Message: [QUOTE="sarals24, post: 2062100, member: 1740"] She can certainly tell her story without disparaging the entire league. Her bad experience on her team is clearly not the experience other straight players in the league are having. Again, I am NOT saying she's lying, or that her experience is anything other than what she says it was. But it doesn't seem fair to extend this experience to the league as a whole, while lumping 98% of the players into a category of people she says bullied her. For the record, I have been sexually harassed at work, and it sucked. It is isolating, and difficult, and makes you dread waking up in the morning. So when I finally spoke up about my harasser, and it was dealt with, it was liberating and I had a whole new perspective on my workplace. What I didn't do was disparage the entire place for the actions of one person (or in Wiggin's case, a few, it seems.) If she didn't speak up while it was happening, how could she make it a better place for others? Please don't misconstrue this as victim blaming - I know it is difficult to speak up when you are in the minority. But the timing of this, and the way her remarks seem designed to incite rather than educate make me less inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt. [/QUOTE]
