My sexual harassment story:

[proud2BlibKansan]

I was working in a bar. I was 22 years old. One night as I was cleaning off a table, I leaned over to wipe the table and one of the guys sitting there reached up, grabbed my breast and twisted it hard. I dropped the rag and slapped him as hard as I could. I still remember seeing my hand print on his face.

The whole bar erupted. The band jumped off the stage, pulled the guy out of his chair and beat the shit out of him. (My boyfriend was in the band and they were kind of protective.)

The guy left in an ambulance and I pressed charges. Sexual assault. He pled guilty so I didn't have to testify.

Since then whenever women talk about sexual harassment I tell them to slap the shit out of the guy. That's what Anita Hill should have done and that's what these women Herman Cain harassed should have done. No I'm normally not a violent person but I had my hand on that man's face before I could even think. It was a gut reaction. But the best part is the feeling of empowerment it gave me. I have never worried since then about what I would do if I was harassed. I also don't worry about my personal safety. When I was 22 I weighed 98 lbs and was just over 5 feet tall. And I HURT a 200 pound man. Well me and the guys in the bar who beat the crap out of him.
