Comments on: How to Respond and Combat Sexual Harassment

on 11/22/2005 Oftentimes, sexual harassment is a two sided stick. Yes, the offender holds most of the burden, but as a victim you yourself have made yourself vulnerable. To prevent sexual attacks be sure to wear clothes that are meant for the office place -- no cleavage or six inch stilettos here girls! Also, make sure that skirts are the correct size and hit below the knee. Tank tops are permissible if a cardigan is worn over them, and make sure they are not too low cut, to prevent cat-calling. Wearing clean, conservative clothes will establish you as a professional. To show your wild side, feel free to pick up nice pieces of clothing in bright, fun colors and prints. Just make sure that they match or else you'll get fashion-harassment!
