Can it really be that in 2017 WOMEN
are finally being taken seriously when it comes to sexual harassment complaints
in the workplace? Let’s pause for a minute shall we and see
how this all came about. If Gretchen
Carlson had not sued Roger Ailes, none of this would be happening now. Gretchen was a BIG MUCKY MUCK over
at Fox and so was Roger Ailes. She must have had some SERIOUS proof
to substantiate her complaints because Fox cut that fat fuck loose in order to avoid public
humiliation and damage to Fox News's reputation. Sadly, had Gretchen Carlson been
Susie the Receptionist, this more than likely would not have happened. So there is proof that you must be
someone "important" before receiving justice. Hopefully, this too, will change.
Now that O’Reilly is out, another
woman over at Fox, an administrative assistant, someone who is not an
"important VIP," has also come forward with her own allegations. See people … where there’s smoke,
there's usually fire, and let’s not forget that Fox has already paid out
approximately $13 million to several other women on the down low ... so a big
hand to Gretchen Carlson for opening the door to exposing bad behavior and
FINALLY allowing women to be taken seriously.
Do you know how many times I could
have sued any one of my bosses for sexual harassment over the years? Let’s just say if I had, I wouldn’t be working today because I’D BE RICH. One of my
earliest memories occurred when I was probably 21. My boss, the owner of an ad agency
bumped me on my backside when he opened a door to come into a space where I was. He told me “wow … a few more inches
that doorknob would have given you the
thrill of your life.” I was
mortified. Another time
when I was in his office taking dictation, my contact lenses were bothering me and he asked me if “I
could make love with those things in my eyes” … WHAT DO YOU SAY TO SOMETHING
LIKE THAT? You know how
his comments made me feel? They made ME feel dirty. He just got off on this crap. He could have put his hands on me if
he’d wanted to
and I’d have had no
recourse whatsoever. He was a
gross pig who made me very uncomfortable and he was an older man who was
married with two little kids. I finally left that place and went
to work at a big fancy law firm. It happened there too. An attorney who I had lunch with
ONCE, never dated him, never had any physical contact with him EVER decided
that ONE lunch constituted permission to grab my ass in front of three
co-workers.
It went down like this ... as I was
speaking to the receptionist with two other secretaries in the firm lobby this
asshole got off the elevator and copped a feel that was beyond vulgar. My eyes widened in shock. The three girls who witnessed it
reacted in kind. I was
stunned. And then I
got pissed off. I marched to
his office, gave him a piece of my mind and you know what he did? He told me to get the FUCK out of
his office. I told him “THIS
ISN’T OVER.”
There are plenty of other stories I
could share and I’m sure lots of you reading this could share multiple stories
of your own. This is why
I view O’Reilly’s dismissal as a real victory. Of course he’ll cry “witch hunt” … amazing how
these guys NEVER take responsibility for their despicable behavior. Our own president brags about
grabbing pussy and the people still voted him into office. That’s one I’ll never
understand.
Now for a little fun ....
