It is because Donald Trump was elected president, a shameless self-confessed and proud sexual predator, and he now sets the standards of behavior for our nation as our leader (shh, quiet about Bill). So while Trump is yet unreachable, the mob must keep finding high status substitutes (who are apparently all around us) so to keep the righteous rage burning.<br /><br />http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2017/11/the_post_weinstein_moment_has_shattered_all_my_illusions_about_the_working.html<br />---<br />I would like to believe that this is a watershed moment, that the downfall of so many powerful men will curb others, that we will have franker conversations about what needs to change.

At least everything she apparently talks about is in her own mind. She expresses no actual experiences so of course its fear all the way down. There's no answer until you experience something specific and consider your options.<br /><br />I never saw any sexual harassment in my office, and the closest I saw was a company wide meeting on sexual harassment maybe 8 years ago, after one anonymous woman complained about some off-color joke. The men largely sat through the lecture patiently, while it was the women engineers who felt compelled to speak up and ask what was the offending joke so we could assess (which was refused), and they firmly said they've never experienced anything but respect in our offices and they'd prefer if we could all just get back to work.<br /><br />I do recall one woman privately calling another woman a "fat cow". The first woman was pregnant and standing on a chair trying to adjust the ventilation on the ceiling, and the second (somewhat overweight) woman apparently felt afraid for the precarious decision. Maybe I should have spoke up against the name-calling, but I figured she was just harmlessly venting.Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-16136193713017299162017-12-02T10:59:03.630-08:002017-12-02T10:59:03.630-08:00Feminists LIED to her?
