Woman Fought Sexual Harassment With Farts, And It Got Her Co-Worker Fired
Sexual harassment is in the spotlight at the moment, with women all over the world finding the courage to stand up for themselves and speak out against something that has been tolerated for way too long.
With high profile movements such as the #metoo campaign, as well as a raft of high profile people now being named and shamed for past inappropriate behaviours, there has never been more moral support for women who feel violated to fight back. And now, thanks to this woman’s story shared on Reddit, there is a new weapon against unwanted advances: revenge farts.
“It was MY way of using my ass as a weapon. A weapon against him,” she explained about the incident, which occurred soon after her colleague, Ted, had ‘accidently’ groped her. “I think more women should just do it. Who cares if it’s not feminine? It’s not gentlemanly but accepted to be groped. Why not have men fear the ass?”
Scroll down below to see how the episode unfolded. Is this an acceptable or effective way to deal with a creep who won’t stop inappropriately touching female colleagues? Let us know what you think in the comments!

Well, the sad component is that it seems like several harassed people would not or could not raise their voices. And with five women as victims, surely more people must have witnessed something. We do not need revenge, we need a culture where everyone is entitled a life free of harassment.
We need to form a culture that teaches young kids that yes means yes and no means no while also teaching that they can always walk away, tell someone else or call it off.

I so wish I could fart on demand. There are so many instances where it would have been an appropriate and perfect response
I think doing the noise with your mouth would be sufficient. My problem is that whenever something like this happens to me, I tend to freeze.

what makes men think that they are entitled to pinch you in the a*s or make their hands go near your breast??? that is why i support the #metoo movement because they are men that think this is ok , that is not bad and they go away with not consequences then they scale to abuse power .
There's a vast number of things that directly or indirectly make people think that women's #1 goal is men. How often have you heard a man offer his opinion on how much makeup women should be wearing, what length of hair he prefers, what they should wear, how women doing this or that will be emasculating? And the opinions are often unsolicited. A lot of men even have trouble comprehending lesbians, because they're not about men. They're A-OKAY with them for a threesome though. In view of all this, feeling entitled to a woman's body... not surprising. Fortunately not too generalized, but not surprising.
