What double standard? If a female co-worker did that to me I'd bring it up with HR.
And – I'm making the assumption that you are probably in tech and therefore probably in a male-dominated workplace – unlike a woman in your situation, you can almost certainly call out the individual in question with zero fear of consequences to your career. Without knowing specifics, my prejudice is that you are in no position to complain. (My assumptions could be wrong.)
- erikbye 9y agoThe double standard is that she still has her job but a man wouldn’t.
- colanderman 9y agoBullshit. Tens of thousands of men who sexually harass women get away scot-free day in day out. The men you mention lost their jobs because the women they harassed spoke out (and almost always, they did so under fear of reprisal). It didn't just "happen". Have you spoken to HR or your boss?
- _MK_ 9y agoGuess whose job it is to bring it with HR and make sure they understand the double standard you see? You and everyone else you can round up that agrees with you. Make it happen like women have always had to do.
- Kluny 9y agoBring it up with HR. See what happens.
