But in this case the harassment is from the female coworker. And you seem totally fine with that. Gotta love double standards.

This is no harassment. Why would it be offensive to say someone something personal?

[–] StopJoiningWars 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Because the only reason to, is if she assumed the worst, it's basically implying that anon would have harassed her if she hadn't expounded on her personal sex life without even introducing herself.

It demeans and treats men like psychopaths, when in fact the psychopathic behaviour is that paranoia that leads to rude, aggressive actions from her (and you too apparently, would you seriously say "I'm lesbian" without even saying your name first??)

Not would but could. And if anon had harassed her, it would have been probably no consequence. She probably lived something like that, and possibly more than once. And that's enough to justify her reaction.

Imagine living in a world where everyone with blue eyes could hurt anyone freely, including you. Not all blue-eyed person will be willing to hurt you, but after being hurt a few times, you'll consider every blue-eyed person as a possible threat, and you'll act accordingly. “Not all men” are willing to hurt women, but all men are possible threats.

Thus, it's no paranoia. It's logical and sane.

and you too apparently, would you seriously say "I'm lesbian" without even saying your name first??

I'm a man, so I couldn't say that but I wouldn't feel aggressed or insulted if a woman did that to me.

I raise two daughters, and I want them to grow freely and securely. It's not the case today and I'll help and support the women who try to make the world a better place for them! Even if that means that lesbians say their lesbianness to me before their name…
