So if she is ever harassed or raped, god forbid, what will she be? A harassment beneficiary? A rape recipient? Help me learn your special language. |
seriously?
and i told you what she should do if she's harassed.
i would raise her not to see herself as a victim.
so...if i am followed and flirted with at work...am i a victim? |
Since a victim is
defined as
A person harmed, injured, or killed as a result of a crime, accident, or other event or action.
And since sexual harassment in the workplace is
a crime in the US, then you would be the victim of a crime.
This is where you are supposed to say how you won't ever play the victim, you have too much self respect and are not a slave to cultural mamby-pamby conventions, and that you will stand up for yourself, etc.
But that has little to do with whether sexual harassment is a crime, and who was victimized in the crime.
Plus, think of all the things you acknowledge you are a victim of: Nazi-like flag-waving gays, protesters making it hard for you to get to work, political correctness, the gay mafia at your workplace. For a privileged white male who eschews "victim status", you're the most precious "victim" of all.
