Need Advice or SupportIs it too much to ask be a woman in the workplace without immediately being harassed?
Every single job (but Wendy's lmao) I've worked for has had a single guy who will not stop leaving me alone. I finally got a new job, and at fucking orientation I get this 38 year old who's already into me (a 21 year old) and calling me his 'new friend' (🤢) I was already uncomfortable but just hoped he was odd, but no, he's a creep and asked me to 'hang out'. I know I should have said no but I'm honestly just not good at setting boundaries, so I just avoided answering it and ignored it and acted normal the next few days, even when he kept following me on breaks and trying to get me to hang out with him after work.
It's been two weeks and one fucking day and already I can't escape this, every fucking job. Thank God we got a supervisor today who seems nice enough and I hope he will listen since my sister and mom convinced me to tell him. I'm just worried it doesn't count as harressment and nothing will be done and everyone will know and gossip or something like that.
It feels impossible to avoid this problem as a woman.
For men, the bro code; they know TIMs are men. And it is a respectable way for them to exercise mysogyny in a way that makes women's lives worse and treats women like shit. But it is also wanting to distance themselves from the creepy mentally disturbed men pretending to be "women" so that no one ever puts them in the same category as those other men.
Women are TRAs because of the "be kind" brainwashing of female socialization. Because they are afraid of the invading male TIMs, who are unspeakably predatory and just as aggressively male as all other men. And because of the female socialized habit of making excuses for whatever men do.
I thought it was very telling how men revolted against Budweiser after their trans ads yet are silent about trans impacting women. Mess with their beer no way, but the women? Who cares.
