This is a tough subject. Nobody really enjoys talking about it. Certainly not the people that engage in the appropriate sexual harassment.
And more so the victim. You have stories out there where people come out 10, 20, 30 years later after experiencing horrific sexual harassment.
And even then, they empower themselves to have that discussion, report it to police, file lawsuit. What are they met with?
They’re met with victim shaming. Why didn’t you come out with this 10, 20, 30 years ago? Honestly, when you first hear about it, there is a reflexive reaction to say that.
But most the time the people that have that reaction haven’t experienced it themselves. Once you start talking to sexual harassment victims, you start to understand they are reluctant to come forward.
Why? Because it is embarrassing, it’s demeaning. You were likely groomed by the person to shut your mouth and never have that discussion with anybody.
Who wants to go out there and talk about being victimized in this way?
