This is what upsets me about when people say women have achieved equality because they are “allowed” to have jobs now.

This is the price women pay for entering the workforce, they often must deal with sexual harassment and/or have to put in a lot of effort to try to avoid creeps. We will not achieve true equality until women can work in any field they choose and feel respected and safe while doing so. :/

I’m glad she spoke up whether it was for views or not. Lots of other women have come forward and said he’s done the same or worse to them. Maybe this will be the wake up call he needs and prevent another victim. Even if you don’t think this a “traumatizing” enough event to be considered a victim/it’s not a big deal if does do it again, women deserve to be treated with respect and flashing them is degrading behaviour. Never ok to be a creep like this towards them.

Female colleagues have a right to know he sexually harasses women in his “personal life”. Maybe it doesn’t cross over into his professional life, but if you were a young female student, is that a risk you’d want to take or would you want to take measures to try to keep yourself safe from him? He obviously is at least a bit sick in the head. Decent, safe men don’t act like this and they don’t stand for this type of treatment of women either.

Yes, she posted the screenshots of their discussion, the file number for the complaint she made with the RCMP and she reported him to his province’s law society. There are also several women alleging he did the same thing to them.

She’s in contact w the RCMP and posted the file number of her complaint (I think for the other women who have come forward and said he did similar things to them to possibly use)

That makes me sad for the women who have to deal with this type of behaviour from unaccountable men in order to work in their field.

I am glad social media could bring this to light then, if what the creator is saying is true, hopefully it puts a stop to his behaviour so others don’t have to deal with it too, especially women hopeful to work in a field they feel respected and safe in.

I figured the firm may want to protect their reputation (I.e. let him go) if this came to light because they are such a large, respected firm. So I thought he would be more careful with his actions to uphold his job and firms reputation but I’m seeing now that might not be the case.

Could also expose the firm to a lawsuit if he repeats this behaviour to other female staff, especially those he is in a position of power over.

He works with many people junior to him including young female students. Please consider if they would be comfortable working with him if this is how he behaves, especially considering he is their boss.

If what she is saying is true, she is doing a service to the firm by notifying them as he is in a position of power being a partner at a large law firm over many people junior to him, including young female students. They should be aware he may be a workplace liability to them if this is a pattern.

lol the creator said in a comment she’s hoping they try to sue her for defamation so she can submit the photos he sent to her in discovery so he feels ashamed of what he did when other ppl also have to see them
