Well, I have a tendency to get involved with male-dominated activities like playing video games and fighting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, so I've experienced a lot of sexism. Nothing that I couldn't handle. Just tired cliches like "Go make me a sammich, woman!" And then my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu coach did hit on me a few times when he was fighting with his wife. Even if I weren't gay, I wouldn't want to be in the middle of that. Plus I was 16 when he met me, and he was 38. It was weird.

Having attended an all-boys school when I was young, the sexism amongst the male teachers and obviously most of the students was truly vile and shocking now that I look back on it. The fact that I used to participate in such stuff makes me cringe now, but it was all pretty much out in the open, the teachers sometimes even encouraged it.

You didn't happen to go to school in a muslim country, did you? Maybe one that treats women like property?

Actually the Muslim schools I visited treated women better than the British public school I went to here in the UK.

That's definitely sexual harassment, that is no way a coach should conduct himself.

That's an enlightening video. Have you ever been sexually harassed though cato123, or are you part of the lucky few?

Yeah, few times. We had a Health teacher in Middle School who ended up in jail because of touching little girls. He touched me once, but I never reported it. He got his anyway. Also, there was a cook at my first job who ended up on probation because he kept touching chicks at work. He tried to touch me, but by that time I had a little self-defense training and he ended up with an elbow to the eye. I didn't report that one either, but he also got what was coming to him.
