40+ Women Share How They React to Men and Their Inappropriate Behavior

Not all men are bad. But unfortunately, a lot of them just feel way too comfortable being inappropriate around women, be it in a professional setting or otherwise. Why they feel OK with doing this, we have no idea, but women around the world have been forced to deal with it. From calling them out on it to flipping the script, here are the many ways they react to inappropriate behavior.

Many women feel they can't say anything about their boss and his inappropriate behavior, lest they lose their job. Unfortunately, this is true in many scenarios. But sometimes, your superior can get in a lot of trouble for what he says.

The worst thing a woman can do when responding to inappropriate behavior from men is to entertain it. After all, that gives the impression that you find it acceptable. But, if you don't want to be outright snarky, a good way to respond is to be as technical and factual as possible.

Some companies even teach their employees how to respond to inappropriate behavior, although how well they do that tends to vary. In this case, though, these are good ways to react - feign confusion and ask someone what they mean or repeat themselves.

The sad reality is that many men are inappropriate even with girls much younger than them. Even minors. In those cases, you can't always expect a young teenager to know how to react. But, of course, you should be able to trust the mom to take care of it.
