All eleven men were standing at the back of the room speaking quietly. I could tell they were trading jokes with each other because there was laughter, then a few moments of one man speaking, then more laughter. I'm sure you understand when I tell you the type of laughter I heard. I couldn't help it, James. I started getting wet because I knew what they were talking about, it was as if I was being stimulated, simply from hearing the way they laughed."
James sat and listened to Cathy talk. A muscle on the side of his face showed he was flexing his jaw. What kind of men was this company hiring? There was some very aggressive restructuring taking place. Was that a harbinger of growth or future failure?
"The a ... the man who sits beside me, shares the long table where I usually sit. He was almost the last one to return to his seat when the speaker walked back into the room. After the speaker had presented his portion of the program, he asked if there were any questions. I was looking across the room at someone asking a question, when suddenly the notebook in front of me and a stack of papers slid to the floor around me. I turned to pick up the notebook. It happened so fast. The man sitting beside me put his hand on my knee and said, "I'll get it," just as I was bending over. I didn't let him. I mean, I leaned over to pick up the notebook. His hand went all the way up my skirt. I was so shocked I stood and he jerked my panties down, tearing them, actually ripping them off me, and then he tossed them across the room."
"Bastard," James breathed the word and did not get a similar comment from Cathy.
"I stood there, in shock I guess, watching my panties being tossed about the room. Each man who caught them either lifted them to his nose and took a deep breath or licked the inside of the crotch."
Cathy held up her hand to keep her husband from saying anything, "When I looked the speaker had left the room. I turned to the man beside me and said in a voice he could not avoid hearing that I expected him to pick up my study materials and see they were placed in my office. I picked up my briefcase and left the room."
James was shaking his head, "And now, you still have one more day of this conference, don't you?"
"Yes. In the morning, I am going to be the first person in that room. If I must, I will stare down every man there. I have one more day of sitting in a room with eleven men who have not given me one ounce of respect." Cathy lowered her feet to the floor and sat up straight. "I have one opportunity to establish myself as deserving of the position for which I've been hired. Tell me, what do I say, or how do I prove I am not intimidated by the actions of some very immature men who do not deserve my respect?"

The MC should have delivered a hard, open-handed slap across the face of the pervert who assaulted her at the meeting.
Because, you know, striking the face with a closed fist could result in a "boxer's fracture" to her hand.
Wow! I scan a lot of Literotica stories, but this was riveting and thought-provoking in the extreme, great writing.
That is assault. 911. Hopefully, they taped the proceedings. Obviously the wimp husband will not find the guy, blacken both eyes, and break his nose for her.
I'd tell her the next time anyone of those pricks says or does anything remotely sexual towards her, to curl up her fist and punch him right in the nose as hard as she can.
She left out the part about her having intercourse obviously .
She's a whore .
This is a complete inversion of what is happening in corporate America. The reality is that women get unearned hires and promotions and get to make false allegations about "harassment" and "discrimination" without consequences.
and tell the emergency response coordinator you have just been sexually assaulted and require immediate assistance. Stay on the line with the coordinator until police officers are on the scene. The perpetrator, along with the creep who has your ripped panties, will go directly to jail.
CeeeEsss
I couldn't help feel that this submission was not accurately tagged...it was more of a plea for advice from readers. I mean that's fine, but doesn't realy sit in the LW genre. As to the apparent dilemma faced by the wife, I would have recorded the conversations surrounding the sexist bullshit that was being, and the ripped panties incident could only be interpreted as sexual assault. I guess it would come down to a moral decision the wife would have to make....to become a semi-reluctant participant in on-going sexual harrassment (which could well be interpreted as condoning such behaviour) or taking the moral high ground, and resigning from her position for cause. I would take this same view if those dirtbags started the same sick behaviour with a male. They are fucking scum. The trouble with both shit and cream is they both float to the top. The trick is deciding which is which, and then what an individual is prepared to do.
...and it true it is very rare now. But I know plenty of men who still think this way and want to behave this way, but know they can't get away with it. From that point of view, I see the legitimacy to this story.
