I work in a truck stop and yesterday I had a very bad experience with a customer. Some old redneck jerk made some very lewd remarks to me, and when I got rude with him, he acted as though he had done nothing wrong and that I should have taken whatever he dished out at me. Unfortunately, this isn't the only time some man has thought that he had the right to sexually harass me. It makes me wonder, though, what kind of mothers these men had. I don't wish to blame everything on the parents, since adults are responsible for their own behavior, regardless of their upbringing. However, it seems to me that as women, mothers in particular would make it a point to try to teach their sons to have respect for women. Apparently, though, this isn't always the case. What gives?
