While many will deny it, this is the 'rape culture' we live in, where women are still thought of as second class citizens and 'sex objects,' where some men think they can say and do what they want with impunity.
Some can deny it all they want and criticize such things as 'feminist propaganda,' but that doesn't make the problem go away.
A new video has surfaced detailing working conditions at McDonald’s locations across the United States. Specifically, it addresses the alleged sexual harassment employees at the fast-food chain endure at work.
McDonald’s reportedly ignored instances of sexual harassment in eight states, according to 15 separate complaints that cashiers and cooks filed during the past month with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Almost all the people in the video say they reported the inappropriate behavior and were told it was their fault, or they were ignored. When they told their attackers to stop, they would allegedly receive responses like, “You know you want it,” or “It’s your word against mine.” Some of them reported getting their hours cut after complaining.
And it’s not just McDonald’s employees. Two in five women working in fast food reportedly experience some kind of harassment, according to a new survey, but most don’t speak up because they are afraid of losing their job or simply don’t know whom to turn to.
After Kristi Maisenbach, a McDonald’s worker from Folsom, Calif., who made $9 an hour, complained to her store manager about ongoing harassment, which included offering her $1,000 for oral sex, he said she shouldn’t have “flirted” with him. Her hours were cut from 30 per week to eight, she said. “When you’re barely making enough to get by, speaking up means risking your check, your next hot meal, your electricity bill,” she said. “It’s hard to share these stories, but I’m proud to speak out.”
There isn't a "rape culture", there are jerks out there of all persuasions that need to be culled though. Some of them are in positions of authority.
If 15 complaints in the past month for a corporation that has 420,000 employees doesn't scream "You want fries with your raping?" then I don't know what does.
