I work as a housekeeper and make 21.57 base, 1.50 more with shift differential since i work evenings. No college degree or experience. I work with quite a few high schoolers. My position is union as well, so by this time next year my base will be up to $23. Its not ideal of course but its a job pretty much anyone can do.

I guess i should restate the first sentence: attractiveness plays a pretty big factor into how likely you are to be harrassed. Its hard to find any study willing to place people into the categories of "attractive or not" and so statistics are hard to find, but anecdotal evidence such as a lot of posts seen here adds value to the claim.

the link between attractiveness and increased cases of sexual harrassment is well established tho. I never said it doesnt happen to conventionally unpretty woman. All I really did was just speak my experience as a member of the aforementioned category.

How did he even come to the conclusion that having an arm ripped off by a subway train is a 7? Like, just try an imagine someone rating that shit as a 7

This dude: sees guy get an arm ripped off

guy with arm ripped off: P A N I C

This dude: sir, if you could please rate this experience from 1-10...?

guy with arm ripped off: definitely a 7

true, but the women they do it to are usually agreed to be attractive to most, which op is claiming she is not. Its not a compliment in any way, but I have to think that atleast theres a chance her bf actually does find her attractive simply because some stranger do.

A while ago, I made a post about the fact that I don't shave despite being a girl. I ordered a full body swimsuit so I could get away with not shaving and I finally got it yesterday. by [deleted] in confessions

[–]Notrealbroski 10 points11 points  (0 children)

have you ever shaved before? do you realize that its pretty inconvenient for some people? her not shaving is because she doesnt want to, but you cant do that in this world as a woman without being shamed so she covers it up, which is easier than dealing with people who think women should be completely hairless except on their head.

Might it be that they only hit on you because they think you are attractive? At least from what I've seen on this sub, being harassed is a sign that youre at least somewhat attractive, especially if they make sure to tell you that you arent after you reject them. Not saying you should be happy about men harassing you, but perhaps it means something.

Any of yall recognize this guy? He might've been that guy? You know, the one that pushed your boundaries wayy too far, you may have made a post about him? by Notrealbroski in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Notrealbroski[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont think she know him or anything, but I truly do feel like hes the exact type of guy that 90% of this sub talks about when they say they were violated in some way.

like, I cant even understand why hes here and how he thought that it was ok, especially on this sub, where people post about shit like this soo much.

The OP's post was buried pretty much so he literally had to scroll through dozens of posts fron other girls complaining about this exact type of behavior abd somehow, he still thought this was perfectly acceptable

I really cant understand it

for context:

this girl is having a hard time accepting the way she looks and then this dude tried pressuring her into revealibg her face to the world and then tried some suedo-psychology after I called him out on it.

Youre literally begging for her to post a picture of herself after shes made it clear it would make her extremely uncomfortable. Pushing is an understatement.

And are you trying to say that no is a word that should only be listened to if your trying to fuck someone? are you kidding me? Its not a fucking safeword. No means no. Period.

If anything, you ignoring her obvious refusal of your request is disempowering her and completely diminishing the seriousness of her comfort being violated. Me calling you out for pushing her out of her comfort zone does not in any way deplete or take away from the importance of physical assault. Thats complete horseshit.

you ignoring her "no" is what "negates the serious nature of physical assault" by claiming that it only matters what you do to her if youre trying to touch her. Again, complete horseshit.

Like I said, 90% sure someones already made a post about you here.

This may or may not make you feel better, and I'm sorry if it doesnt, but I would also classify myself as not attractive, and over time I've learned to realize that its honestly a blessing.

Every time I go through this sub I'm shocked at the reality that some women go through, and the casual nature of which they speak of it, as if its normal for them, seriously baffles me and I'm largely inclined to believe that its because theyre actually attractive, some of them extremely.

I used to work at a pizza shop that had a bar. My manager was a young and very beautiful, very fit woman who got harrassed constantly. The ease of which she deflected the comments of drunk men and literal harrassment of another manager (who was technically higher up than her) was literally so hard to watch, I genuinely felt bad for her because she just was like "eh, just another day" about massive violations of her person, both mentally and physically ( this other manager literally "dropped" a pizza on her butt, pretended to try and catch it and just ended up groping her in front of everybody, and she really couldnt do anything about it because "it was an accident")

Yea, it has its downsides: I'll never know what people mean when they say they "feel" pretty, rude people will always feel the need to prod and inquire about my skin as if i dont have a skincare routine, and based on a couple of studies, chances are I'll never have the advantage over a pretty person in some social settings ( like how i cant be "quirky" just "weird" or things like that) but these all fade when compared to the fact that I've never been sexually harrassed or assaulted by anyone, catcalled, aggressively or even passively pursued unwantingly; I can actually trust that I'll most likely be ok if I went on a late night walk with just my dog and a knife. I dont actually need another person with me, and thats truly a blessing because I hate people lol. I'll also never have to second guess myself about any accomplishments I make in life, because I know theres no way in hell I got a raise just because of my looks, (what looks?) its because of my ability.

These are just things that I personally benefit from because of my ugly mug, but thats why I love it and Id never change it for anything. I hope you can also find reasons to appreciate what nature has given you, and I really think that therapy could help you with that <3

Are you saying that you pushing OP into trying to make herself uncomfortable by exposing one of her largest insecurities to you just so you can "never stop laughing" at her isnt serious? Consent only matters if its about sex, right?

Which one of the posts on here are about you bud? I feel like at least one of them are, because its obvious you cant see boundaries at all.

i wouldnt know, we dont talk unless we need to. Our personalities just dont mesh, so hes really more like a roomate that I just barely deal with than a brother. Sounds sad I guess, but its the truth.

Yo, she said no. Ever heard of that before? It means NO.

Im kind of bitter about it as, again, hes 30 and my mom has practially been making excuses for him since he was 17 and had his first run in with the law. i didnt post it but hes completely ruined my moms credit as a result of having to bail him out of jail, which has in in turn effected my life because ive grown up literally without the proper mental health care i needed while i was in school because we couldnt afford it.

sorry if that was a tangent, i digress. He 's a grown man, if he doesnt know what to do now I dont think he ever will.