My advice to her would be, "Forget your gender, fight with every tool you have. Bring HR into the room, have them lecture the boys, set a recorder in front of you, and promise to bring charges against the next asshole that behaves unprofessionally." It is my experience that this type of man is a frightened, insecure, half a man. Promise each of them that her husband will be having a talk with them and she will be talking with their wives. It's called "the nuclear option" and exactly what these fools require.
This story repeats the pay disparity canard. Study after study shows women are not paid less when time in the workforce, type of work, and other factors are taken into account. As for the "discrimination", it is men who are systematically discriminated again because of so-called affirmative action. It is far easier to be admitted to a school, hired, or promoted if you are a woman. Moreover, "sexual harassment" policies allow women to terrorize men in the workplace by claiming that they "feel uncomfortable". All of this applies also to blacks and other "special" kinds of people. Anyone who writes this horseshit doesn't know anything about the modern workplace. The business about the panties was just fucking stupid.
No company could get away with that behavior. Even before me/too.
Some legal and some physical. She wouldn't go back until the lawyers finished taking the upper management apart. Any deal would include the termination of everyone in that room. Then anyone who touched my wife, especially the one who tore her panties off her, would be very badly and permanently damaged. Of course having been in business for over 30 years, I can tell you this would never happen beyond the most facetious level. HR departments eat guys like this for lunch these days.
No need to worry about their respect. That ship has sailed. In the absence of respect fear is best. There are 11 assholes in the meeting. 1 has forfeited his health by touching my wife. After he is released from the hospital the rest will see where thier actions will lead if continued. As far as their crude behavior. It will be continued the next day.....so, record it. After she has their actions on tape tell them that their wives will really enjoy watching the husbands behavior if it happens again. Now I know this will make for a bad work environment, while most will respect her for standing up for herself. There are always a coup!e that won't see the light. If her husband is as pissed at this as most would be then these couple would be given a choice. 1. Whatever they pull on my wife will done twice as bad to Thiers.(anything short of touching her). For the single ones and ones that are married by don't learn. Well they will join their buddy in the hospital. They will see how painful jokes can be.
Now since they don't need the money and this company is very poor at picking executives. It would be best in the long run for her to quit and find work at a better quality employer. FYI, the panty snacher is still going to the hospital......for a while.
My wife came home from work one day as upset as this woman was for far less. Her boss had yelled at her in front of other employees and customers. She handled herself much better than this woman as she simply walked out. When I came home she was very upset (tears). She explained her bosses (2 brothers) were "towel heads" were not used to treating women with respect. Like the stories go I'm not 6' 5" or a ninja. I'm 5' 10" about 185lbs. Spent 5 years in the Army and was now running my own construction company. My wife begged me not to go there (afraid I would get in trouble) or embarrass her more by my actions. I walked in to the business asked politely but loud enough so that everyone could clearly hear what I said that I wanted to speak the the offender.. When him and his brother approached me I explained to him that he had 2 choices. Either to call my wife and apologize or to come outside with me to the parking lot where I would educate him on how to treat my women. His brother started to babble and I gave him the same option. He picked up a phone and apologized to my wife. She returned the following day, picked up her personal items and told him what he could do to himself. The only reason she didn't do that the day before was she thought I would be upset if she quit her job. I would never expect my wife to put up with being disrespected by anyone. The dumb bitch in this case had no respect for herself and will probably suck a dick to bolster her career. And her husband is a cuck for not going there and slapping the snot out of the guy who tore her panties off. Off course I'm just a male chauvinist pig and still married to that beautiful woman for 36 years.
Drop the phrase "sexual harassment suit" Then ask who the Human Relations Dept head is.
i dont know in what work place you are in, but this crap would never happen in any place ive worked. im in my 40's. i have worked non stop since i was 17. never seen this bullshit. ive seen managers and managers in training be fired for a hell of a lot less.hell one guy his name was tom brown. he was 4 levels above me. he got fired for having an affair with a women under him. neither were even married but he was still fired. maybe this shit happened in the 50's but now no chance. the H.R. dep. would rip them a new asshole. hell they would fire them and who ever hired them to.
I've read awful stories on here and this one is easily in the ten worst.
to bad the woman isn't very smart, a recorder after the first session would have been very useful. Since she intends to go back, advice to husband seek out a divorce attorney, appears she gets wet at the idea of being the company whore.
