There is so much wrong with the story recently recounted by jennybruso on Girlistic that it’s a little hard to know where to start.
- We could talk about the guy who made the comment who is at in idiot and a bit of an asshole. He is at least too stupid to know that his comment was gonna cause him problems.
- We could talk about jennybruso who is apparently such an emotional basket case that a dumb remark can give her what sure looks like to post traumatic stress disorder complete with hysteria and flashbacks.
- We could talk about the commenter’s on the post who are treating this as if it was important in the grand scheme of things.
- We could talk about the as yet unknown idiotic researcher who will sometime in the future use this story in a grossly inflated form to claim something monumentally stupid like “99% of all women will be raped in the workplace”
In the end though, we don’t need to go into much detail. The story comes down to this. Some guy who apparently in all the time he knew jenny never picked up on how fragile she was said the following while she was carrying dishware and he was moving to help.
“I love the way yr tits look like yr serving them on a plate.” – some idiot
Again, I will repeat that in a work environment in this day and age such a comment is just plain stupid. Not to mention of course how wildly inappropriate it would be to speak to a coworker like that unless (a) you were friends and (b) she was pretty mellow. The number of women you know at your job who are cool enough to handle a joke like that is very very small.
It hit jenny so hard her first instinct was violence, as is so often the case with the fragile.
“I wanted to drop the fragile plates, scream a string of curse words and sock him in the face.” – jenny
However that was not to pass because the she totally lost her mind. The stress was so bad she went into flashbacks…
“I was instantly rocketed back to fifth grade when this boy would repeatedly run by me and grab my very developed breasts.” – jenny
She did manage to find the words later. The guy tried to apologize like an idiot. Clearly he had no real grasp of how crazy this chick is. Did she accept the apology? No. Did she reject it? no. She did what any good little child of the victim culture would do – equated it with a physical assault and over-reacted.
“He came up beside me a few minutes later and I loudly repeated the words, “Don’t touch me!” until he stopped a safe enough distance away.” – jenny
Yup, She’s stable. How did this guy not know she was the wrong person to talk to like she was a friend who could handle humor instead of a lawsuit waiting to happen? This type of behavior cannot be an isolated incident.
The final act in this little drama is predictable. Shaking, crying, screaming and totally out of touch with reality darling jenny then dumps all her past baggage onto this morons head.
“His words inspired no relief and he started to turn away before even giving me a chance to respond. Unfortunately, the desperation of my feelings made me start crying out of sheer frustration. I demanded that he listen to me and I said, “_____, when I am actually able to trust the men in my life and they betray that, I get really angry.”
You can almost hear it from here…
“Daddy? Why didn’t you ever really love me?!”
