At the dinner table last night we were talking about all of these recent accusations and our own personal experiences.
I have been in a position as an employer since 1986. When I was in my mid-20's I was a production manager with 40+ plus folks in my direct supervision. Over half were women. As a 20 something single guy, I will absolutely admit that a woman's looks had a factor in if she was hired. Guilty as charged. I even dated a couple of them, which was dumb. But at no time did I ever do anything that was inappropriate at work, or anywhere else. Just not me.
However, it certainly has happened to me. Pretty much throughout my career I have had sexual advances on me by women. It happens. I'll go out on a limb and bet guys right here has had it happen to them also. In fact, women can be worse than men!
I have had boobs pressed against me, I have had my ass grabbed, more than once...lots of sexual innuendos...plenty of it. I had a woman who was a good friend of my 1st wife that hit on me constantly. I couldn't say a word to this lady without her turning into something sexual. What the hell was I suppose to do? I would have never lived it down by all the guys at work if I complained.
I am 52 and I still deal with it. As late as last year.
At any rate. With all of these accusations and "me too's"...hell I will go ahead and say "me too". But I never once considered filing a complaint, I just dealt with it and moved on. Doesn't bother me. Hadn't thought about it much.
