Today, I went to my company's HR manager to ask what the procedure was to file a sexual harassment complaint since my boss exposed himself to me. His response was that the procedure is to "get over it." And he went back to reading. FML

I don't know anything about Australian law, but I suspect it's illegal for him to ignore your concerns like that. Talk to a lawyer--at very least, the company should transfer you to another department so you don't have to work with your current boss, if not fire him.

The heart of the issue is that she was shown something that she didn't want to see in the first place. Sexual Harassment isn't a "suck it up and get over it." Once you see something like that u can't unsee it. Seek legal help and charges filed against him. Apologize for that having to happen.

You're a real bitch for wanting to file charges over this. Get off your high horse and get the **** back to work. they don't pay you to complain.

are you kidding me? if i went over to you and flashed my genitals i think you'd be a little pissed. especially if i was a supposedly older male boss. and we were at a workplace. no matter what you say on the internet, in real life you'd be like "what the hell is wrong with you!"

Ohmigod people will do anything to say "YDI". Her boss flashed himself to this woman and you're all like "get over it". It's not ******* okay to show someone your penis randomly and at work!!

For those of us who have lived a little, we can say honestly that there are a lot worse things that could happen in life and ghis is not so bad. Most of us would get over something like this. However, if he is a sleazeball and the job is shit then sue. it's your one big chance.

I can't believe some of you guys. You say the OP should get over it because she's probably seen a penis before. By that logic, should a rape victim also get over it because they've probably had sex before? **** no. OP, that is terrible. Go to someone higher up. Don't listen to these ***** or your HR.

Firstly: I can't believe half of these comments! Just because something 'happens all the time' does not make it right or acceptable. Secondly: Guys, just because you have a dick, does not mean that every girl wants to **** you. Thirdly: I agree with #26.

There is higher up than human resources. If that fails then go to the police and have him charged with indecent exposure.

Wow. The appallingly sexist comments on this thread make me utterly ashamed of my gender.

Comparing a man exposing himself to a woman with cleavage is like comparing apples and oranges. Men aren't typically bothered by that, and plus, if women DON'T act all sexy they get treated like crap. There's a huge difference between male genitalia and breasts.

Breasts aren't even genitals. They're secondary sex characteristics (you know, like facial hair and adam's apples). Comparing them to genitals is laughable....
