He didn’t lose any cases. They settled them without a lawsuit to avoid the publicity of a trial. And if they were settled, why is he being punished for them now? Is Don Imus going to get fired again now for the nappy-headed ho comment? Should we fire Rush now for the “slut” comment? Since when is double jeopardy the law of the land?
There should be nothing illegal about someone in “authority” asking someone else out. The only illegality would come in if someone is fired for turning down the offer. And there is no sign at all that O’Reilly did that. The idea that he offered a job for sex to this other woman is entirely implausible. She isn’t saying he made that offer, she’s just conflating different parts of different conversations to build a flimsy case. And she isn’t even suing because she knows she has no case.
Are women strong and independent now, or are they shrinking violets and damsels in distress who don’t have the will to say no if they don’t want to do something? What do feminists want us to believe today?
Let me know when the left is going to police the sexual behavior of Hollywood actors and actresses. Gwyneth Paltrow attended an orgy recently, and things like this just get mentioned in passing in the occasional Vanity Fair article and no one cares. I refuse to be held to the same standards by leftists that they would never hold their own kind to.
Don't be ridiculous.
While I would be ok with keeping him at his job if he had been engaging in mutual voluntary affairs, he has to go. Even after being caught a few times abusing his boss privilege, he kept up this true real harassment.
You don’t treat your subordinates this way. You don’t trade sex for jobs. Bill Clinton did. But it is wrong.
Yes, subordinates are shrinking violets!!!! When anyone is placed in a position under the power of someone else, they are, if they want to keep their job, truly under that person’s thumb. Man or woman. It can be hard to stay at a job for a man if his female (or male) boss keeps trying to get him to have sex. When quitting is the only option, and you don’t want to quit, it is true harrassment and abuse of power.
It is important for employers and bosses to respect their employees. Forcing someone to have to quit to escape your sexual advance s is wrong.
This is not gently hitting on a coworker. This is changing your treatment of someone lower than you on the ladder depending on your sexual pleasure.
If it’s at work, dating should be done delicately. Yes, dating will happen. But if you aren’t on the same level, it is not a great idea. And if you still pursue it, you need to speak openly about the conflicts before much entanglement.
