Only dated a co-worker once.
Best woman I have ever known.
I suspect you also didn’t dress provocatively to send mixed messages to your coworkers.
#MeToo was and still is a complete fraud. Liberalism destroyed women. They even destroy hashtags.
There is one group of women that suffers, and people don’t seem to be concerned about. A lot of women want to get laid and now the guy should assume he is going to get in trouble. At any moment a women he has had an affair with can flip out and claim sexual harassment or rape.
Was it...if you want a be happy for the rest of your life..remember a beauty brings lots of strife?
22 years ago I found that amateur bicycle racing was the workplace. I was just a midpack at best masters category (40+) racer. I rode some miles with an official during post season 1997. These were social rides, lunch at the end that’s it. She filed a sexual harassment complaint against me at USA Cycling, called my real employer at my real job, and spread the rumors that I was a white supremacist and a child molester - after one cycling coach got sent to prison for molesting a junior rider, so the hysteria was still there.
I quit bicycling. All I do now is work. I have also kept all women out of my life since. Simply out of self preservation.
All this me too crap will not end well. Wait for Sharia Law comes into effect. Polygamy—will be legal. Will wife beatings be far behind?
It amazes me how women think they can dress for a night club atmosphere and then complain that men are ogling them. HR needs to corral all the women young and old and give them rules for dressing: no cleavage or hint of the same, no skirts above the knees, no painted on pants. Naturally, men will feel sad but better that than some tart claiming someone made them feel “uncomfortable”.
Twenty years ago I was in the Marine Corps and we were gradually getting a few women in my squadron. Most were OK to be around until they screwed something up and they were in line for some kind of discipline. As soon as that happened they would inevitably pull out their ace in the hole, which was the “sexual harassment” claim. Once that card way played everything ground to a halt and the witch hunts began, the tailhook scandal was the most extreme example of that. I quickly learned that nothing good can come from anything more than minimal interaction with women you work with. Today in the corporate world that thought is still in my mind all the time. I interact with women I work with to the degree necessary to do my job, nothing more. If you’re around when something that could negatively affect them happens and they can get out of it by throwing the sexual harassment card 99% of them will do it. You don’t want to be the one that happens to be standing there as a convenient target. It’s a shame but that’s the way it is, nothing good can come of getting too close to female colleagues.
At the same time?
Just avoid women period! If you’re not married to them then avoid them like the plague they can be.
Nothing but tragedy, sorrow, and devastation are the alternatives.
Lol. I wish.
Me too.
No commute, no parking, no work clothes, no HR, no office politics, no a-holes.
They say that it excludes women from settings (i.e., drinks after work, lunches, etc.) where deals or promotions often take place.
Fortunately, I found a better position within five months which not only pays better but has an "old school" HR manager who focuses on what is actually important than SJW crap like this.
It has nothing to do with fear and everything to do with common sense. I have seen any number of careers ruined because of an accusation of sexual impropriety. Some were true and some were doubtful and some were flat out false. It did not matter. It is a stain that never quite washes off.
Now days I am reluctant to be alone in a room with only one other person unless they are a relative. Always have a witness.
Maybe, I suspect plenty of promotions and deals are made at getherings where the women dont invite any men.
I would too. But feminism's basic tenet is that they get all the rights without all the responsibilities.
But then I'm sure you already knew that. :)
I was about to post the very same thing.
The “B”-side of Tommy James and the Shondells 45RPM 1966 hit ‘Hanky Panky’
was “Made Your Bed Now You Have To Lie In It”
How is that for worthless trivia? :)
