There is something about men I've been wondering about for quite awhile...I've been working a temp job at a printing warehouse for the past 6 weeks now.

"I made the mistake of not reporting men in the past and I wish I had done something, anything. It leaves you so powerless when you allow them to take advantage of you. It made me feel like I was the one doing something wrong and I felt guilt and shame over it for a long time. "

Opal, I think these are exactly the types of feelings and mistakes that type of man is preying on. Unfortunately, the cycle doesn't break unless they are called on their behavior.

Most employers want to deal with this before it gets out of hand. It actually costs them a lot of money with high employee turnover, and could possibly end in a lawsuit in some cases. It's much better for them to eliminate the problem, and the sooner the better.

Misty, I learned very early in life that people will treat you whatever way you allow them to.


I am rather unsure of why anyone would worry about not hurting the feelings of some one who has been disrespecting them.


The guys who prey on women in the workplace are not only pigs, but they are breaking the law.


Laws women fought long and hard to have in place.

You need to be talking to your supervisor and the temp agency. That is a textbook case of sexual harrassment. You can't help the way God made ya but they don't have to act like that either.


Good luck! Let us know how it turns out!

I think you should report them. It can easily start with one person and when nothing happens the others think you dont mind and it is allright.
