Good on you! Just out of curiosity, how often do you run into aggressors IRL? I too would call out bad behavior but I’m relatively introverted so I often wonder where everyone is running into assholes and what context. Could you share an anecdote or two?
I work in univs… My god the sheer number of :
-Sexual misconduct
-Misogyny against foreign female students (prohibited hijab in courses which is illegal in my country)
-Scientific fraud with a very sexist overtone (gimme your results for free or I’ll break your career)
I’ve seen…
I also have a weird personal background that I happily share when I suspect something. More than often, it allows people to talk about thing they may or may not share in certain situations.
@[email protected] but to be honest, more often than not, there’s nothing to do because the victim has too much to lose and asks that her story is kept a secret, which you need to respect. But nothing prevents one, in this case, to advise the coming generation of who they should avoid being in a room alone with. And in a few (rare) cases, collective action led to some of the most dangerous ones being fired.
Oof. That must be infuriating. Apparently ADHD ppl like myself can have increased justice sensitivity. I can’t let shit go. I got fired last year for standing against workplace toxicity and for employees rights. Litigation in progress. If I’m wrong, I want a court to tell me that.

I suppose it required a great deal of courage. I hope the court will rule in your favor!
Thank you for the kind words, I hope the same!
