Unite, the union representing most cabin crew, which has 30,000 female members in the sector, last year found that 34% of women had been sexually assaulted at work (this includes ground staff); 67% had experienced unwanted flirting, gesturing or sexual remarks;
Unwanted flirting? But how does anyone know whether flirting will be wanted until it is tried?
If she thinks you’re cute it’s flirting, if she doesn’t it’s harassment.
The irony in that is the lounge lizard is making a sexual comment, the nerd is complementing her work and is oblivious that she’s a woman.
Oh! Can I make a claim against all those female cabin crew staying in the same hotel as me when disembarked ashore 60 years ago?
You old devil, you. No smoke detectors or cameras in the loos then, either.
And Quaintarse or VIrgin? Bet that’s complicated.
What is “unwanted gesturing”?
ps: say no to “no to ID” popups
“85% of women have been raped or whistled at.”
As the old saying goes, the only thing worse than being whistled at is not being whistled at.
What percentage experienced wanted flirting, gesturing or sexual remarks?
Well I quite liked being flirted with. Them wuz the days.
