The eunuchs who talk and grovel to women in the work-place, gyms, parties, etc..deserve what they get, as soon as you acknowledge (and sometimes don´t) a woman’s presence, you leave yourself open to dismissal, lawsuits and even police action. Despite so many men getting screwed, no lessons are ever learned.
I mentioned the Police, because the line between Sexual Harassment & Sexual Assault is very thin.
Definition of Sexual assault: Can be verbal, visual, or anything that forces a person to join in unwanted sexual contact or attention.
Office Christmas parties are death traps for men.
I don’t think it’s fair or accurate to blame men for not learning the lessons of our biased sexual harassment culture. As you say, accusations from women can be made whether a man misbehaves or not.
Current sexual harassment legislation is not capable of treating men fairly or treating women as responsible adults. Instead, it treats men as predators and women as innocent (and capricious) victims. It is in dire need of revision.
As far as the make-up thing goes, a lot of the jobs that I have interviewed for ‘recommended’ make up and skirts as part of the dresscode for female workers, (instead of trousers, which I prefer). I also had a friend who’s manager had words with her for ‘not looking smart enough’ when she turned up identical to how she normally looks, but without make up….My point being that wearing make up (and skirts) is not always a choice (at least if you want to get/ keep a job).
You seem to be suggesting that women have no choice in how they dress for work and many would rather dress down but are not allowed to. Not so. Women as a rule, dress to maximise their attractiveness and they take this behaviour into the workplace where it doesn’t belong. Men and employers must accept it and not comment on it or else.
Women are not forced to wear make-up or skirts. If they are explicitly or implicitly “required” to, then I’m sure that there are grounds for a lawsuit (and women in the workplace are typically very fond of lawsuits). However, I’m not aware of any woman that has complained about being allowed to make themselves up and dress inappropriately at work. The complaints are always about how they should be allowed to dress as they please and lord help an employer who says otherwise.
It is important for men to be aware that an allegation of sexual harassment / assault, can be made OUTSIDE, the work space.
The Christmas / New Year’s work parties are full of traps.
However if you do not go, you will be seen as by Management as no being part of the team, so wait until the last minute and phone in with some excuse why you cannot attend this years fantastic party and how sad you are.
Work Survival Rules:
Do not speak with women, unless you have to and ONLY about work.
“Hello” and “goodbye” if you must.
Never give compliments.
Never give gifts, no matter how small.
If you have to speak with a women leave the office door open / have a witness present.
Never be alone with a women, in lifts, canteen’s, offices, etc…
Use a recorder to tape conversation.
Never do favor’s for women, lift boxes, change the water bottle, etc..this can be used against you.
If a women is sick, do NOT touch her, report it to Management.
Never treat women “as one of the boy’s.”
When speaking to your friends, look around and make sure that there is no women within hearing distance, even if you are not speaking to her, she can still lodge a complaint against you.
Never socialize with women inside or outside work.
Break these rules at your peril.
As I suggested at the end of the Toxic Women article, things are not this bad if you look at probabilities. In the scheme of things, it’s unlikely that a man will fall foul of such a situation. The real problem, is that when a man does fall foul of a woman out to harm him, he has little to no protection from his employer or from the state.
I’m a woman and the oversensitivity of women in the work place makes me SICK. We are sexual by nature. It is in our nature to flirt. If he’s not making overly lewd comments repeatedly or he’s not touching you what’s the problem?
The system is often rigged to where the man (and it’s always men where this is applied to) must prove his innocence in the matter. Just merely having an accusation of sexual harassment can end careers!
In the US Army, for instance, when a woman soldier accuses someone of sexual harassment, an officer (often a company commander) conducts an investigation of the matter. Invariably, that officer never finds any evidence that can be applied to a court martial. However, because the accusation often goes into the personnel file of the accused, it can be a serious impairment of his chances for promotion.
I had the extraordinarily rare opportunity to investigate an opposite situation, where a man was sexually harassed by a woman. The man in question was a lower-enlisted man, and the woman was an officer. Based on what both parties told me in interviews, and based on interviews I conducted by the unit’s service members who knew both parties, it’s clear that the woman was known to be a flirt, and the man had a journal of the incidents (he was single, but seeing a civilian woman). Though a journal might’ve been considered relatively strong evidence, the Judge Advocate ruled it inadmissable, in spite of other journals submitted in cases where women were sexually harassed. In the end, this case wasn’t prosecutable. Nothing was done to the 1st Lieutenant.
And no record of the incident was placed in HER personnel file.
A year ago I worked for a company of around 500 staff and only 8 workers there were men. One guy there confided in me and said I was never to speak about it as he was afraid he would lose his job if it got out.
He said that he liked the attention and as a man he loved the sex but the arrangement with his boss was getting out of hand. She basically had him when she wanted him, or whenever anyone of her friends in the office wanted him, otherwise it would be down to the job centre. In the end he found another job but it went on for about a year and no one found out.
