Total crap. The Duke case was an obvious fraud very early on to anyone without an agenda. It only existed because the usual suspects on the left pushed it in order to attack their enemies.
Now these same pigs are getting back what they shoved down our throats. Why give them a life line when they’re on the ropes? Bloody foolish.
If I were an employer, I would seriously consider not hiring both men and women. It’d be an either or proposition. I certainly would avoid having them work together. Not worth the trouble. I’m sure a more crafty employer could figure out a way to make it work without appearing unfairly discriminatory.
The man is always guilty. Any time a female accuses a man of something, he is fired and has no recourse. They interview him, not to hear his defense, but to convict him with his words.
Do not attempt to interact with females in the workplace. Treat them like you would a robot. Engaging in pleasant conversation is not going to protect you. All that is needed is for the hysteric to get a idea in her head that you might be interested in you know what, and you’re finished.
Robot.
And who was instrumental in bringing about that state of affairs? Why, the same Hollywood-Media-Academia axis that is taking it in the shorts right now.
Defending these pukes will not do a thing to improve the situation you describe. If you let them off the hook, they will go right back to pushing the same crap.
Once you tear down that axis, everything else becomes easier.
ya and then some women complain that it is so difficult to meet good men after college. I wonder why LOL.
“I’m a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess.”
“Do not attempt to interact with females in the workplace. Treat them like you would a robot. Engaging in pleasant conversation is not going to protect you.”
This is EXACTLY my attitude towards women in the workplace. I speak only when spoken to. Too risky otherwise.
I generally side with guys in these things.
However, texting a pic of his crotch DOES qualify as sexual harassment - would be taken as a threatening gesture by most women - and should never be tolerated or excused by thinking/saying:
“How many “sexual harassment” complaints are just inexperienced guys making childish, awkward attempts to get a woman to like him?”
I have, against my better judgment, taken on two women to mentor in my career since that event when pushed by the CFO (my boss) to do so. Fortunately, both of those turned out just fine - one of which I still occasionally hear from for career advice even though she's 1000 miles away now & we're both now in a different industry than at the time.
I’m in my mid 30s and fortunately think I just missed when sending nude pics became “normal” in the dating game (got married at 24). I would *never* send something that would be “permanently” out there so to speak. Who the hell would send such a thing to a co-worker? Mind-boggling.
You realize John Hawkins the author of the op-ed didn’t say that, correct?
Personally I think much of this explains the MGTOW movement.
I agree, mind-boggling to say the least. I’m thinking they might be the generation that was instructed on putting items on cucumbers.
I feel badly for guys, as there are a lot of crazies who would file charges for normal behavior. But there is a line, and a crotch pic goes way beyond ‘picking up on a signal.’
It’s bad when DNA testing clears everyone on the Duke lacrosse team before
any arrests are made, and then arrests are still made (of the richest players on the team) because, well, it’s such a good narrative that it just can’t be allowed to not be true.
The standard for sexual harassment must be kept high, and it must be proved. Rape and assault are one thing, but saying “You look nice today” or “I like that dress” is not harassment—sexual or otherwise. Furthermore, anyone who falsely and intentionally accuses a man or woman of rape, assault, or harassment must be subject to suit for damages and perhaps also incarceration.
At 55, I never thought I'd find myself on the dating scene again and I have to say, what's going on today really gives reasonable people pause to wonder whether or not dating is even worth it. Before I go further I do want to say I'm (unfortunately..) very familiar with how sexual abuse/harassment works due to what my now ex-wife went through. The stats on just how many women have been sexually abused are staggering so it's not a leap by any stretch to look at these claims being made today by the Weinstein, Kevin Spacey and other accusers to believe they're true. Sure, some women will "pile on" for their 15 minutes of fame too at the expense of the real victims however that doesn't diminish the damage people like Weinstein have done to women and Spacey's done to young men.
Having said that, I have a very nice career, I'm a high income earner and I lead a nice life post-divorce. All these articles and accusations have me seriously re-thinking whether or not I want to "risk" that all dating again and trying to find a companion for the rest of my life.
Just the mere accusation these days in this environment is enough to literally destroy someone, whether or not the claim is true. It's sad some women would do that too. It destroys lives, even the lives of the real victims by diminishing what's happened to them.
Thanks for your post, it was spot-on and very thought provoking.
Yup. This is why it is delightfully entertaining watching leftist icons fall as dominos. It couldn’t happen to a more pretentious and preening lot.
I think anyone who falsely accuses someone of rape or assault should be up on the same exact penalties of what the person they falsely accused would be up against on those charges.
Yes.
