I find fault with Pamela Gay telling her story as if she's on Donahue in 1983.
Is she
Tootsie? Is this
9 to 5?
Either it's late-2013, and 'powerful' luminaries can be women who make sexually demeaning comments to lower status humans of all varieties, and bosses can be gays who harass straight dudes, etc., etc.
Or it's 1981, and a harasser can only be Benny Hill chasing his secretary around a desk.

I'm a hard critic of victim testimonials-- but even =I= think there's a compelling story lost within the folds of Gay's post.
Feminists-- (and members of
all designated identity-victimhood classes)--
please let one unsympathetic bastard examine your words, before you go public: A lawyer. An old-guard newspaper editor. Someone who smokes cigarettes and follows sports...
I'm trying to imagine women taking a man seriously, if he included in his grievance, "...and she ruined Halloween! And that's my favorite holiday! Luckily, no one was around to see me start to cry!"
Yeesh.
"I was Almost Raped by the Great Pumpkin. He had a glory hole carved in one side! Now I have PTSD whenever I hear a doorbell at dusk."
The only Special kind of harassment reserved for First World Professional Straight White Cis Women-- is the kind where there's a Special advantage to being appreciated as sexy... which sporadically then backfires, when the woman is rudely-awakened by the realization that she has just been treated-- as harshly as everyone else. Move it, on or off the pedestal, make up yer mind!
