Fucking buckle in for this one. And please, no harsh words about reporting to HR. This is a rant. I'm dealing with ongoing treatment which is exhausting, as well as moving to a new position within the organization. Blocking is enough for me for right now.

SO.

There is a man on my team at work who started texting me a while ago (I wasn't provided a work phone, my personal number was shared with the group as my job sometimes requires me to be contacted after hours). As the texts weren't work related, I told him to kindly leave me alone and blocked him. I recently checked my blocked messages, and he's been sending a text like every week saying some stupid shit like: "I know these don't go through, but have a great weekend!" WEIRD AND CREEPY.

Now within the last week he found me on WhatsApp. He sent a message which said: "Could I see your scars? You're beautiful and I would love to see them."

WHAT THE FUCK NOW? I replied "do not message me again or I will blow this the fuck up." and deleted WhatsApp.

This is a guy who says he advocates for women, and virtue signals with profile icons that say shit like "no more stolen sisterhood" LOL (in regard to First Nations).

I'm in my late twenties and had double mastectomy surgery to remove breast cancer. How dare he sexualize my CANCER. I feel so disgusted and objectified. The way of men isn't new to me. But if cancer isn't hard enough, I've never had to deal with a man wanting to fuck me because of it. Oh my god.

Don't talk to men at work unless you have to, and keep it brief & cordial when you do.

🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕 to all of you disgusting pigs that fetishize illness.
