Their first game against Argentina was brutal. Their passing was trash, and their game plan didn’t even account for a defensive front. They had all the possession and barely looked dangerous.

If the joke is sexual in nature, then yes, it is sexual harassment. Pantomiming boob grabbing is a sexualized joke.

And she got a lot of backlash for saying that Bill Clinton should have resigned the presidency. She also wasn’t in politics until after Clinton’s time in office. Yes, she considers Hillary a role model, but that doesn’t equal liking Bill.

Well wasn’t she the first one to say something on it? She was the most prominent at the time.

Yes, and I don’t think Franken would have been forced to resign if there weren’t other accusations. 

She wasn’t in on that particular joke. Which is different from the shitty other jokes that she may have made. 

Great points. 

Hmm... I think many people would have been fine with the apology and acceptance of the apology... but more women accused him of worse. If this wasn’t part of what seemed to be habitual acts, I think Franken would still be a senator (or may have been primaried, who knows).

It’s important to remember that she wasn’t in on the joke - like she didn’t pose for that photo. Being an unwitting participant in someone else’s joke is not the same as making a joke about the topic. 

And people will just eat this up because their dear leader is perfect. 

Agreed. He was wrong. And Gillibrand probably killed any hopes of political advancement for staying consistent on the matter. When it comes to this topic, Gillibrand is the most consistent. It’s like her whole career, so I wasn’t surprised she took a definitive step first. But because she was the most vocal about it,…

We know that Franken did, in fact sexually harass one person: the woman in the photograph. She was asleep, unaware that she was being used as a prop for a “har, har, grab the boobs” photo (yes I know he was pantomiming it, at least he knew not to touch her) for laughs at her expense. She was his colleague. They were…

They put him on because he's soft spoken and not combative. Like that's the only reason I can think of. But my, god you're right, he's terrible.      

That can happen to junior men, too. Its a bit of a hazing ritual. Problem is women are less likely to be promoted out of those spots because they’re expected to have kids and go be housewives within a pretty short period of time after they get hired. Now, women are rebelling in their own way, and the economy is such…

Lol. No i didnt, thats shitty and good on those women for walking out.

“I wasn’t involved in that.” - No you weren’t. But you can still tell us if you, personally think its racist.

I, no joke, almost didn’t recognize my Japanese office manager and almost missed a bus to my company’s picnic spot because she was wearing sneakers that day. She was so much shorter without her heels that I thought she was a completely different person.

Yay for Japanese puns! But yea, great use of the homonym. I used to work in Tokyo and the work place duel standards were highlighted in a freaking cell phone kiosk next to my school.

You know what? I think many of us would have been more forgiving if they didn’t actively cover up these crimes and protected the priests. This man is so fucking tone deaf. 

You know who thought it was her responsibility to protect kids from predators? Sister Cathy Cisnik. She may have been so close to whistle blowing the rampant abuse that was going on at her school, but she died before she could speak out. She may have lost her life trying to protect those girls, from a position of…
