[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was 22 I was assaulted by a guy at work.  It wasn't rape, but I literally was walking around tables to put something physically between us, and then he cornered me and kissed me on the lips even though I was saying no.  I had never flirted with him.  I went home and told my older brother and his girlfriend. My mother overheard. She told me to tell my father.  He told me to call my boss the next morning (I wasn't working the next morning - this was a part-time job).

When I called my boss and told him"Kevin cornered me and kissed me last night even though I was saying no," you know what my boss's response was?  To imply I was too ugly for anyone to want to kiss me.  He asked, "But why would he want to do that?"  and I weakly said, "I guess because he wanted to." My boss then said, "But he's married, he has like five or six kids."  What do you say to that?

He asked me to write out exactly what happened and bring it to work later.  I gave him the sheet of paper. He spoke with Kevin, Kevin completely denied it.  That was it.  It didn't occur to me to go to the police. Kevin left me alone after that. I kept working there.  My family never mentioned it again.  I rarely think of it.  But you know what?  I know there are other girls/women who DON'T say no, who DON'T tell their bosses, and that guy Kevin is probably doing what he did to me, to them, and worse.  [/quote]

I worked one summer (briefly) for a small business owner who used to like to "accidentally" lean up against me and brush his hands across my body when no one else was looking.  At first it was subtle and I gave him the benefit of the doubt.  After another week or so it became obvious that he was doing it on purpose.  One day, right in front of him, I looked at him, shook my head and told his wife that I simply could not work for them any longer.  I quit and walked out.  And I am sure that she asked her husband what the hell had happened to make me leave like that.  Did he tell her the truth?  No.  But I'm pretty sure that she knew what the truth was anyway.

Does it happen? Yes.  Do most men do anything like this? No way.  There are a lot more Brad Pitts in this world than guys like Kevin or Harvey.[/quote]
