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.
Conversation
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.

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, 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.
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 abuse their power.

Interesting. You worried about how you would be judged and suffered for years but now you need to put this on Twitter?

although hitting the 🤍 button under a Tweet feels like voting, you need to take action in the real world...
the time for tolerance has passed

The part that is pretty horrific is how people watch, see, and do absolutely nothing. How? I cannot comprehend that. Are they really that afraid of ‘authority’ or just purely selfish or?

Why are you JUST now coming out??? Now that he’s in the news a lot, why NOW?? Why not when it happened? Did he hold a gun to your head and threaten you to tell? I was sexually harassed and I told it right away. If you haven’t been working with him for years, you should have told
👏👏👏Kudos for speaking up. This malice for working woman need to STOP! Governments to take strict note of #metoo and provide strict laws against exploitation by the high and the mighty.
