Sexual harassment in the sky: Hong Kong flight attendants fight back

Immaculate-looking flight attendants who appear unruffled by the demands of a life spent in the air are part of the slick image sold by carriers -- but Hong Kong-based workers are increasingly hitting back against sexual harassment.

Female cabin crew told AFP of how they had been harassed by not only passengers but also other airline staff.

While they say carriers have made some steps in the right direction, they argue airlines still lag far behind in the #MeToo era.

Venus Fung, whose experiences drove her to join and lead the Cabin Attendants Union of Hong Kong, says airlines must teach workers on how to deal with harassment.

I think a lot of what you are saying is based upon current societal creations. Men having egos allowing them to be targets, women being targets, children being targets, are no different than people being accosted with the violent crimes in our surroundings.

Ah, but with men there is a difference. The difference is that men choose to be victims, or to be more accurate, they choose for other men to be victims when the culprit is female and they think they can get something out of it. A man who is facing violence from a woman doesn't just have to deal with that woman. He has to deal with a bunch of "heroes" who are looking to score.

As I pointed out, if women's issues are getting more attention, it's because women are investing more into the fight for their rights. A lot more. Say what you want about the feminists, when it comes to gender equality they are still ahead of anything anything men have managed to organize.

BTW, good job.:)
