Unfortunately you don’t always get them. But walking away and closing that door is an acceptable alternative.

Yes! This person was married, targeted many women and was a local business owner. I spoke out and encouraged others to do so. His business eventually was closed. Yes he took advantage of many female clients

Ugh, so gross. Well done speaking up and no longer taking his crap. You deserve better than that, as do all of the women he harassed.

Thanks. This was many years ago, but still. So much harassment happens in plain sight. That's what boggles me

Jane, This is not an easy topic to write about. I appreciate your courage. Creeps like this need to be called. The harm they impose on women can be lasting.
