So... many years ago, a coworker brought in boob chocolate -- little white chocolates with pink nipples, all individually wrapped in clear plastic so you can see them.
He gave them to all coworkers. We worked in a board of education.

That alone was inappropriate. I& #39;m starting to shake just thinking about it wow
Anyway he and my cis male SUPERVISOR began discussing how to best enjoy the boob (the chocolate) but it was completely full of innuendo. The woman next to me laughed nervously.

I kind of blacked out. I went home on lunch break and sat on the floor. I didn& #39;t even eat I was so angry and I took the next day off. I realize I was fortunate to be able to do that, but it was my partner who had to point out how f*cked up that was.
Some people can do so much to make an environment like... completely hostile in that way. And people will defend that kind of language. "Locker room talk." "Adult talk." "It& #39;s just a joke."
That wasn& #39;t even the worst thing I& #39;ve seen or heard about in those kinds of situations and it& #39;s still hard to talk about, because some part of me is worried I misunderstood the situation. That& #39;s messed up.
Once a teacher got drunk at an event and came onto me, asking invasive questions. Friends and other teachers tried to derail him, and put themselves between us. One of them got harassed, too.
I told a friend and she told me about some of her own horror stories.

Next time I saw that teacher the studio leader forced him to apologize. I wasn& #39;t expecting it. Was told not to expect it. I was grateful to my studio leader -- still respect him.
I& #39;m still trying to justify behavior of both the creepy events so I need to stop.
