Published on September 3, 2019, Ciku Muiruri sparked a thought-provoking conversation about workplace harassment, highlighting the often-overlooked reality of men being harassed by predatory gay men and older women in management.
While many would advise victims to report incidents to HR, Muiruri proposes a more nuanced approach: advising women to finesse their sexual harassers.
According to Muiruri, saying no outright to a harasser can be detrimental, as it may damage their ego and lead to job repercussions. Instead, she recommends 'quoting high,' implying that the harasser cannot afford the victim's services.
Her advice, which has sparked both support and criticism, raises questions about the effectiveness of this approach and the potential consequences for victims who choose to follow it.
