Is There Any Protection for Men Who Are Falsely Accused of Sexual Harassment?

Posted on 11/28/2017 7:29:06 AM PST by pinochet

A Teen Vogue Columnist, Emily Lindin, said that it is justified for innocent men to loose their jobs from false accusations of sexual harassment, so long as it helps in "undoing the patriarchy".

Resentful former girlfriends have been given unlimited license to destroy the reputation and careers of their former lovers.

We all know from experience that men and women tell lies at similar rates. Why should we believe the women, and not the men?

It is time that American men started to stand up for themselves. If men in the Western world cannot stand up for themselves, then they cannot stand up for the West. Wise women of the west know that if men of the West cannot stand up for themselves, the women of the West will become the property of Muslim men.

It is an always useful guide to take an argument and set it into a different context and see what the reaction is. Reset for the Democrat-dominated South and a few blacks to be lynched? Play it with other history and imagine the results!

No. Even when proven innocent, the guilty allegation will remain dominant in many sheeple’s minds.

The Roy Moores of the world can totally debunk all the allegations against them. Masses will still think them guilty.

Sometimes “freedom of the press” and it’s trying every case in the public without the controlled process of a courtroom trial, is a quite socially harmful use of our freedoms. Yet, I remain fearful of throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

What would be great would be for the “press” to morally reform itself, to choose not to try in the public realm alone what deserves to be tried in a courtroom. Should they be unable to do that, then at least to choose to not telescope one side of something (particularly when a mere statement is not PROOF), and to seek on their own to do what a court process would do, completely, before printing mere allegations minus all possible counter arguments against them.

I still believe the accuser and the accused should be treated equally.

They cannot be.

1) For logical reasons: the accused cannot prove a negative.

2) For practical reasons: The accuser always has the initiative.

Therefore, the accuser must bear the burden of proof, and must be viewed with greater skepticism than the accused.

When Herman Cain was running for president it came out that one of the woman accusing him of sexual harassment had gone from job to job making sexual harassment claims at each one. She basically made a career out of sexual harassment claims.

Another way to look at it is the Mike Pence approach. Never be in a potentially compromising position. What was acceptable work place behavior or banter is no go today. Maybe this is the start of a moral behavior reawakening?

I hope the first two men sued the crap out of the business.

Women have a weapon men don’t - the tear factory. Any time they are lying, they just resort to tears and men will melt while women believe her.

The second weapon is that they are more convincing liars than men are. Through centuries of being physically weaker, women have learned how to use deception and misrepresentation to get their way when men didn’t need to so because they could rely on bullying.

Men really just have one counterweapon - MGTOW. Oh, and another - they still earn more money on average.

Those were the days. When people could have fun at work and the women didn’t have HR on speed dial.

In one manager’s meeting, there were three women out at the same time, all because they were late in their pregnancy. When someone mentioned that all three were not there because they were on pregnancy leave, someone said, “It must be something in the air.” To which another guy said, “Yeah. Their legs.”

It really was hilarious, and nobody got spanked by HR. It was a simpler time...

Often times the issue takes place in private. Once the door is closed, all bets are off.

So, never close the door.
If you are disciplining someone, always have a third party or make a recording of the session (with everyone’s approval.)
If you are traveling, never, ever have someone stop by your room. In fact, never reveal which room you are staying in.
If you are traveling with a member of the opposite sex, never ever consume alcohol.

I’ve worked in an environment of 90-95% Female to male employees. I learned some harsh lessons over the last 30 years. I’ve been accused of bad behavior that did not happen—but the appearance of impropriety is just as bad as the actual act.

I used to tell my wife I would be riddled with disease and exhausted if I had half the sex on the road that I was rumoured to have. (Always call home with your hotel room phone...so you have a record of being in your room speaking to your wife.)

What a sad commentary on life these days.

With Hastert the molestations might never have surfaced without the money laundering. I grew up in Hastert’s district and wouldn’t have believed that about him as well.

“The pendulum of history swings back and forth. Witch trials and all.”

It was abut 30 years ago when people were being prosecuted for supposedly orchestrating Satanic rituals in preschools and prosecutors were using magical ‘recovered memories’ as spectral evidence against innocent people.

For all our progress we really haven’t progressed all that far.

I hate to say it, and I have no way of qualifying it however I can tell a creep from a mile away. I could look at Hastert and tell.

BTW: I work downtown right across Dirksen Federal Plaza from the Federal Courthouse where Hastert was arraigned and convicted.

He walked into court under his own power every time he had to show up --- except for his sentencing date when he showed up in a wheelchair, slouched over and looked like an utterly pathetic pouting old man.

I was screaming at him from across the street that he was a pedophile pervert and we knew it since 1994. Lost my voice that day, almost got arrested too. Would've been worth it.

Takes money and a good lawyer or someone like the House to pay your allegedly victim money to STFU!

Moore’s problem now is that what _was_ acceptable, in that area, 40 years ago is now construed as deplorable. Still unclear whether he did such, but if so then it’s the problem that some norms don’t age well.

A lot of people make their careers out of sexual harassment claims: lawyers, administrators, ‘equal employment opportunity officers’, reporters, activists, etc.
