A tearful Savannah Guthrie

edit

Honestly I’m mostly annoyed with the press who failed to ask the most basic question: wasn’t the reference to Warren in regards to his distain for her? So in that case, why would he disrespect his guests so much as to prod them to take sides? What does Warren’s alleged lie have to do with them? It was so simple, guys.…

EDIT. Kinja crashes, hopefully full paragraph appears now.....

Ah, the good old South. I’ve been many times and loved it. And I can tell you, any true Gentleman would rather poke out his eye than make someone uncomfortable. Just because the idea sounds old-fashioned doesn’t mean that men practicing this good deed are senile and mindless. They have the ability to adapt just like…

Forecefully stepping in to take over her job and commenting on her “inadequate” body size is wildly inappropriate. It was surely some kind of discrimination / inappropriate behavior.

I’ll try to find the study but some research suggests these trainings can trigger hostility in harassers and make the problem worse (remember, these are often angry, immature men with poor impulse control). Having real consequences and clear rules might be better.

I’m glad to hear the guy was fired. The comment was unwelcomed. Would you make the same remark to your male boss? (No seriously, walk up to your male superior tomorrow and tell him he “Looks nice”).

Harassers take note, you might be reassured when a legal case against you is weak, that certainly doesn’t mean you won’t be fired. Now that Pandora is out, this is even more true and the law is sure to broaden. In many workplaces, including my own, harassment is defined as anything that makes someone uncomfortable,…

Say it loud! 👏

Having done Biology field work I’ve been taught self-defense, and it comes in handy all the time. I keep my guard up for creeps. Whenever I’ve the slightest suspicion of a “hugger”, I keep a wide stance (for balance), and I keep my arms and hands in front of my sternum. If a guy goes in for the hug, I grab his hand…

I didn’t realize the crawler didn’t say who it was. That’s Joe Biden, Obama’s VP which is prob. why few people said anything. This is chronic behavior for him, and btw that’s a teenager he was kissing. Really wished I could un-see THAT!

Right on, lady. You know who else should quit......

I’m with you on HRC, sister. I’d say that it’s up to the victim to forgive him, and personally I hope she does not. But then again it’s not my call. 🌸

He absolutely needs to quit. Yes we lose a rep in the White House but how else are we going to show we’re serious about this issue? When they go low, we go high. He SHOULD have been fired when it happened. At this point I think it’s time friends for the all or nothing strategy.

Unlike everybody else, I know exactly why 45 brought this up. It’s because he thinks if he has actual Native Americans in the room with him, it’s their job to lick his balls and take his side in the pissing contest between he and Warren. I don’t even support her but as an aside I think it’s ridiculous to hang this…

You think we actually elected him? Oh. That’s adorable. (As an aside, if you want to argue that we did, might want to call him The President instead of Our Ruler).

Shout out to both Dictionary for getting into the media and making good English cool again, and Miriam Webster who if you don’t already is a MUST follow on Twitter. Hint: they like to trash 45. 🙂 I also feel compelled to mention that instead of shame we can leap into action for the new year. 2 ideas: one, instead of…

Sorry I’m late to the party. A few years ago, at my lake, a break from jogging to pee in the woods. Pulled up my shorts, shortly after felt a sharp stab. Guess where. Paused, resumed jogging. A few minutes later my butt began to itch, but it stopped quickly. I got home and had kind of a bad intuitive feeling. Looked,…

Hell, I would go even further than this. “Do you want to give Grandma a hug”? in front of the whole family is a lot more social pressure to girls who are taught to never say no. So when they arrive, your job is to simply make sure they are not grabbed and forced into a hug they don’t want.
