And this is really scary.
I started thinking about self-confidence and all that other hippie crap, but it started me thinking about my relationship in an RA-type role to other college students my age, and how from time to time there will be someone who is just a total ass to me or another person; in those situations, our word is almost always taken over theirs, as a default.
But then I hear about stories where an RA is a total ass, and he basically manages to make enough enemies of his residents that they get him fired.
Does any man realize how dangerous it is living in contemporary American society? All it would take for a man in my position would be to have a female resident accuse us of sexual harassment to cost us our job. It wouldn't matter if we weren't even in the area at the time of the incident, if the facts didn't add up, or anything. I know the bureaucracy I work in, and they take public relations as a top priority - they do not hesitate to let someone go if they generate even an iota of controversy. Accusations like these are on our records for a lonng time, especially when a person works for any sort of public institution.
Every now and then I start to relax in my role, then I read stories about situations like this, and it makes me reconsider why I'm even doing this. This sh1t is flimsy.
