Yep. Which is a primitive and fucking stupid impulse that any thinking human should feel ashamed for indulging.

The weird thing is that they believe they are owed an explanation for why they can’t use it. That is the whitest part of the entire equation.

Agree 100%

“Basket of deplorables” was objectively the correct description...but still the wrong thing to say in public while on the campaign trail. Signed, Massive Hillary Fan

Joe & Megyn should check their facts. Hillary Clinton did go to those states. And she had a clear message. She states her campaign’s data showed that they were covered in Wisconsin, but if she found out they weren’t she would have been there more.

You’re quaint. Like, 1990-workplace quaint.

Oh no dude, we get it. “Oh, Carol, I’m so SORRY! I had no IDEA I wasn’t allowed to stick my dick in the intern’s mashed potatoes and ask what her lady parts smelled like. I merely meant it as part of a cheeky welcome to the organization! I’ll do my best going forward, apologies but maybe you should revise your…

“So the question to me is, is it harassment for one coworker to ask another if they wish to have sex”

It’s not the act in question; it’s the context of the act. And yes, walking up to a relative stranger in a workplace and saying, “hey, wanna bone?” Or “hey, could you blow me?” Or “how about we go and dry hump?” Would all also have been wrong. Because of... THE CONTEXT!

“But there are people who do do this. Who do so while operating within in the bounds of sexual harassment policy.”

“Thus are the many faceted ways of the heart.”

You’ve said you don’t engage in romance with colleagues like 50 times in this thread.

It has been my experience that in one’s endeavors to become a potential sexual partner often times sexual things are discussed. Sometimes one miscalculates in attempting this.

But surely whether or not a person is receptive to sexual advances is not the metric as to whether or not they are appropriate.

1. He decided it was a good idea to masturbate at work. Incredibly inappropriate and it creates a terrible envrionment for, you know, the people who don’t wish to see/hear him masturbate while they try to go about their jobs.

Crazy how much people overthink how complicated this all is.

I dunno how that is NOT harassment. Have we crossed the sexual rubicon to the point that asking a woman to watch you jerk off is acceptable behavior? Take it out of the colleague realm for a moment, Cabbie asks. Passenger says no thank you. Everybody cool with that? How about a waiter? “My name is Eliot and I’ll be…

You really don’t see the problem with asking a colleague in a professional situation if they’ll watch you masturbate? He has power over the careers/opportunities these women are exposed to. Do you do that at work? Walk into the lunch room and ask the first woman you see if she’ll look at your dick?

Crazy how much people overthink how complicated this all is. It’s really easy to understand!

Any guy scared enough to be adopting the Mike Pence rule is a guy who needs to adopt the Mike Pence rule. Let them tell on themselves.
