You might be surprised (or really not) at how little that matters to a lot of old men

Like, just ask women how many guys have said similarly creepy stuff to them when they were teenagers, or even younger

I used to work in a grocery store, and it wasn't super frequent but you'd still get older men making creepy comments about the girls that worked there, some of whom were underage at the time, and there's just nothing they can do except grin and bear it, which just emboldens them more because they think that makes it okay rather than it's just their job to be nice

It's just part of the objectification that comes with seeing the primary role of women being to produce children, just look at the online dating thread on the Knicks board where dudes are talking about how women who've had sex with someone else are "damaged goods" and sh*t.

I found years ago that women the age of your children look like children. but I didn't hear this comment the way many of you did. I thought he just meant he loved her play. I think it was Gregg Doyle but I'd have to listen again to be sure. I don't often agree with Gregg's posts, but I'm willing to cut him some slack here.

Nah, it was creepy AF.
Just because it happened to you, doesn't make it interesting.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Yesterday I was lying; today I'm telling the truth.

I chimed in on that discussion. Hopefully my perspective reached that person.

And yeah man. I've seen first hand older dudes creeping on younger women in the workplace. It's so f*cked. That's why I try to say something to younger guys if they're willing to listen. I don't know what else to do otherwise to help outside of ensuring that the women under my care are safe and protected at all times.

It was borderline, if not full blown sexual harassment. I don't think we need to beat around the bush.

I hope that dude does not have daughters. Because if he does, that makes this even more disgusting.

Again...I couldn't be Caitlin's dad. I would have gotten in trouble.
