It was then how I learned how hard it is for women. How hard this world can be for us when we are trying to be taken seriously and help our community. How easily jerks can destroy the lives of women.

My first experience of workplace sexual harassment was when my mom got her first real office job after graduating from college when I was in high school. She was so excited to be taken “seriously.” Her bossed isolated her and kissed her. She never had that type of job again.

And I promised myself I would never let those kind of guys win. I would work hard my whole life to put myself in positions of power to change things. To end the violence & corruption. Give voice to the voiceless. I am not stopping. I refuse. I will never give up.

Yes,
@NYGovCuomo sexually harassed me for years. Many saw it, and watched. I could never anticipate what to expect: would I be grilled on my work (which was very good) or harassed about my looks. Or would it be both in the same conversation? This was the way for years.Show this thread -
Not knowing what to expect what’s the most upsetting part aside from knowing that no one would do a damn thing even when they saw it. No one. And I *know* I am not the only woman.

I’m angry to be put in this situation at all. That because I am a woman, I can work hard my whole life to better myself and help others and yet still fall victim as countless women over generations have. Mostly silently. I hate that some men, like
@NYGovCuomo abuse their power.Show this thread

No one should have to fear sexual harassment at work.

TBh, this was life for women before social media. It was the rule rather than the exception at ALL my jobs- & most aspects of life. Lowkey demeaning words, jokes, to flat out abuse. Football coach teachers in HS, to my 1st boss (atty) who asked me if I thought his wife was “hot”.

Wow Lindsey you are super brave to share this, I hope people aren’t blinded by their superficial fandom for him and respect ur bravery here. That he is governor and has so many people under the impression he’s worth a damn is sickening

I really wish “male politician sexually harassed female employees” was newsworthy & not as common & predictable as, say, the sun rises in the east.
