Are you suggesting their subconscious is preventing them from telling an outright lie?
These cases always make me so uncomfortable. Yes, we should be careful not to discourage the accuser or put her to a standard that is never required of other crimes. And that’s easy to do when there’s no apparent motive. But here we have an easy target (black and rapper) who is also very famous and rich. There may be…
This is not what I was talking about. The powerful men vs powerless women is not you average workplace situation where the majority of men and women are co-workers not subordinates. I’m also not insinuating that ‘bitches are lying all the time’. I’m merely pointing out that men being extra careful around women in the…
yeah, this is where my thoughts go, as well, because i’ve been on both sides: in an all-male workplace where my co-workers AND supervisor said heinous shit to me and i had no recourse, and in another workplace where someone indeed levied false harassment accusations. in the most glaring case, i knew one accusation to…
...aka ‘women don’t lie’. Yeah, sure!
That’s what everyone said to the Duke Lacrosse team, or the UVA frat guys, or Conor Oberst or the Central Park Five, or.... When you’re innocent, nothing bad can happen to you. Right?
White, middle-class male here: The point is perfectly clear, stop being a sexist (and any other hate) monster, and I can only hope that many of us, especially the younger generation can fix this problem while the older generation dies out. Unfortunately it is never so simple and the knee jerk reaction you see is a…
Yes, he’s missing the point. And women shouldn’t have to deal with the amount of harassment we have to deal with at work.
Nobody has broken into my home yet. Does that mean locking the door is just irrational fear of ‘hypothetical’ burglars? OK.
It takes one person and one false claim. That’s all.
This is not something that happened to me, but any rational person knows that some people lie to get ahead or take revenge or for some other nefarious reason. Why is it unreasonable to believe, that some women will use false claims of sexual harassment to get back at a co-worker they hate or try to eliminate the …
What would lead you to think I’m a troll?
Have you ever worked with someone you really hated or a co-worker who hated your guts? There you have your answer.
I don’t have to do any of those thing. The mere accusation without any proof can and will have consequences for me. If your co-worker accuses you of stealing, he/she has to prove the allegation, with any forms of purported sexual harassment, that is no longere the case. HR will most likely go with the accuser, out of…
The reason you find this so ridiculous is because you will never be in a situation where a man could accuse you of any inappropriate behaviour without being laughed at, safe of you literally ripping his clothes off. You will never be accused of ‘eye raping’, making a man ‘uncomfortable’, ‘sexist’ jokes, ‘accidentally…
“U think the victim is lying”
“I hope he gets charged and is found guilty”
They can bring back the intermission when they stop showing me 20 minutes of commercials when my movie is supposed to start
The first one didn’t do much business at the box office and attained more of a cult following than the typical movie that receives a sequel.
