Unpopular opinion at the moment, but Russel Brand and other celebrities may actually, genuinely, be unaware of how they might be pressuring their partners of the moment into doing things they are uncomfortable with - hard to know when that crosses the line into inappropriate, maybe impossible.
it’s just funny she took it personal
Found an insecurity. Probably should leave it alone in the future, unless you’re close enough for her to actually open up and let you help her work through it (very rare, not just among “work sisters” but even close platonic friends, in my travels.)
Same, but… know that OP is “only” 6’9"- standard (US) doorways are 6’8" - OP photo is in a smaller than normal room.
Would be interesting to make the same photo of a 5’4" woman in a scaled down room for her size and see how they compare.
Our training says, basically, anything that makes anyone feel uncomfortable - pretty much for any reason whatsoever - is harassment, and if there’s anything sexual in the context whatsoever, that makes it sexual harassment.
Our reality is that people who are overly sensitive and probably complaining to HR on a regular basis about “normal” (whatever that is) workplace behavior tend to be downsized due to a diminished need for their role within the company.
He touched me inappropriately!
She touched me inappropriately first!
Can you PROVE IT?
If it takes that much explanation, guarantee most people “don’t get where you’re coming from.”
Long before Tinder I matched / went on a date with a heavier woman who had obvious issues with her size. Not sure what she was trying to do, but apparently f a t was her trigger word, she instantly dissolved in a pool of irreconcilable tears. I made it clear I had no problem with the size, found her attractive as she was - even before saying the trigger word, but the fragility and deep lack of self esteem was more than I could handle.
And here I was having sympathy for the convicted rapists thinking that they didn’t really intend to rape anyone - yeah, was a nice day here sun just went down. Hope you have a good one.
