Question

Men: Give past examples of having been harassed (according to your perception)?

Answer 1

A Hawaiian girl had the temerity to question my integrity time and again despite my obvious pain.

Answer 2

Never, my guess you won't get much from any guy.

Answer 3

Never happened, and never will.

Answer 4

Well actually one of my friends was working in an office for an insurance company was in a hostile sexist environment against men. The female workers would constantly say sexist remarks towards him; stir rumors around him, other workers, and insult their own husbands/boyfriends/dads behind their backs - everyday. They would sort of flock together, and bitchily and sarcastically harass him. They would even pinch his @ss, pinch his man b***s, laugh at him, laugh at his own weight etc...... He complained to the board but nobody took him seriously, they just dismissed him, as the women seemed so nice when those above came and inspected them. Later he became severely depressed and attempted suicide.

There is no evidence that women are ‘nicer’ in any ways compared to men as the stereotypes would have you believe.

Would he have been ignored if he was a she and the harassers were men? I don't think so.

It's sad that there's such a double standard towards men in men so many areas of life today.

Answer 5

Never.

Answer 6

Victim's Anonymous: My name is Dr. Gabriel Isidore Gaultier  and I have been mentally harassed by several women in G&WS.  For example, I posted an innocent, non-sexist question and received a moronically rhetorical question that implied I was sexist.

Now that I've got that off my chest, am I still macho?

Edit: Surely someone has cruelly taken advantage of your name, 'Poo Poo'?

Answer 7

Once I was on a trip to the Mississippi State Capitol in Jackson.  There were a number of schools that sent students there (reason is a long story, won't get into it here).  During a break I happened to wander into a side room where 5 girls were.  Apparently they all went to the same school in another part of the state.  One of them didn't waste any time asking me if I'd ever had s*x and stuff like that.  She got very close and was basically hanging off of me.  Another one of her friends grabbed my crotch while I was speaking to her friend.  That was enough for me.  I said I had to go to the bathroom and got the heck out of there.  I thought about telling somebody, but didn't really think anything would happen, and I'd cause trouble and nothing would be done.  I still think that might be true, but if I had it to do over again I would tell somebody.

And yes, this really did happen in the state capitol.    

Another time I was in high school standing in line for lunch and felt somebody pinch my butt hard (it hurt).  I turned around.  Two girls standing behind me both tried to say it was the other one.  I never did figure out which one it was.  I think they were just playing a joke, but I still think it was inappropriate.

Answer 8

I was a PCA in a Melbourne hospital (Australia) when I left school.  The older nurses were the most b1tchy women I have ever worked with.  As far as they were concerned, and derogatory comment made against a man was totally acceptable, and the law and hospital board would protect them.  Male patients were ignored a lot of the time, and female patients were treated much better.  Myself and a couple of younger nurses gathered information, but two of us got caught by the head of the Orthopaedic ward and were then harassed and abused by her and her coterie for several weeks until we took legal action.  We eventually won, but the Equal Opportunity Commissioner for the state did not want to make a case for us because she was a feminist and it would have reflected badly on women, according to her.  The Equal Opportunity Commissioner was there to protect only women!  Well we persisted and won.

Harrassment against men is often unreported these days (unless they are g*y), but is no more justifiable against us than it is against women.

Answer 9

When I went to nursing school, there was a coven of about five female professors who hated males in the program.  One of them would NOT leave this one young guy alone, did everything she could to drive him away, make him fail.  She harassed him endlessly, viciously . . .until I got tired of it and got in her face and put a quick stop to it with some attorneys.  That's not an example of "sexual" harassment as much as it is of "sexist" harassment, though.  Part of the confusion I see here on this site that muddles the issue of sexual harassment that women struggle to stop is that much of the harassment is that "sexist" vicious stuff that women have faced and has nothing whatsoever to do with inappropriate courtship behaviors in inappropriate situations such as the workplace or public street.
