The fuck? One of my professors at uni just asked me out?!

[medea_aries]

No, seriously. Apparently he doesn't think that's inappropriate, or weird, or abusive coming from a person in a position of power, or anything of the sort.

But that's not all. When I dodged (because god forbid I be forthright and tell him I'm not interested, thankyouverymuch), he started going about how I thought he was ugly, and how I was making a

Holy shit. *hugs HUGS HUGS*

I really wish I had some kind of advice to give you, love, but...I kind of wanna go explode in rage and kick some ass now.

*hugs some more*

*hugs* It's OK. I just... need the support.

Argh, this makes me so angry. I'm really sorry to hear that you have to put up with this shit. It's completely unacceptable behavior, not even mentioning his position. Do you have a student support service that could help and also keep things confidential?

((((hugs))))

*hugs* Hey babe ♥

I have no idea if I have one. I have no idea what to do. The only one I can think about that will keep things confidential is the psychiatrist in charge of the Let's Keep Students from Throwing Themselves off the Roof program, and that's because she has to. If I go to the student center, it'll be all over the faculty as gossip.

There's the woman that is in charge of student affairs, but she knows this guy, she worked with him not that long ago because he's an alumni, and since he has had such a difficult live, they know each other pretty well, and I know this for a fact. She might be more invested in him than in trying to help me.

I'm sorry, sweetie, this sounds like such a difficult situation. It could be worth talking to someone like the psychiatrist even if they don't have any authority to do anything about it, but maybe they could help you in how to deal with it. IDK. I hope you're ok, and I'm sending you all the supportive hugs over the internet at you. ♥

It's not bad advice, love, specially because I know for a fact that, when I dropped out of one of his classes, he started going after a friend of mine. I want to be that brave woman that steps forward and keeps this from happening to others, but he really, really has me backed into a corner. As in, I could be indirectly kicked out for this. If the rest off the professors take his side, they could make sure I fail their courses. And not only that, but he could actually make it very difficult for me to be hired on any good jobs if I start anything over this, once I graduate.

I want to follow you advice, I really do. But I'm in latin america, where chauvinism runs rampant, and I don't know if I'll dare. And I'm so ashamed about myself for it.

D: D: D: Oh my god, what the hell? I'm sorry I can't offer any kind of advice, but *hugs*. I hope there's a way you can sort this asshole out.

[medea_aries]

*hugs* the support helps. It really, really does. I'm so scared and so angry at him and at myself. If I was stronger, I could go against him, if I was smarter, I would have just told him I'm with someone when he asked, but it came from the left field and...

God, I'm so stupid.

*hugs* Thank you for taking the time to comment.
