"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Tell me about it. In every commercial you see, its the white male who is the villian. The poster child for this nonense is the Wachovia commerical where a Black women gets her identity stolen by a white, middle-aged jogger. This has sunk into our culture--most non-white males think that we are hopelessly incompetent and that everyone else knows better. No wonder why we elected Obama. Obviously, these people have never enjoyed the paradise that is the non-Western world.
The military has quarterly training requirements for sexual harassment and equal opportunity. Its been going on for about 2 decades. The best part is my unit is all male, so you can just imagine the background noise when we are told not to sexually harass each other.
This is the key phrase. In my very first corporate diversity training I learned I was wrong when the question was asked of us if sending an email to a coworker asking her out on a date could be construed to be sexual harassment. My first thought, obviously, was that it all depends on the context. But, no, not at all. It depends on her reaction to whatever it was I wrote.
Amazingly, if she was somehow offended by your asking her out to dinner, then, yes, you are now an official sexual harasser.
You hit this right on the head.
I have worked in Heath Care for 27 years, and it is full of it. I understand the concepts behind it. And I understand the reasons for doing it.
I feel exactly the same way you feel. I don’t need a frikking class to tell me what sexual harassment is. I don’t NEED a class to tell me how to be sensitive to other people’s race/creed/gender and so on.
My parents taught me right from wrong. It makes my skin crawl to sit through these “classes” every year. I bring a book if I have to, and I copy the test from someone else. This irritates me to no end.
What really gets me is the attitude “This isn’t directed at white people/men/protestants/insert whatever here, it is directed at ALL people...”
Yeah, right. I effing hate it. It is the same mentality that makes companies require procedure manuals for every damned thing. You can’t use your commonsense anymore, because that simply doesn’t exist in people, apparently. So we have this huge bureaucracy maintaining these HUGE manuals with revisions and every other bureaucratic crap under the sun.
I hate it. You described it very, very well.
Life for white males is going to get increasingly unhappy as we become the only race on Earth not deserving of respect or admiration simply because the color of our skin matches the color of slave owners.
This is why the Left hates the Jews, because they are the only white skinned race that gets respect.
If the concern is about following sexual harassment rules, then without question the worst offenders, in my corporate experience, are women. Nearly all make sexual jokes, use sexual language, and some are often physically provocative.
They act this way because they know they can get away with it. Their attitude is the same as some ethnic leaders who assert that their group cannot possibly be racist because they are not white. These women believe they cannot possible be guilty of breaking the corporate rules of sexual harassment because they are woman.
Just for the record, I think most of the sexual harassment stuff is nonsense — men and woman alike can hardly breath without breaching the rules of our feminist/womyn legal-system masters. They day that someone decided that “feeling uncomfortable” is the basis of a tort action, is the day we lost another one of our freedoms.

Already you are speaking at a level which the liberals are incapable of comprehending.
I always refused to have anything to do with any kind of training other than technical training. Either just flat out refused to go or went on the out of town trip and then skipped out or read magazines. Did folks “tell on me?”? Yeah, they did, but nothing ever happened.
The Left is an infection.
I heard another crying Liberal yesterday say when I said we needed to enforce the border that “they do the jobs we won’t do” I retorted, “then why are our jails filled with non-workers” he then said racism played a part of why they were in jail. He says they have no opportunity and we should give up our station in life to help them, be it taxes or affirmative action. He would rather be homeless (so he says) than keep another man, “down”.
I then asked if he wanted to sell his home, or adopt a few Mexican foster kids...if he really wanted to help out.
He said no, but he thought our taxes should be raised for the good of everyone and Obama had the right idea.
So, for all you Freepers out there who think the Left isn’t insane, let me tell you, it is.
The Sarah in question did not have a hot body.
People pass laws against that which they fear. The various “protected categories” are those who are presently taking over positions of control in our previously Western Society. Therefore, by passing laws and seeking to inculcate “customs” through movies, television and such sessions as mentioned in the main article, they are seeking to protect and consolidate what control thay have achieved to date. The protected will ultimately fail because they are bungled. They are intellectually, morally and psychologically incapable of controlling themselves much less our country. The problem is that when their failure becomes obvious much damage will have been sustained and further damage will be sustained in their forceable supression. Tragic.
How much shareholders money is being wasted on these “diversity consultants”? Isn’t this the kind of wasteful spending major corporations need to rein in?
Thankfully, I am now retired, but while I worked as a civilian employee of the Department of the Army, I was forced to endure this same training. It was labeled Consideration of Others. When I pointed out that I was a minister’s child and my parents had taught me early on to do unto others as I would have them do unto me, my immediate supervisor informed me that the training was MANDATORY. In other words, either you attend the training or you will be written up for insubordination. We progressed from that to something known as POSH - actually Prevention of Sexual Harassment - which was not required until William Jefferson Clinton occupied and defiled the Oval Office. I strongly resented being subjected to these lunacies since I have never knowingly mistreated or harassed any person in my entire life, but if you want to keep your job with the government, you attend. It does not matter in the slightest if you find it offensive or insulting!

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: If they make a mistake, I dont want them punished with a baby.
I found out while in the Navy that there are numerous ways to make the boss look bad without leaving any fingerprints. Also works with coworkers, too.
Had one feminazi at a company I worked for who liked to pull the harassment stuff. After one of the more popular male engineers left because of her, her team got tired of the bs and dealt with her. First, they arranged to get her promoted into a position they knew she couldn't handle. Then, the sabotage began - little things, all perfectly innocent to an outside observer - and to Ms. Feminazi, at first - and not traceable back to an individual. Suffice to say, deadlines slipped, and eventually she couldn't talk her way out of being canned.
The interesting thing about all this is that the team's women engineers were especially sneaky and crafty. It's not just men that get tired of this crap.
I’m offended by this. Who can I complaint to, and will they pay me money?
