How does employing a rapist not constitute an unsafe work environment for female employees?locked

Fosheze@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 316 points –

So I just discovered that I have been working next to the waste of oxygen that raped my best friend several years ago. I work in a manufacturing environment and I know that you can't fire someone just for being a sex offender unless it directly interferes with work duties (in the US). But despite it being a primarily male workforce he does work with several women who have no idea what he is. He literally followed a woman home, broke into her house, and raped her. Him working here puts every female employee at risk. How is that not an unsafe working environment? How is it at even legal to employ him anywhere where he will have contact with women?

I would like you to stop being a rape apologist and actually think about someone other than yourself.

Helpful hint: Responding to this requires one line not 20 paragraphs.

You wouldn't know it for the walls of text you and your ilk have been dropping on people in the thread non-stop all day, but sure, go ahead and completely ignore everything you were told so you can avoid facing how monstrous your stance is.

Hopefully you won't ever be in a situation like OP. But then again, if you were, you'd destroy your relationships with your coworkers defending the rapist, so 🤷

Don't embarrass yourself further by telling me what other people think as you're getting downvoted this hard.
