Of course you don't believe it, you're a man. You've never had to experience it.

I was sexually harassed and assaulted by the assistant manager. I was injured shortly before the first physical attack. I told the manager, he told me not to worry, he would handle it. He didn't… I filed with the eeoc. The manager signed a sworn affidavit that he had to verbally reprimand ME for sexual harassment, and I exposed my front to get my way. I have been in therapy for over a year more, and cannot work. I have no income, no workers comp, BROKE! I am a basket case. All my career I have done a mans job, now I can't! I have never had a problem with working with men. My best friend is a man. People (men or women), dont let this happen to you! Document everything! If you can, get a $30 mini recorder from wal-mart, and record conversations. By the way, I filed with the eeoc sept. 2010, filed with the police with a witness to one of the assaults. The guy was not arrested, and the eeoc, well… I am still waiting for Advance Auto Parts to be made to be responsible for the actions of their mangers. Ladies stay away from Timothy Bright in South Carolina! Unfortunately he is married, and pretty sure he lied to his wife the reason for him being fired.

Your exactly right that this stems from the world economic culture. I shudder to think of what sexual harrassment goes on in those sweatshops where our cheap goods come from. I don't think there is a feminist movement in China and other emerging capitalist countries with communist governments. Perhaps we can stop sexual harrassment where it begins, the pocketbook. I only hope that the collective pocket of the people are deeper than the deep pockets of the few.

The reason why crimes are so rampent is because all parties involved refuse to take responsibility and remedy the situation. At least the victims refuse to do so because they have few choices and few defenses if things backfire. This is true whether it is domestic violence in the "home" or sweatshops in China, or in America's case, the big retail megastores that repeatedly ignore progressive labor policies.

Unless we are talking about "jokes" , usually sexual harrassment is a power based offense where the victim is a captive audience, and where the only alternative is poverty. I agree that one cannot expect the victim to be a self starter in reporting the harrassment. However it is morally reprehensible to advise women not to report illegal activity in an article.

I truly do not believe 80 percent of women have been sexual harressed . My only distractions I have had in the work place are crappy people ,low wages and nasty women . I have worked aroudn the lowest of lowest type of characters and I have never seen sexual harresment take place .It always been the other way around . Men do not complain about it so why should women .Lets go on with life and realize that we are all human .
