seekingwillow:senjukannon:citizenwasp:proseandkhans:My friend Megan was sexually assaulted at a 24 Hour Fitness by a staff member and on camera. Instead of firing the staff member, corporate intimidated her into not pursuing legal action and terminated her fully paid membership without her consent. This staff member still works at the 24 Hour Fitness located on Cass Street of Omaha, Nebraska. What Megan wants is for this employee to be fired as a result of his behavior, for her paid membership to be reinstated, and for sexual harassment policies to be posted publicly in 24 Hour Fitness locations. By choosing not to punish this employee for his behavior, they are enabling him and providing him opportunities to do the same to another woman again. By choosing not to punish this employee, 24 Hour Fitness is expressing that they have no regard for the safety and well being of their patrons. And that’s bullshit if you ask me. (Please signal boost.)Signal boosting the hell out of this.One flood of PR shit, coming right up. Do your thing, internet.___Huh,Sounds like HS. “Do you really want to pursue this as a sexual assault, young woman. Obviously this young man, this young football player has plenty of things he wouldn’t want to ruin his life for over you. Can’t you see it was a mistake? Of course he didn’t mean to touch/grab you there. He was just fooling around. He never thought you’d take it all so seriously. Frankly I can’t see anything sexual about it at all - though, some girls would be flattered. Let me act this out w/ you - yes, see, nothing suggestive about it at all. I think the solution is to remove YOU from the honors class you share with him and put you somewhere else….”Victim Blaming & Shaming. Rape Culture Supporting. It always looks the same - follows the same. damn. script. -- source link
