This was a young woman, not a preteen schoolgirl. This young woman chose to visit this man in his private chambers and accept his very obvious flirtations. Now, she’s showing us her ‘Shocked Face’ when the outcome is not what she expected.

I’ll see you that point and even raise the bet.
I’ve seen it happen lots of time, I’m willing to bet that she flirted, did things to call attention to herself physically, and got caught up in a whirlwind of a world with lots of possibilities and opportunities. These girls may be young, but they are NOT that innocent, and they are just as aware what they are doing with an octogenarian as the old man knows damned well that he should know better. But neither one stands down and stay in their place. But once things unravel, or ways are parted, her bragging starts to get shamed by friends and family who ask how she could ever have been in such a situation... when suddenly her story isn’t about how willingly she was enticing but instead to a sad story of victim-hood.
It’s not time, this day and age, to be a horny old man in a position of power. No matter what the circumstances, you simply CAN NOT give in do such desires. Whether it is fair or unfair, it’s the job of the male to be the better one.
If you are someone like Wilder, with a long reputation for
‘messing around’, the best thing is to not do it at work or with people you encounter at work. That’s easy for me to say, because, for some people, their work is also the way they socialize and meet people. For many it is the only way, unless they go to church, have hobbies or other duties.
I think the military calls it ‘Fraternizing’.
Used to be that you could lose rank for that.
It is one of the reasons I am fully against a military with large numbers of females deployed with large numbers of men, particularly to a combat area.
The sexual urge in people is so powerful that people ruin their honor, their finances, their families, their marriage, their country, and their lives.
Sure, people should KNOW better. And we aren’t animals, so being able to control ourselves is one of the things that differentiates us from animals.
But leftists want you to think men and women can shower in the same bathroom and pretend that there is not difference between the sexes.
And to do it in remote military areas where there is risk, loneliness, and everyone is in that 18-25 age range...it is insanity.
Senior enlisteds and officers playing around with younger ones of the opposite sex (or now, same sex) what could go wrong?
Insanity.
Mike Pence’s declaration that he doesn’t meet with young women alone is cagey, not a prudish flouting of his values.
He’s staking his claim to the high ground, and declaring to the vicious American Left and the media - if you want to smear me, forget about the #MeToo nonsense, and don’t even think of trying what you did on Kavanaugh.
