I worked in the Gaming Industry, tending bar at well known Hotels and Casinos in Nevada. Talk about being grabbed and patted on my butt by bosses and fellow bartenders. It was an every day occurrence!
I don't give these so-called charges against Herman Cain one ounce of credibility. Like another FReeper wrote last night, almost any man can be charged with sexual harassment, and dependent on his position, and the cost of defending the lawsuit, settlements are most always the easiest and least costly venue, (or they were in those days).
Careful ma'am, Laz will be here any second.
almost any man can be charged with sexual harassment,
In the social climate of recent decades, everyone is hugging everyone as a casual expression of affection.
Now, do you have to ask on every occasion...
Was that a "consensual hug"...or sexual harassment?
I don’t know any woman who has not been sexually harassed at some point in her life. Many men are pigs. That what makes this so effect as a smear. For many people the mere accusation is going proof of guilt.
Men need to grow up. When they see this sort of behavior, they need to call their buddies on being morons, not laugh it off.
Great post and I would suggest that its even easier to make these claims in the South simply because of the nature of many southerners where hugs for women are generally the rule over handshakes.
