zengirl Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Having a partner with fewer partners does not make a person more chaste but I just get the feeling that many of these women talking about double standards and sexuality just want an excuse to cheat and when a man takes issue he gets a feminist lecture. This is how many men feel. Well, I don't like sexual double standards, but I've never cheated, nor could I ever imagine myself doing it. It's a terrible thing to do to someone. Take issue cheating anytime you like, Woggle. Both genders do it, and it's as disgusting when women do it as it is when men do it. But what do the two issues have to do with each other?

daphne Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 What if it was a young girl being sexually harassed by an overweight middle-aged man? Bet she'd receive much more direct support. Not necessarily. I have been sexually harrassed about a half a dozen times, most of them in one place. I got the same non support and was treated like a leper for quite some time. Even after someone else filed a complaint against one of them. HR treats it like auto insurance treats whiplash. As if people are making it up & looking to sue.
Woggle Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Because he sees men cheating as payback the same way his ma sees women cheating as payback. I don't see men cheating as payback but many misandrists justify it that way.
Feelin Frisky Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 I was harassed by this horrible little monster of a woman. I'd have to consider it sexual because I don't know any other reason why she would contrive to bother me. I don't know what went on in her mind to give her the ideas she had. Maybe she had expectations from me. I was a busy busy man in my job at the time. The one person who received raw documents and prepared them for hundreds of other people to execute tasks moving millions of dollars. I had to skim, specify who to take money from, who to give it to, whom to notify, whether or not authentication was performed, whether correspondences need authentication going out--etc etc etc. More than a hundred people were waiting on me for their work. Perhaps I slighted this POS woman but she started calling me a "creep". One day she comes over while I have telexes and you name it spilling out all over the floor and I'm trying to get all this crap broken down and she goes: "so, when are you getting married?" Then she quickly follows up with "what am I saying? Who would marry a creep like you?" Man, that was it. I was furious with this bitch. I was 23 and working my ass off and missing out on a social life--feeling bad about myself as it was. Then this? There was nobody to intercede on my behalf because people in those big offices look at you like you're a whiner if you complain. So, I had to put the fear of god in her myself and tell her under no circumstances is she to speak to me again. What a POS this ugly little wart hog was. What did she want?
Author northern_sky Posted January 5, 2011 Author Posted January 5, 2011 I think what is considered acceptable for either gender def depends on the environment. At my waitressing job that I quit a couple of months ago I was harassed every day by two male workers. Because the owners were from another country where women are treated poorly, and because of their personalities, I knew if I complained they wouldn't give a crap. I'm glad I quit. In an office setting I doubt that kind of treatment would ever fly.
