As the avalanche of sexual harassment and assault accusations continues unabated, men who are almost certain that theyve never shown any woman their penis at work are wondering if theyve nonetheless crossed boundaries. Perhaps theyve made a comment or touched a woman inappropriately without realizing it?
An Associated Press piece from Monday, titled In Wake Of Weinstein, Men Wonder If Hugging Women Still OK, is a perfect example of the sudden confusion plaguing non-predatory men.

What happens if a woman compliments a man on his tie? Human Resources visit? Is the man to blame for wearing a provocative tie? /sarc.
Plenty of women teachers have crossed boundaries and touched boys’ penises. Tired of the one-sided talking point.
Unfortunately that is the engine driving this. All men are bad, all women are victims. It is the lib 's 2018 political campaign evolution based on the hildabeast losing to a very macho man.
DON’T. Somebody’s sister, aunt, daughter, girlfriend, fiancé, etc., etc,.
If someone (Male or female) inappropriately touches a person of opposite sex, and IS NOT CHALLENGED by the one being touched, there should be NO (”NONE”) accusations of inappropriate sexual contact some 30-40 years later. If you do NOT WANT to be touched, say so and in no uncertain times at the time of touching. Don’t hold onto your grievance for 30-40 years and then decide that you didn’t like being touched at the time.
Your comment reminds me of this joke....
A group of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, accompanied by two female teachers, went on a field trip to the local racetrack, (Churchill Downs) to learn about thoroughbred horses.
When it was time to take the children to the bathroom, it was decided that the girls would go with one teacher and the boys would go with the other. The teacher assigned to the boys was waiting outside the men’s room when one of the boys came out and told her that none of them could reach the urinals.
Having no choice, she went inside, helped the boys with their pants, and began hoisting the little boys up one by one, helping them to hold on to their ‘wee-wees’ to direct the flow away from their clothes.
As she lifted one, she couldn’t help but notice that he was unusually well endowed. Trying not to show that she was staring, the teacher said, ‘You must be Arnold in the 5th grade.’ ‘No, ma’am’, he replied. ‘I’m Robert in the seventh race, but I appreciate your help.’
Notice that she assumes, perhaps subconsciously, that the boss is a man. Hmmmm.
the first sentence exactly defines why Billy Jeff Clinton was wrong getting knob jobs from his own intern When sexual harassment came out, a boss having sex with an underling (pun attended) was assumed to be because of the leverage he had over the employee’s career. And other women could file complaints saying if he boffed her that gives her an advantage for special assignments, cigars, and promotions over me.

Editor’s note: This column is satire.
Weve learned so much about what women face in the last few weeks, and you liberal men should take this as an opportunity to change specifically, out of your flapping bathrobes and into some Dockers. Groping, flashing, molesting shrubs believe it or not, some women consider these things to be wrong. Crazy? Sure, but for now its no more monkey business as usual. As a noted Democrat, you need to maintain your political viability, and you can exploit the respect and concern for women youve always pretended to have to help you dodge responsibility for whatever youve already done!
Hey, nobody gets into liberal politics because they actually believe this stuff! Being a Democrat leader has always been a traditional path to making special new friends for guys who cant cut it on looks and personality. Face it no one ever said, You know whos hot? Al Franken. I bet he can bench his body weight. If Harvey Weinstein had managed a Safeway, Americas starlets and ferns would be substantially less traumatized.
Having needs is nothing to be ashamed of. Youve taken on an awesome responsibility being a Democrat leader youre constantly struggling to hold up the burden imposed upon you by the support and acclaim of the D.C. establishment and the media. You have a right to extracurricular activities; why, liberal women will tell you themselves that the mere fact that you are quite willing to kill babies by the millions entitles you to all sorts of fringe benefits!
But hey, there are a lot of uptight people out their whose bourgeois notions of right and wrong really dont account for the unique pressures and special requirements you face as a liberal icon lookin for some lovin. So, you need to take precautions to ensure that people dont get the right idea about what you are doing.
Wrong idea. I mean, wrong idea.
First, youll want to exclusively seek out liberal women. Dont make Bill Clintons mistake and target women who arent reliable progressives. Pinko gals generally know how to play ball and wont start some sort of fuss that will end up derailing your really important work towards the Democrat Partys ultimate goal of turning America into Venezuela II: The Starvening.
And be considerate! Dont just tell her, Youd better put some ice on that. Show her you care. Go and get her some ice yourself see, its the little things that make the difference between silent suffering and embarrassing revelations.
And while youth correlates with vulnerability, be sure to check their IDs. You dont want a Roy Moore problem though the fact you are a Democrat pretty much means youre probably not going to regardless. Of course, this advice doesnt apply if you are visiting, say, the Dominican Republic.
