Female Sexual Harassment

[vintage39]

Seems to me , this is more common than people realise . Why are there rarely (if ever ) any "historic" allegations against these women ?
Unwanted sexual attention is never nice , if you're a young and male it's worse because people say "way hay , lucky lad " etc .
Sick to death of double standards

Girls who grow up without dads or brothers are at a disadvantage, but there are millions of years of natural selection at work here.

I can back that up. I have a sister who's not quite two years younger than me and always seemed to be trying to push my buttons way back when.

But, as far as I know, she doesn't do that any longer.

Okay, this thread has now passed from 'male wishful thinking' through the 'lets whine about wimmin' zone to the 'misogynists anonymous' one.
Honestly, sometimes I despair of us mens.

How is it "misogynist" ? I am just pointing out truths , about what happened to me and other young men at the hands of women .

When I was a slip of a lad and just starting work, there was this woman at the company I worked at who was in her early thirties. She used to talk to me and would say "you're big" (I'm pretty tall) and would then go on to ask "is everything big?". This used to embarrass me extremely at that early age and would make me blush like a beetroot (much to her enjoyment). Even though it could probably be considered harassment, I actually enjoyed it and used to fantasise about it later on at home - wishing I had the courage to say "yes, everything is big, would you like to find out?" and seeing where it went from there. If I'd only been a bit older, I would have taken things a step further.

I had to switch careers and started a new job in the beginning of 2017. It's a very social environment, where team work and caring for the needs of others is paramount.

That said I've never been hugged, kissed, or had my butt slapped by more female employees in my life! And no, I'm not a male stripper!

Imagine if I was doing the same to my female co-workers without first asking for consent?

The other day I heard a guy on the radio talking about violence, he's a chap who is in charge of security for the great and the good, politicians, celebrities etc, and apparently also has written the best-selling non-fiction book about violence. Anyway, he said that if you ask a man when the last time was that he felt like he was in a physically intimidating situation, the response is usually 'Oh, six months ago', or something like that. But you ask a woman, and invariably the response will be 'yesterday', or 'this afternoon'.

Another interesting point that I heard made by a woman, she said that if a man wants to know what it's like to be a female in the workplace, he should imagine the following scenario: imagine that there is a gay guy that you work with, who is 60lbs heavier than you. He continually compliments you, tells you that you smell nice, that you look great in that outfit etc. Would you be comfortable in that situation, or not?

Both interesting points, I thought. It's true that women do sexually harass men, but it's not the same type of problem as the other way around.

That's why Muslims created the burka. Like that no more harassement problems for the women.


Seriously speaking, that was a point of the Muslim Professor of the Oxford University Tarik Ramadan.

"Muslim women don't have to wear the veil, but it would be better.
But Muslim women have to wear loose clothing."

By the way... I was harassed at least five times by women (two times at job included).
Only one time at job it was very disturbing, because the woman told to her other female colleagues, that she find me attractive and had the supports of two of them.
She was drunk and tried to kiss me in front of everybody.

After repeating politely that I didn't want to have anything with her (she was an old unattractive vulgar woman in my point of view), she insisted during at least one hour. She even made a bad comedy, shouting : "Do you find me disgusting?"
Sadly I had to be verbally rude and I almost looked to be the "bad guy".

She even called a male colleague who had an affair with her in the past and told him that I had slept with her.
Later he tried to know a little bit more and I understood that she told him, that I surely had sexual problems, because I didn't want to have sex with her.

If I publicly have had the same behaviour with a woman than her behaviour and if she would have filed a complaint... as male, I probably would have had my reputation degraded and in legal trouble.

You keep using that word, but i don`t think you know what it means.

See, that's the crux of the matter. Notice the description. 60lbs heavier, in other words not attracted too. But if the guy was a hunk she would consider it flirting.
