>>So, that’s what those knitted pink caps represented, Pig heads?
Apropos!<<

That is what they looked like to me!

Men sexually harass women because they are not sexist


...Many women legitimately complain that they have been subjected to abusive, intimidating, and degrading treatment by their male coworkers. Browne points out that long before women entered the labor force, men subjected each other to such abusive, intimidating, and degrading treatment.

Abuse, intimidation, and degradation are all part of men's repertoire of tactics employed in competitive situations. In other words, men are not treating women differently from men—the definition of discrimination, under which sexual harassment legally falls—but the opposite: Men harass women precisely because they are not discriminating between men and women.

I think when you are on the same level it’s ok. But yeah, the breakup...

There’s an old colloquial “rule” that I’ve lived by, that has served me well: “Never get your honey from the place you make your money.” Don’t know if it’s common across the country or not.

A sixteen year old is not a “woman”.

I met my husband at work. We’ve been married for 33 years.

No. I left that job for a better one. He stayed for 4-5 years and then also moved on. No one cared about that sort of thing back then. It’s quite different today.

I think it is VERY smart for established people who are in a position of success or authority to NOT mess with company employees. Equally smart is to avoid sleeping with your boss.

However, in underlevel positions, among equal single people (often young, often in situations where they could easily find another low level job elsewhere), interdating is how things work. As well as indirect clients and vendors and associates. I had a boyfriend I met at work in a university hospital laboratory, for three years, and most of the time we worked in neighboring labs. It was actually a lot of fun. And when it ended, we didn’t work there any more anyway.

As I have pointed out before, one of the huge problems in today's culture is that the 14-year-olds look 25 and the 25-year-olds act 14. :)

So now Jessica the snowflake wants to ban men flirting with women or asking them for a date.

These feminist wacko’s have poisoned sexual relationships to where you can’t glance at a woman, smile at a woman, or compliment a woman. Then they bitch that men should “man up.”

I have rarely encountered women who could not make their feelings known in a way that cuts a man to shreds if he steps out of line. This treating women like they are powerless little puppies has to stop.

Not to mention the mothers of these poor girls.

When a middle-aged male customer made vulgar comments to my daughter while she worked at a store, malls security didn’t do much. But her brother and his friends deployed. They sat outside her store until the mall closed and walked her to her car. They are all big boys and were a little disappointed that they didn’t have to do more than that. I was proud of them.
