I cannot even begin to count the times I have been sexually harassed at the work place or there was inappropriate sex speak. In those days, women just ignored it. I suppose I was a minimizer and I can't imagine what I was signaling with body language. My most interesting incident was when I was in my 30's.
My boss had a construction crew in his office. I went in and there was a drill of some sort sitting in the middle of the room. It had an electric cord and it sat about 3 feet high. I had never seen anything like it. I looked at my boss and said: "What is that?"
In front of the half dozen men he said: "That is your vibrator."
All eyes turned to me. I said: "That isn't my vibrator, I kick start my vibrator" and I left the room.

You were smarter than a room full of men.
You are so correct. I'm a guy, but witnessed many women being harassed in the workplace. I might have even been guilty in the past. Hopefully, by coming into the spotlight this issue will make men realize how much emotional damage it can cause.
