    Sexual harassment - a bit of gender balance

    In the wake of the Westminster and Hollywood sex abuse scandals, an electrician has spoken of the harassment he says workmen face "monthly".

    In one incident, a 67-year-old woman put her hand up a colleague's shorts and boxers while he was standing on a ladder and tugged on his penis and testicles, Simon* claimed.
    ...
    Simon, who works mostly in Surrey, Windsor and Reading, says he has been propositioned for sex on numerous occasions - all by women - been inappropriately touched and made to feel uncomfortable due to sexual comments.
    ....
    "It's quite common for women to strip in front of you.

      unfortunately the ones who try it on aren't the tasty ones.

      From bitter experience when I was doing household visits.

      Also if I want a nasty little rash I could get that Friday night without losing my job.

              Yep a few tradesmen rung in on LBC complaining about it.

              Also there are men (and women) harassed by female bosses in offices.

                I was once "pantsed" by a DBA in the airlock and, as a consequence, I've decided I'm jumping on the #MeToo bandwagon.

                  This is the case on both sides. You'll see that Weinstein, Fallon and most of the others are all fat ugly trolls who used their position to get sex out of women that would not give them a second look were it not for their status and positions as career gatekeepers.

                  Whereas the likes of Leo Di Caprio will have had fully consensual encounters as they were attractive to the women in question. I think Ben Affleck has been accused of something as an exception to this rule however.

                  But in general good looking people of both genders can get away a lot more that less than attractive people can.

                    When I used to work for BellCableMedia/Cable&Wireless/NTL there were dozens of known houses that would always answer the door stark naked, unfortunately it was never the nubile 22 year old blondes but rather 50 year old bored housewives
