1. Isn't it!?!? I STILL LAUGH AT IT WHEN I WATCH THE CLIP, and when I think of all of the similar conversations I've overheard and eavesdropped on ever-so-politely.
2. I know. I think he just is trying to be funny, but it comes off as so obnoxious. I was recommending Life with Archie to somebody and he popped in, and I didn't even see him enter the story, and made the most generic threesome joke ever. I just think it is the saddest thing ever that he exists.
3. I have two coworkers by my side almost always who are incredibly thoughtful and really good at picking up on my discomfort :) and steering away guys who are harassing me. I can stand up for myself, but it actually really helps me out, when they take the burden off of me since I'll just be seen as a bitch or a stick in the mud or whatever. I've had that happen at a lot of other jobs, but never at this job. People have never accused me of leading them on or anything, but I have had the generic "Get your mind out of the gutter, I just wanted to be friends" comments after I refuse to give my number for like the tenth time.
Overall I get slight discomfort from some advances, but most are annoying in their frequency/persistence, but less offensive than what I've experience, interestingly enough, than working in let's say the food industry or retail.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