Now, its pretty clear that because you are a powerful liberal every woman wants you grabbing at her, but you cant indulge them all. Remember, there is always the danger that some ungrateful woman might raise a fuss no matter how much she asks for it by posing in a photo next to you, or by sleeping peacefully nearby.
Heres a helpful hint: Make sure your posse understands your firm No photos rule. And yes, it does apply when it comes to pics of your pride and joy. Its clear that many women are just begging you to text them shots of the Junior Senator even if they dont actually say it, or hint at it, or want it. Its harsh, but for the foreseeable future, you must deny the women of America these glorious snapshots of your majestic manly vistas. Be strong. No matter how they subtly signal you that they want some sexy snaps, whether by briefly speaking politely to you or by existing, you must say, No. But if you do say, Yes, try to take them from a flattering angle with some good lighting. If they end up out there in the web, youll want to look your best.
And there are more sacrifices youll need to make in this crazy environment. For example, do not invite female staffers to your office for a late night meeting and show up wearing only your underwear. Sure, comfort is important, and D.C. can get really humid, but they might get the wrong idea by your attempt to put them at ease. Also, they may be overcome by lust at your tighty-whiteyd rockin bod, and that can cause jealousy between them and the other members of your staff who are likewise filled with desire for you. Its a burden, but take the risk of chafing and wear pants for their sake.
Now, there may to be some ungrateful ladies who make some allegations about you for whatever reason, most likely their participation in the vast right wing conspiracy. This puts you in a tough place because you have to balance the liberal principle of believing the victim with the liberal principle of liberals not being held accountable for the terrible things they do.
Just take a deep breath its going to be okay, because youre a Democrat. The media and Hollywood are going nuts, but if youre a Democrat in Congress, youre good. Hell, Teddy Kennedy drowned a chick and they pretty much gave him a medal. You didnt drown a chick, did you? If you did, maybe you should talk to a lawyer about pleading self-defense.
Anyway, you will notice that one allegation inevitably leads to another, and then another. Turn this to your advantage by hinting that the sheer number of charges just means youre a total player! When responding to the charges, make sure your statement doesnt actually admit any wrongdoing. Instead, youll want to describe how you are friendly and a hugger, and how you are sorry these misguided women took offense by misinterpreting your innocent gestures of support for them in their struggle against patriarchy. Your message is that your accusers are all frosty nuts who cant deal with a real man, or even a liberal one.
Be sure to close out your non-apology apology by making sure your liberal pals know that youre still an asset. You saw how they tossed Slick Willy under the bus when he and Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit stopped being useful. Subtly imply that these fussy women should have shut their kissin holes and took one for the team by reiterating your support for icing babies, and then throw in a shot at the NRA for good measure.
Yeah, the last couple months have been stressful for liberal men in positions of power, but just remember these things blow over. Youre a Democrat. The rules were never meant to apply to you, and pretty soon your fellow liberals will come back to their senses. Until then, tie your bathrobe shut and keep your hands to yourself. Sure, youll have to temporarily deny the women of America the gift that is you, but its a sacrifice they should be honored to make.
How about not thinking of them as “underlings”?
Frankly I find that term mildly offensive if I can borrow a comment from the perpetually afflicted.
Calling your boss a cougar is probably sexual harassment.
Sadly, you are right.
I’ve never gotten my meat the same place where I got my bread. Just too much trouble; and if you think it’s a problem while it’s going on, wait till the inevitable breakup. I’ve seen it too many times with coworkers.
Well...would they be the underlings while the harassing boss would be the topling?
Some people just like it on top...
(ducks)
Jeff Foxworthy should do a, “If you _____________________ (insert offense), you might be a sexual abuser” series.
men who are almost certain that theyve never shown any woman their penis at work
= = =
The real problem is that these men took their penis to work (admittedly, in their pants), and did not leave it at home.
Probably, the very best rule at this point is pretty much do not do anything that could be remotely construed as anything. Basically, when at work, talk about work. Do not jest, do not engage in workplace conversations if not about work, and ideally keep a bubble around yourself and everyone else. Maybe better, do not talk, keep your head down, and just work. When asked about your seemingly antisocial behavior, reply “I keep my professional life and my personal life separate.”
I remember a big sexual harassment get together and a prominent Captain was speaking and gave us some good advice. He said “treat everyone like they’re your brother or your sister and everything will be just fine.” Later on tiis same Captain was “invited” to retire after he was found out shagging his executive secretary on a regular basis.
-Don’t touch women.
-Don’t compliment women’s looks.
But if you complement men (nice haircut, I like the new suit,...) or shake hands will male employees, that’s sexual discrimination since you are treating the men different. So
-Don’t touch ANYONE.
-Don’t compliment ANYONE’s looks.
Also, this article is about how to “not sexually harass”. It’s not how to avoid “being accused of sexual harassment” - the best way to do that is to have a single-gender work environment. I can’t wait for the lawsuits when a manager admits he tries to only hire men to avoid this problem and gets sued for discrimination.
