Sexual harassment - the myth, the legend, the complete bullshit
HOME BACK TO RANTS E-MAIL
    NOTE: This rant was originally posted on my old site, which has been defunct for several years now. So while it wasn't recently that I attended this class, everything else is still, (unfortunately,) still quite accurate.
     I recently had the opportunity to attend a sexual harassment class, (okay, it wasn't so much an opportunity as something I was forced to do for work,) and after spending two hours watching videos and listening to this woman yammering on, I did manage to learn something very important. These people are fuckin' nuts! They remind me of those conspiracy nuts. You know the people I mean. But these people actually seem to believe that if a man pays a woman a compliment, or says anything that isn't directly related to work, then it must be sexual harassment.
     Bullshit.
     Once again in this society we are taking something that is a relatively small problem and blowing it WAY out of proportion. These mental midgets are taking things too far. I remember a few years ago at a place I was working, a guy actually got fired because he told a female co-worker that the sweater she was wearing looked good on her. This is NOT sexual harassment people! This is a compliment. We need to learn to tell the difference and do away with all this "Zero Tolerance" horseshit.
     The simple fact is that there are very few actual sexual harassment cases, and a whole bunch of cases where some chick blew things WAY out of proportion. Or sometimes they just make shit up and call it harassment. I've seen that happen too. What a lot of these poor women have been brainwashed into believing is that something as simple as a co-worker asking them out for a drink is harassment. Once again, this is NOT harassment. And I think it's high time these feminist nazis give it a rest.
     And I keep talking about women here because that's the only half of the population that it seems to matter if this happens to. In the class they did mention something about men being victims of harassment too, but they added that as kind of an afterthought. Right at the end. "Oh yeah, guys can be victims of this too. Have a nice day and drive safely." They don't believe that, and they don't care, which is why these seminars are ALWAYS run by women.
     The sad thing is, it's getting to the point in this country where guys are afraid to ask chicks out. You can't give a woman a compliment anymore, like telling her she looks nice or has great taste in clothing or anything like that. And you certainly can't say anything more suggestive like "That's a nice dress. It would look great in a ball on my floor tomorrow morning." You can't even joke around with shit like that anymore, because now you can be fired for it. Or if you're not at work, she can call the cops on you.
     Then some of these chicks have the nerve to start complaining about how hard it is to find a nice guy. Ya think? Maybe if these militant feminists weren't so busy chasing us all away there would be some around. So it's your own goddamn fault.
     But that leads me to a little side point. Most of these women aren't looking for a nice guy anyway. Not really. I can't even count the number of women I know who had a chance to be with, or actually WERE with, that nice guy they SAID they wanted, and then dumped him for a bastard who treats her like shit. Maybe if these women were more honest and upfront about what they were really looking for, they could find it a whole lot faster.
     But of course, none of that really matters if they are gonna keep screaming sexual harassment every time some guy so much as looks at them. They keep harping on this idea of "unwanted sexual advances". Well, c'mon here! First of all, every time a guy says something complimentary to a chick, it's not necessarily a "sexual advance." And second, and probably more importantly, how in the hell is someone supposed to know what is welcome or unwelcome until they ask? These people seem to think the best solution is if you don't know if something is welcome or not, don't do it. That doesn't seem to me to answer the question, but instead avoids it, which solves nothing. And what if doctors and researchers had followed that same type of thinking. If you don't know if something works, don't try it. We'd still be chopping off hands to cure a hangnail.
     The bottom line is this. We all need to lighten up a little. Every day there are new rules and laws and regulations introduced in out society, and their sole purpose seems to be to make our lives just a little more difficult. And I'll repeat, I firmly believe the first step on the path to happier lives is we all need to FUCKING LIGHTEN UP! Oh, and maybe if we all smile and ignore them, these fem-nazis and all the other Holier-than-thou groups like them will fade away and become nothing more than a bad memory.
     I can dream, can't I?
