In this episode, we review examples of severe and pervasive sexual harassment in the workplace, and discuss how our culture has become so hedonistic and sexually open about sex at the same time, that we have to be careful about what we say and do.

00:00:00.000 So if you follow this channel, you know that we've been reviewing workplace sensitivity training
00:00:04.680 courses, the kind that a lot of HR departments force their employees to watch. Mine doesn't,
00:00:09.800 but I've taken on this project anyway by choice because of my deep-seated masochism and self-hatred.
00:00:16.180 The company that makes these videos is called M-Train. They work with a lot of major companies
00:00:20.080 to help indoctrinate, I mean educate, educate people on how to avoid harassing, assaulting,
00:00:24.960 or being racist towards their co-workers. A lot of times we'll watch a bunch of videos,
00:00:29.700 but this time I want to focus on just one because this I believe is the worst one yet,
00:00:34.300 the absolute worst. It's the worst because of the real world consequences of, if not this specific
00:00:40.640 video, the sort of thing the video represents. So you'll see what I mean. We'll get into this now.
00:00:46.340 This is titled Examples of Severe and Pervasive Workplace Harassment. So let's check this out.
00:00:53.140 So will I see you at that three o'clock? Yeah, I'll be there. Oh, you got, um, got it.
00:01:11.360 I haven't had sex in a month. 0.75
00:01:13.900 Well, excuse me.
00:01:15.920 What school did you go to? Arizona State.
00:01:22.660 I didn't know they had hot girls at ASU. 0.98
00:01:28.540 You see Lisa's dress today?
00:01:30.400 Hell yeah, man.
00:01:31.680 What's that thing, spray painted on?
00:01:33.320 I want a spray painted.
00:01:37.520 They promoted her?
00:01:38.860 Mm-hmm.
00:01:39.740 I know five guys more qualified than that.
00:01:42.060 Only five.
00:01:42.740 I know...
00:02:10.700 Ah, okay.
00:02:12.200 So that's what they mean. So let's go through these. I took notes. I wrote this down. Not
00:02:17.620 really, but this is severe and pervasive harassment. Severe and pervasive. And the
00:02:24.520 examples are, we start with somebody pick some lint off of her shirt. Okay. Now that one, a little 1.00
00:02:32.180 inappropriate. You know, you didn't appear to touch her breast, but too close for comfort for
00:02:37.140 her, perhaps a little bit iffy harassment though. I don't think so. Severe. Come on. And the other
00:02:42.820 thing is a common thread we see in all these incidents. The person who's the victim doesn't
00:02:47.000 speak up for themselves. Like if you're uncomfortable with somebody touching you, say something, speak up
00:02:52.360 for yourself. Then she briefly hears a guy say the word sex to another guy as they're coming off an
00:02:58.000 elevator. Harassment. No, it's not even directed to her. Severe. What, what is this? Victorian England. 1.00
00:03:04.320 See, this shows how our culture has, has at once become hedonistic and way too open about sex
00:03:11.360 at the same time. So you think about songs like, like WAP, for example. Okay. We have songs like
00:03:16.420 that, but then at the same time we're like downright puritanical. So you touch a woman's sweater or say
00:03:22.120 a word around her and you're essentially guilty of sexual assault. But then WAP is a popular song. 0.98
00:03:28.560 It's the strangest dynamic. You can make a song graphically describing various intimate areas of
00:03:34.180 the body at various states of arousal. And that's fine. You can put that one on it at Applebee's while
00:03:39.360 the family's eating dinner at 5 p.m. No problem. But a woman literally hears a guy say sex and she's
00:03:45.480 been assaulted. Next, a guy calls her hot. Okay, again, shouldn't be saying that at work. Not professional. 0.90
00:03:53.380 Harassment? It's a compliment. Severe? Severe what? Severe complimenting? She's a victim of severe 1.00
00:03:59.960 complimenting. And then a few days later, she overhears two guys in a stairwell talking about
00:04:04.760 somebody else's outfit, saying that some other woman is wearing a tight dress. Once again, 0.88
00:04:10.260 inappropriate for the workplace or harassment? Of her? It wasn't directed at her, nor was it about
00:04:15.920 her. Either way, she was literally on a different floor of the building hearing it said about somebody
00:04:21.640 else. And she's being harassed? I mean, get over yourself, darling. Not everyone's focused on you.
00:04:28.060 And next, again, she overhears. I mean, this girl cannot stop eavesdropping. She's just constantly
00:04:32.820 listening, looking at what's on people's screens. She overhears two guys talking about presumably
00:04:38.340 some other woman who they think shouldn't have been promoted. So what? Nothing sexual about that.
00:04:44.120 Nothing gender specific. It's not about her. Not directed to her. Then after that, you have two dudes
00:04:50.420 looking over towards her when she bends down. Then another guy is looking in her direction.
00:04:55.900 You know, again, iffy. I mean, that could go either way. And I guess we're supposed to assume
00:04:59.920 he was looking at her breasts. And then she sees the wallpaper on somebody's laptop. And there are
00:05:05.160 pictures of scantily clad women who are mostly covered up. It looks like they're wearing bathing 0.98
00:05:08.720 suits. And then somebody taps her on the hip so they can get past her. So that's it. That's all we got.
00:05:14.340 There are maybe two or three actually inappropriate behaviors documented in the video. None of them
00:05:23.740 are severe or close to severe. If a guy saying sex is severe harassment, then what word do we use
00:05:33.340 to describe actual harassment? Because if non-harassment is severe, then what do we say about
00:05:40.900 real harassment when it actually happens? I guess non-harassment is severe harassment. So real
00:05:45.720 harassment is now like what? Fatal? It's fatal harassment. The consequence again is that women, 1.00
00:05:52.200 you know, they take this stuff to heart because they're brainwashed by garbage like this. And next 1.00
00:05:57.080 thing you know, lives are ruined. That's the consequence. That woman in the video is going to go 1.00
00:06:04.300 file a lawsuit, get a whole bunch of people fired. But on the bright side, at least we're protecting,
00:06:10.060 you know, the ladies from hearing the word sex at work, which will give them great comfort as they 1.00
00:06:15.020 drive home in the evening, listening to Cardi B sing about her genitals. 0.99
