Now the Rest of the World Knows How We Feel

The shame, the humiliation, the refusal to knuckle under to those evil sex pests.

Ladies, we've tried to warn you. Now the dark secret is out, so you'd better shape up.
Most men are sexually harassed by women at work - but are afraid to complain to their employer, say researchers.

Four out of five male workers had experienced such harassment from a female colleague, according to a study for employment law firm Peninsula.

Two-thirds of the 2,300 men questioned also said that sexual banter was inappropriate at work.

A separate poll of 1,600 employers admitted they would not take a complaint of sexual harassment as seriously from a male employee.
Nobody ever takes us seriously.

Sigh.

How much longer must we suffer in silence?
