Your question makes no sense. Why would a man make that particular kind of accusation, a sexual-harassment based one? Because he thought it might be effective, that’s why. Any port in a storm, eh?

No shit! I’m a tall, strong, very athletic woman. I’ve shut down gropers and harassers with ease on multiple occasions. But you know what? It still feels slimy. It still leaves me angry. And for me, knowing what I’m capable of physically and having to restrain myself from doing it, which requires considerable effort,…

Thank you! This poster seems to believe that all a woman has to do to get a guy fired is make some baseless accusation. Nope. Not that simple. Not by a long shot.

“Is kissing someone in affection, however inappropriately, or showing someone a photo of a nude male torso necessarily predatory behavior?”

I’m sorry...what? Your straight maleness won’t stop someone who’s vindictive, dishonest, and out for revenge, which is what you seem to be assuming about women on the job. Any man can lie and say you groped him or harassed him sexually, and lie about it. Your straight maleness is no more a shield in that scenario than…

I read that story. The man and the four women were total strangers - the four women had never met the cab driver, and vice versa. What we’re talking about here is people who work together. When you work with people, you get a chance to evaluate their character. You then make informed, appropriate choices. So the case…

Yes, I think that’s great! No evil at my table, thank you very much. And the GOP, and Trump, are pure, unadulterated evil.

Sure, maybe it creates a bigger shit storm. But if you’re not there to see it, who cares? Just walking out, just hanging up, just not responding to text messages or Facebook posts...all wonderful things.

They’re apes AND heels.

He looks like something off a Hitler Youth recruiting poster. A real chip off the old block. Fascist little prick.

You voted third party? Yes, you are naive. Being gay and Latino doesn’t mitigate that fact. It’s your actions that count. You voted to kill the planet. You voted to balloon the deficit and the debt. You voted for injustice. You are part of the problem. I’m glad I don’t know you. If I did, we wouldn’t be in touch for…

Northern California’s great, and I love living in the Bay Area. Housing here is very, very expensive, though. Nice if you can afford it...or if you’re willing to move to somewhere like Dixon, Antioch or Rio Vista.

Smug, self-righteous white male satisfaction, and the happy anticipation of being able to listen to the screams of “witches” burned at the stake. He’s a modern day Torquemada in a cheap suit. And he knows he - like Putin - will be able to play Trump like a fiddle. As will all the other swamp-dwellers gathering around…

And so it continues. Trump is really pretty mainstream GOP:

You’re entitled to your opinion. However, while you are free to voice your opinion, I am free to disregard it. Which I do. Enjoy playing patty-cake with the folks who want to fuck you, fuck the planet, and fuck anyone who isn’t a white, male sociopath. BTW, I think being naive is pretty fucked up.

...and the greed, the stupidity, the cluelessness and the white privilege. Nauseating.

The next economic meltdown is what it will take to wake them up. You think they voted for Obama because they cast aside their bigotry? I don’t. They voted for him because they were FURIOUS with Bush for cratering the economy. They were losing their jobs and losing their homes. They couldn’t ignore it. They were…

Yes indeed, and with automation taking over most of the jobs that used to exist in factories. We cannot go back. But this is a rich country, and the stupid, blind, impractical, delusional ones in the herd don’t get culled. That’s unfortunate.

You’re right. Love won’t work on them. Only fear motivates them. I honestly do not think they know what love is anyway, unless it is 100% self-serving (e.g. “my family.” “ my wife.” “my kids”).. And that’s not my idea of love. That’s possessiveness and selfishness.

The environment is my number one concern, which is why I voted for Clinton. Your friend is a fool. And part of being a fool is not taking responsibility.
