International Women's Day
I'm a little depressed that we still need this, but oh well.
Doubtless everyone on the internet has already seen this video, but I love it, and so I am reposting it.
Are We Equals, 007?
The other day some of my (white, male) coworkers complained about having to take the mandatory class on harassment in the workplace (it's roughly a one hour online course, with a 15-minute quiz at the end: a real hardship, you understand). One of them bitched that it wasn't necessary because it's not like it exists anymore, right? We live in a society where men don't harass women at all.
You should have seen the look on his face when I told him that I and several other women had been harassed at my previous job, that one girl had filed a complaint with the Régie des Normes du Travail, that the rest of us had testified, and that we had won.
Newsflash: just because you didn't see it yourself, doesn't mean it didn't happen.
