Men do not consider women as equal to themselves. They have a very subjective opinion about the women they work with, so they are judged only by their appearance. Of course, men are absolutely calm about women providing their work, that is, they print, make out papers and the like. They also apply to women who are below their rank. They reflexively assume the role of leader, and these women do not compete with them. In a team where there are more women, men get along as long as all control is in their hands. But they begin to feel disadvantaged in the society of women, equal to them for development.
Currently, women increasingly compete with men in their fields. They believe that they are with men on the same bar, for example, they are trying to raise their wages. Men try to avoid such women to the maximum. Because of this, women can turn out to be outcasts of the collective. All useful information usually bypasses them, since men only pass it to each other.
But, worst of all, men can also react aggressively to women's misconduct. This can happen in the form of scandal, accusation or gossip. The most unpleasant are gossip of a sexual nature. Usually they talk about how a woman has made progress in her career - not at the expense of her mind, but through a bed. So if a woman moves forward in her office too quickly, she becomes an object of gossip.
Before responding to such attacks, make sure that the main character is you. After studying the nature and personality of your opponent. This will help you to deal with it faster. It is best to answer him with a joke, since it greatly reduces the strength of the attack.
You can, of course, try to achieve something with the help of tears. But to use this trick a woman at work can only once, otherwise it will be considered a person who does not know how to restrain his emotions.
In order to prevent such attacks, make sure that everyone knows in advance how and what you have achieved. However, do not forget about the support of good relations with men at work: with the boss and colleagues. For example, if everyone in your team is fond of sports, then you should be aware of the latest developments in this area. Sometimes it is useful to turn to men for help. But you need to behave with men, as a colleague with colleagues, without using the position of a weak woman. And at the expense of leadership you should think ahead. For example, if there are few women in your team, then why do you need it?
Many women face the sexual aggression of men. Its forms of manifestation can be very different: trite anecdotes, hints, attempts to pat and, in fact, attempts to rape. This can be expected from colleagues and the boss. A man in this situation is guided not by an obsession with sex, but by his desire to be the main one.
Women, as a rule, are too shy to object to men, not wanting to make noise. But when the cup of her patience will be overflowed, then she can act extremely recklessly, taking her own emotions.
How to behave in a similar situation? The easiest way to stay safe is to initially prevent all of the above attempts. For the first time, change the subject of the conversation. However, if such hints are soft, then you need to answer the same way, without irritating the person. Usually the behavior of men in this case is normalized. But if such hints continue, then threaten that you can write a statement to your boss or record your dialogue on a dictaphone, the film of which will later be found by a lawyer.
