oh I needed to read this and liked it too.
I was victim of sexual harrasment in office and I kept quite for 2 months. Then I finally spoke up when the condition got worsened and I just could not work anymore.
Initally I felt better that I spoke up but came up is that I am passing wrong signal which is not true at all - there was a case filed and all that I won - but I was so surprused that these are not politicians who are saying there must have been something that I did - but educated people working in multi national companies - the whole episode has been a real deal for me , a lesson and lot more. At the end I got better work condition and no guy is literally putting himself on me anymore but literally people are so damn weird - because they felt challenged that this is happening at their place and any women can come tomorrow and raise a question at them. Weak pussies - most of them ditching their wives and putting on at women in office
You are right and, thank you for sharing that. yes. It gets a bit challenging especially when people will try putting the blame on you- that you were wearing this and that clothes, you were acting too friendly/flirting or they simply would rationalize/ gaslight the incident.That's one of the reasons I wrote this- its not about me. Its about others who felt threatened verbalizing their experience to others.
hmmm right
