I hope, one day there will be an official termination of employment process set in place in your country, where every employer can fire any employee with cause solely based on anonymous allegations. No names, no specific allegations, no evidence, just rumors from a chat room. I hope you’ll be the first one to get…

Follow the convo and you’ll see that I made it perfectly clear, that any form of sexual harassment or assault based on someone’s appearance is a no go and can never be used as an excuse.

This clarifies nothing. Not that it needed any clarifying, bc she did nothing outrageously wrong.

Dude, another actual German person here. I know what I’m talking about. The last time Merkel was called out for wearing something provocative was at an opera event in Oslo in 2008, where she showed lots of cleavage, not just ‘some’. That article about her new haircut is 10 years old. What if her predecessor had shown…

There are written school dress codes for both boys and girls. These dress codes might be unreasonable, ridiculous and what not. By attending that school, you implicitly agree to adhere to this dress code. You vilate that dress code, you will be reprimanded. Those articles are testament to what I said. Mostly girls…

To my knowledge, these are anonymous allegations right at this point. This is not testimony, bc in order to even pass the lowest hurdle of any credibility a person would have to come forward and directly accuse any person of any wrongdoing. This hasn’t happened yet, but the consequences are that this guy has lost his…

1 Almost every single arctice about of huffpost link is about social media reacting negatively about schools enforcing dress codes on students.

No, it is not. It’s an acknowledgement of what I said. The only fashion designer of note who has called her out in recent years was Karl Lagerfeld, but he does that to many celebrities, male or female. It’s his shtick. This is, what Forbes Magazine wrote about her, which sums it up pretty nicely:

Why is that? I give you a hint, it’s called uniformity. The formal business attire for men looks almost always the same: A suit in various degrees of either black, blue or grey, matching ties, shirts and shoes. That’s why men can get away with this. Women could do the same if they only wanted to. Best example, Angela…

If you have a dress code, whether it’s in an office or at school and you violate it, the blame is on you, imo, since you knew the rules. In my line of work (IT tech), I can dress casually, but in my former job, it was strictly sleeved shirt, no jeans and no sneakers. If you sign on the dotted line, you agree to that…

What were you asking for?

OMG, there are maybe a gazillion cases of female students being reprimanded by schools for violating the dress code. All the students then hve to do is going on the internet crying about feeling slut shamed and ‘oppressed’ and every single time the internet pitchfork crowd turns against the school, even if the…

Let me summarize: allegations without evidence—>dismissed by Halpern bc of lack of evidence—>still no further evidence backing up the allegations but mounting pressure nonetheless—>termination of employment without even acknowledging her former remarks about the flimsiness of the allegations

You’re probably also baffled by the fact, that we have traffic laws, cuz if everybody would just drive carefully, we’d be ok, amirite?

Wrong, criticizing a woman for her appearance and being called a slut shamer is not a matter of ‘nuance’. There’s a certain subset on the internet, who will find fault with it, no matter how nuanced appropriate the critique. Let me give you a hint; if the critic has a penis, it’s always deemed inappropriate and slut…

There is a big difference though, if you criticize the woman at the business meeting for her inappropriate skin-tight tube dress, you will be called a ‘slut shamer’. I agree, that no woman (or man) should have to endure sexual harassment or any form of sexual assault and no woman is ‘asking for it’ by her choice of…
