That was all quite gentlemanly. I worked for a lawyer who had skirts and stockings as the dress code. Every morning we had inspection. The women lifted their skirts up to their waists to verify we had stockings with garters. No pantyhose. And no runs. He did not tolerate runs in hose.Sexually harassed. A few times. The catcalls on the street are one thing. But having a married coworker rip my scarf off in a bar because he wanted to see more cleavage and I was dressed as a paralegal and not a hooker is another. And I don't enjoy being pinned against a wall. Some people think that's cute.
I once interviewed with a lawyer who upon being told I was married asked "how serious are you about that?"
Then there was the lawyer who out and out told me that my bonus depended on my fucking opposing counsel to negotiate the settlement.
Showing cleavage, in a bar. Kindergarten stuff. You missed the worst of it.
I remember walking into a deposition and the opposing attorney gave me his coffee order. "Sorry Beans, I'm your vicious opposition " his jaw hit the floor.
You don't know shit about sexual harassment.
One lawyer had a bad day when he lost an important motion. He came back to the office with blood in his eye. He picked up an IBM typewriter and threw it at one of the secretaries. Missed her by millimeters.
