of women bring it on themselves. I'm sorry but when women are wearing yoga pants so fvcking tight that I can tell if their labia are innie or outtie.. And I can tell if they shave it, trim it, draw a picture with it, or run a full jungle... it's time to exercise a little conservatism and commonsense on their part.

 

[sazc]

What do you think would have happened if I did that to a 20 year old in plain view in the same situation?

Probably would have been accosted by some white-knight (like the white-knight biker in the OP's story). Quite possibly arrested.

But that's the point we are at. Female sexuality is encouraged, male sexuality is evil.

Men need to be shrewd.

If you were all over a 20 year old like that cougar was all over you, you would have been considered a nasty desperate leech, and probably shunned at the party.
What she did to you was wholly unfair. It really doesn't matter if she was female and you were not, unwanted attention is unwanted attention. Making people uncomfortable isnt cool.

 

[sazc]

@logicallefty This is true. It's frustrating when you have females compain about 'attention' when they are dressed in an attention seeking manner. That's when El Payaso's theory comes into play.

BTW...I thought you were going to get banned from the forums today by that new member? Glad to see he couldnt take you down

Lol at innie or outtie.

I was sexually assaulted by a co-worker recently. She stuck her hands down my pants. She also assaulted another male co-worker. Should I call the police?

Didn't think much of it at the time, but since I'm not attracted to her.. maybe I should file a lawsuit. What do you guys think?

My cousin married his high school sweetheart. She is tall, blond, and beautiful. They lived across the street from me, and I was around her a lot. The thing that struck me the most about her was that she hated being beautiful. She had an evil stepmother who began to hate her as soon as she became hot enough to be threatening in the looks department, and kicked her out of the house at age 16. She eventually divorced my cousin, and has been in a LTR ever since, mostly to protect her from men, I think. She has a self-hating complex about being beautiful. I only know that from being related to her for a while, but I think a lot of beautiful women have similar issues caused by their looks.

 

[logicallefty]

@Bible_Belt how does your cousin's ex dress? Does she flaunt her girly parts or dress conservatively?

 

[Bible_Belt]

Extremely conservative. The only time I ever saw her cleavage was at her wedding. She doesn't even wear makeup, or at least not hardly at all.
