It's CANCEL CULTURE and we are living in the thick of it. I am all for calling out malignant predators where they exist, and holding them accountable.
But careers can be ended and lives destroyed now because..." Mr X told me I looked lovely in that color, or winked his eye, or held the door open for me when I walked in.
I deem it sexist and offensive. It has caused me lasting emotional distress and suffering."
I am only slightly exaggerating.
I agree.
In the 1980's and 1990's, I had horribly sexist male bosses. They would say terrible things to me in front of people who reported to me.
I got them back. Practical jokes that were weeks in the making. Also, some schemes that got me more money. Granted, I was a confident person from a comfortable background with a father who was very supportive.
If I waited 20 years and then sued for sexist treatment, it wouldn't be satisfying. I got them back in a timely manner that may have prevented them from telling other female employees what they told me.
