Why do articles like this never mention that the customers who sexually harass these retail workers are men?
Maybe bc it’s so obvious that it doesn’t need saying.
Focusing instead on the experiences of female staff who are targeted for abuse, & the policies of the stores where this happens, continues a familiar practice of accepting some men’s predatory behaviour as normal (boys will be boys, he was drunk, he’s a good bloke) & expecting women to be responsible for managing the consequences of that behaviour (can’t you take a joke?).
Surely we’re past this by now?
Yet still this framing passes as normal. As does too many men’s predatory objectification of women.
See it? Name it. Silence is complicity. #misogyny #harassment #objectification #complicity #LazyJournalism 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
