Back Off!
Last week i attended a seminar about sexual harassment against women. The class explained the different types of sexual harassment and different ways to prevent it. I never realized how many women will just try to ignore sexual harassment because they are not sure of how to deal with it. The main point of the class was to teach us women that if you are being sexually harassed tell someone or even tell the harrasser that what they are doing is unexceptable. There is no reason to raise your voice of get upset just simply explaing that theri behavoir makes me uncomfortablr an I am not going to tand for it. So next time you feel you are being sexually harrassed don't keep your feelings inside it is ok to stand up for yourself and your rights as a woman.

I remember taking that class! I took it my first semester when I had Women's Health Issues.
I don't remember the lady's name who taught the corse, but I remember this one thing that she said to tell people who were bothering you:
"Stop disrecpecting women. I don't like it, no one likes it."
Luckily, I have never had to say this. I would also add my own flair:
"Would you like someone talking like that to your mother? Sister? Aunt? Grandmother? Would you talk that way to them? Bugger off!"
