Weird

So, we're doing our sexual harassment "prevention" training seminar tomorrow, and I realize that I actually feel kind of weird about it.

See, the thing is, I've been a victim of this. The real kind, not the ribald-jokes and meaningless-flirting kind. I had a boss get inappropriately intimate with me in a dominating way--stealing my purse, playing keepaway with a pack of birth control pills, taking things of mine and putting them in his office so I'd have to come fetch them. That sort of thing. I've also been in workplaces where guys thought nothing of posting hardcore beaver shot pictures in common rooms, and one where a guy three times my age (yes, literally) liked to make comments about how "sweet and fresh" I was. Ew.

But, after several years of more or less working on my own, or in situations that had little to no fraternization, behaving by the book at this place is going to be a challenge to me.
