ORIGINAL: shiftyw OH FUCK. Maybe I want to be seen as more than a sex object by both Pence and Lauer. Maybe women want to be taken fucking seriously. WEIRD. I KNOW. This place is bleak as fuck. You've been decent ("sort of" in this discussion with me) so I will return the favor: My argument has nothing to do with Matt Lauer or Vice President Pence seeing you as a "sex object". My argument has to do with the ease with which lives and careers can be ruined, based upon "anonymous allegations" because of the climate in which we live. As I pointed out, men are damned if they do assault/harass/molest women (and rightly so), but they're also damned if they refuse to put themselves into a position where accusations can be launched. In the work place, if I said to you: "That dress looks great on you!" I'd be "guilty" of "harassment". If you said: "Those jeans are nice on you." I'd be laughed out of any room where I tried to 'report" that. Now, what's to stop you from getting fired (for cause and not by me) and telling a tale, years later about how I "harassed" you? If you and I had never been alone and I had never said that, you'd have a little egg on your face. But like I said, in today's climate, the professional victims want to have things both ways. I'm looking to hire four people, right now. IF I hire a woman, do you think with all that's going on, I'd EVER be alone in a room with her? Thanks, I'd rather take a sharp stick in the eye. I think that right now is the time for everyone to air out their dirty laundry. It's that point in the ceremony where the minister has said 'Speak now, or forever hold your piece'. At some point, rule of law will come into play again, and someone bringing up a new accusation from twenty years ago will have to deal with statute of limitations, even in the public eye. So all these people need to hurry up with their salacious memoirs. Because at some point, and I don't think it will be long, the public is just going to say enough. Some of us are pretty much there already. I know I'm reaching that point... I feel like we need some kind of score board to keep track of everyone that's accused and what they're accused of, exactly. Obviously, some sins are worse than others.
