Mom told me ‘if you act like a dance hall girl, he’ll treat you like a dance hall girl.’
Juries do what juries do and judges likewise....Attorneys matter as well as state laws vary.
good advice..
Oh a kindred spirit. I was young and attractive long time ago. At the elevator on business trips i would be asked you want to sleep with me or alone tonight. You learn how to handle it with a firm or witty response and yet not demasculating them.
When my boss early in my bus career became CEO of a fortune 500 company, I had dinner with him while in a business trip to CA. Then he wanted to go back to his apt to change his shirt. When he took off his shirt in front if me in the living room, I was grossed out and I ended the evening.
Actually the best advice I got was from men. They know how men think..which is seldom what women do.
That’s right!
I would have waited for him at the place you ate....and if not possible sat in the car.
May he die a long slow torturous
death. And maybe be treated in jail
the way he treated some of those women.
It was after we left restaurant. He would never have assaulted me. He knew it meant my early meeting next morning meant I had no interest. Had contact with him 15 years later he bought the company I worked for. Glad we parted on good terms.
I had to turn down a lucrative position with a great company the very day we signed the job agreement. While shaking hands welcoming me to the company he didn't let go saying that the job required certain perks (as he stoked my hand) that I needed to understand he expected.. At that I took my hand back thanking him for the opportunity to be considered for such a fine position but that I could not fulfill the requirements necessary as clearly indicated, grabbed my briefcase and headed to the door....at which he pulled a stack of papers from his desk waving them shouting....”Hey cookie there's plenty of women who will!”...as I went out the door. He was more than irritated.
Prior to this he never showed any interest or behavior to suspect anything so I didn't see this coming. But God is good and certainly let me know I needed to escape the situation...now.. yet retain my professionalism.
Fair to say I was a bit shaken by the time I reached my car.....and didn't waste any time leaving the lot. Never had a second thought of how I handled this.
(The job involved three days flying across the nation calling on clients and two days in house as their Representative. So it was a job I worked hard for several years to qualify for.)
Oh well then glad you parted on good terms.
You did well.
Yes when I met him 15 yrs later, he was on his 3rd or 4th wife and happily married. We talked about the good old days. See we were friends, but never friends with benefits. Lol
Considering he’s had 3 or 4 wives I have no doubt he would have certainly approached you had you given him any signal you were interested.....including currently.
When on liberty, in school, in crowded subways, married, and, once, while bass fishing, women attempted to sexually abuse me against my will... Of course, to avoid any undue arguments, I submitted myself to abject humiliation and said or implied "yes"...
I kept a list of names, but lost it... Think my wife burned it... However, here it is 60-years of marriage later and she still denies it...
No doubt the two actresses gave weinstein signals. You know the look, standing close, gently touching his arm. Telling him “you are so cute”. Yuk
Well, now Movie Producers HAVE to give them the part, no matter how bad they were in bed. Nice going Harvey!
will he negotiate for a potted plant in his jail cell?
