sexual harassment and why it is important for ladies to stand up for themselves

i think that this is a matter which i should not keep a secret, because in doing so, i would have enabled many other women to fall into the same situation as i have been.

sexual harassment in the workplace, was more common than i thought it would be. i actually thought it was not that common an occurence until it happened much closer to home.

my boss is a selfish, disgusting vile jerk that deserves a tight slap and getting hauled off to jail. but he will be getting away with it because his employees need the money, have the burden of feeding families, the fear of going out and not being able to find another job, et cetera.

i haven't been violated...yet. but honestly, what kind of a boss puts his hand on your arm two days after knowing you? and barely a week later, a pat on the head. and then asks for your number.t i feel that at any time, my safety is at stake, and if i do not get out now, sooner or later, i will end up in a situation where i will regret till the day i die. i do not want to be such a person. the things he say to other female colleagues, and his actions, spells a lawsuit. and get this, he is a lawyer. the irony.

(this is probably where i discovered a little bit of a feminist streak in me. no i am not going to be running off and burning  bras anytime soon).

i am quitting tomorrow, and there is a weight lifted off my shoulders because i know that i do not have to work for such a disgusting animal anymore. i haven't decided whether or not to tell him the reason of my leaving. somehow, the thought of saying "because i do not respect you and i think you are disgusting" seems very satisfactory to me, but the fear that this might harm my safety pushes at my thoughts.

if you want to know where i work for just email me. lol. especially if you are a girl.
