In reply to the discussion: If the HUNDREDS of men who sexually harrassed me got locked up, they would need 48576 jails [View all]redstatebluegirl
(12,265 posts)61. First one in high school.
Stupid as a box of rocks football player would yell "there goes those big boobs" every time I walked anywhere close to him. Then the guy in college who pushed me against the elevator and asked me if I knew "how good he was in the sack" (I said no, but I'd love to see a sack over your face right now). The guys in the meeting who would stare at my chest and say, "you did good in hiring that one boss". The guys who would cat call me as I walked by construction sites on my way to work. The list goes on and on. It made me hate my body, something that went on for years.
No man could ever tell me they understand what sexual harrassment really is, and how it makes a woman feel. Sorry guys, you can't walk the walk on this one.

Me too. It started when I was 15 working at Burger King. It steadily continued from there on.

This is probably the wrong place to recommend that. Better if you go start your own thread...
