***What it shows is that the men don’t believe the women are playing fair and telling the truth.***

Remember the old movie KITTEN WITH A WHIP in which Ann Margaret holds John Forsythe hostage with the words...”All I have to do is mess my hair and scream! One look at me and who would believe YOU!”

It is a real win, and a fantastic side effect, for the postmodernist feminists to have male sexuality criminalized while taking down the real perverts.

Yes, exactly. Never believe that it was unintentional.

I wonder how many high profile men will get themselves outfitted with a body cam of some sort.

It’s becoming too dangerous to interact with certain women. Trouble is you don’t know who those women are until you have been falsely accused.

Of course there are real male predators out there. But there are also those who have been falsely accused and ruined.

Yep. Trust women, especially in a workplace, as far as you could spit them. Even after knowing them, tread very carefully. MGTOW is growing.

I witnessed this in the corporate workplace years ago. Men afraid of sexual harassment charges were happy to connect women only with female mentors. For your comfort, for your shared experiences.

Pols might be tempted to replace office hotties with men or old, ugly women. It would be the smart thing to do.

I’ve seen people (including white female managers) avoid hiring blacks to avoid racial issues; it stands to reason men would do the same with women.

A certain baseball owner was quoted as saying he didn't hire any blacks because it was "impossible to fire them". It may be the same will be true with women.

If you can in any way avoid it never, EVER, employ a woman or a minority. Sure as the sun comes up each morning it will come back to haunt you. Speaking from experience.

I can see that as a huge result of this issue, compliments of “the law of unintended consequences”. If women’s libbers want to play this fragile flower game, they’ll have to deal with having a rough time finding work.

I have always felt there was a correlation between the birth of sexual harassment laws in the 1980s and the rise in strip clubs. In strip clubs, you can compliment a woman for her appearance without fear of reprisal as long as you have a wad of $20 bills. In a sense they were sexual harassment zones as long as you didn't try to take things too far.

Never be alone with a woman. And it’s better if the 3rd person is a woman you trust, like a wife or sister. It’s a decent rule of thumb and nothing new. It’s been wisdom for forever.

Yes, unfortunately the “safer” legal option seems to be believing the female accuser...

Certainly; on top of that, you have to pay them more than intended to keep lawyers and the government at bay.

Absolutely; here in my state of NJ it is easy enough to find someone else who can “check a box” to maintain minority quotas. Hispanic and Asian men, for instance...
