CW RAPE REFERENCE
In college, a creep kept hitting on me in a class. I said "no" everyday.
One time after telling him "no" he leans over and whispers, "I'm going to fucking rape you"
I proceed to stand up, scream at him, take my earrings out and ask him if "he wants to go".

The entire classroom stops. I keep screaming what he just said to me, getting in his face as he visibly backs away from me horrified. Obviously taken aback by a literal 5 foot nothing girl wanting to beat his ass in front of 40 people.
I then do proceed to try to beat his ass in front of 40 people and go at him.
People interject when they pop out of their daze and realize what is happening.

After 5 men pull me back, he leaves the classroom.
I'm expelled from the class forever. Lose my credit and have to have a conversation with the dept head, who seems to think I was the biggest problem in that scenario.
Maybe I was?

Whatever. It's in the past, here's my point:
A reminder to my male colleagues:
I AM NOT THAT GIRL.
I'll beat your unwashed ass in front of everyone, right damn there in the hotel bar BEFORE explaining to anyone what you said.
Got me?

90% of the reason men act the fool is because they don't think there are immediate consequences.
I move to collectively interject the fear of God into professional settings.
Normalize just smacking the ghost out of sexual harassers in professional settings!

If you are saying, "she seems angry"
Accurate
But, this is the root of my anger, righteous anger.
I've gone through proper channels to report abuse.
I've been gaslit, reabused, dismissed, all why the assaulted smug face gloats over me for failing to get them.

They leave the scenario feeling invincible, me having failed to get them in trouble.
At some point, you lose faith in "proper channels". You know you're never going to get justice being polite.
So you take whatever justice you can get...which for me, now manifests in taking it out of their hide

I'm not going to go to a con chair first and sheepishly file a harassment report. I'm not guaranteed the con chair will deliver me any protection or justice.
That proper reporting can wait.
I'm taking my pound of flesh right then and there.
