I spend no small amount of time each day thinking about all the disgusting things I want to do to the women I meet. So imagine my surprise when I was asked to join a womenās group in my industry as an āally!ā They told me I have always been very supportiveā¦.
So now I get to go to events, have drinks, play golf, and, most recently, become a mentor.
I love being an ally.
So hereās the scenario: Iām assigned as your mentor. Youāre new to the industry. Just making your way. Trying to develop a stellar reputation. Just your luck you were assigned to me.
We meet for coffee. Once, twice. I listen well. Give good advice. You feel heard and seen. Youāve met someone who understands the difficulties of being a woman in the workplace.
One day, a late afternoon coffee becomes drinks. One quick drink becomes several and now things are different. Suddenly you notice my gaze has changed. A comforting pat on the shoulder becomes a lingering touch. A jovial slap of the thigh becomes a caress. An accidental nudge of your breasts feels more purposeful.
Will you say anything or will you hold your tongue? What about when I offer to split a car home. It turns out I keep a pied e terre right near where you live. Would you shy away or would be share an Uber. Would you sit close to me or try to get away. Would you object when my hand found your thigh in the dark and began slowly moving upward?
Will you accept the invitation for a night cap on my balcony? When will you say āstopā?
