Men, It’s Your Obligation to Speak Up About Sexual Harassment
The Daily Signal ^ | 10/30/2017 | Mary Vought

Posted on 10/30/2017 2:03:06 PM PDT by milton23

A key piece is missing from the national discussion about sexual harassment.

The media’s spotlight on this terrible epidemic is welcome news for females everywhere, as the culture of silence has finally been dealt a severe blow. But, what about the men?

I’m not referring to the lowlifes that victimize women—men that view us as objects to be groped, manhandled, or as the punch line in a dirty joke.

I’m talking about the men who have witnessed this harassment or know it’s happened, but cowardly choose to stay silent.

It is time we talk about false allegations of sexual harassment against men and the fact these women hardly get any punishment for ruining mes’ reputations. The law enforcement community knows over 40% of sexual harassment/rape claims are false. Yet where are the punishments for the women that frame innocent men and exploit the cops and justice system?

Oh you didn’t want to hear that...?

I was sexually harassed by a female co-worker, who i asked seversl times to stop. She was big cow but what made it worse was the male co-workers constantly giving me shit about it (they had witnessed it). That’s when I finally reported it to my boss.

Here’s how I did it once a upon a time. Had a kid working at a company who was 20 something and always hitting on a couple of high school girls who were part time in the afternoons. Didn’t work for my department so complained from time to time. After realizing it was to no avail, I had some bumper stickers made and had one discreetly applied to his vehicle.

It read, “My girlfriend is an honor student at (name changed here) Elementary School. The idiot didn’t know it was there for two weeks and only discovered it after he noticed people were constantly honking horns and pointing at him.

Sometimes there are things going on around me that are just none of my business. I have a right to choose to not get involved.

How is it that all these tough, capable, independent women are now demanding that men stand up and act as their champions and defenders of their honor? If they’re so rough-and-ready, let them defend themselves.

How many women could have been spared Weinstein’s misconduct had men with this knowledge simply done the right thing and called him out early on?

How many victims could have been spared if the first victim(s) had gone to the police, or at least gone public?
What should men have done?
-Gone to the police when the victim didn't?
-Make it public when the victim didn't want that?
-Possibly ruin or damage the women's careers by doing something the women didn't want?
-Punch him in the face?

Should men assume that women are too weak to protect or speak for themselves and need our help? When coworkers (men or women) have come to me, I've talked to the person they complained about and even gone to HR. But if someone's not saying they are offended, I'm not going to tell them they should be. I expect women to be as strong and independent as men I work with. I've only worked in a few "environments" and I'm sure there are others where things are different. But I'd bet Mary Vought also only works in environments where women are (or should be) "equal to men".

They’re just mad that the democrat rape culture has been exposed. So now they’re doubling down on all men.

The victims need to speak up about it.

And if a so-called “victim” isn’t bothered enough by the event to complain about it, then it doesn’t qualify as a problem, as far as I am concerned.

That and men....fathers should be teaching their daughters how to ‘extricate’ themselves with, extreme prejudice if necessary, from the advances of these dirtbags.

OK, I'll speak out about it.

According to their definition, women who make disparaging remarks about men at work are guilty of sexual harassment.

Women and girls who hit men first are guilty of assault.

Women and girls who attack men and boys and in the process kick them in the sex organs are guilty of sexual assault.

Now if men would only do something other than take it and force their sons to take it, these crimes may actually be dealt with as the crimes they are.

Just an observation...

All the men being accused, Kevin Spacy, Harvey Winestien, Bill Clinton, etc, are all libs.

You know, the enlightened, pro women’s rights elites.
