Ladies.. here is why 99% of Guys don't approach you..
So if they were just jerks she'd still be dating them then?
I can't help but think that in today's atmosphere this problem will only get worse as now men are afraid they'll be called sexual harassers if they so much as ask a co-worker out on a date.
Female friend once complained to me that all the guys she dates turn out to be insecure jerks. I asked her what is it about insecure jerks she finds attractive? She immediately got sensitive and said she likes men who know what they want and take control of a situation. I said, the most insecure people are the ones who try to control everything around them. Secure people, by and large, don't care and seem aloof. They lead, they don't dominate.
I was walled into the friend zone by that point so, meh. Whatevs.
Bill Burr Got In Trouble For Making Fun Of The Military
He got cut off. Sounded like he was about to -- this military "defender" was okay with me making a joke about women being responsible for sexual harassment, but then gets out of his chair for the military joke.
I would love to have heard that rant. If that is what he was about to say.
Full Frontal - Forced Arbitration as Part of Labor Contracts
I'm totally for this, not just in employment contracts but in any kind of contracts really, forced arbitration as a concept needs to die in a fire.
But it needs to cover everything, not just sexual harassment, if we try to do this piecemeal the corporations will force us to fight for everything individually and we will waste a lot of time and money doing it.
A handy guide to what actually constitutes sexual harassment
Where's Sexual Harassment Panda?
Australian Men Are All Considered Pedophiles
Yeah, along with stories about:
- how climate change is a hoax
- why sexual harassment laws mean the end of romance
- how immigrants are stealing your job
- how immigrants are lazy bastards who don't work and take the dole (I presume these are Schrodinger's immigrants?)
- how the youth of today just need a good war to sort them out
First Today Tonight, now the Daily Mail?
Fucking hell, the standards for journalism are falling through the floor.
The UK's DailyMail posts a story of a female teacher molesting a student almost everyday.

Sure, but why does he then spend the rest of the argument talking about how one isn't as bad as the other?
It just feels like making excuses.
Yeah, we get it. Rape > groping > other dumb shit.
Mike Pence is not as bad as ISIS. There, I said it. Congratulations on passing the lowest bar possible. I still don't want him as president.
Even if Minnie Driver makes a stupid comment, she's not a spokesperson for everyone who supports #metoo.
The fundamental point to me is that senator's quote.
"I think when we start having to talk about the differences between sexual assault and sexual harassment and unwanted groping you are having the wrong conversation.... You need to draw a line in the sand and say none of it is O.K. None of it is acceptable"
So Bill wants to have "an additional conversation". Ok, WHY? What is driving this additional conversation? Why do we need to have it and is it distracting from the more important conversation we should be having?
I'm not worried about the distinction between the varying levels of assault, except as a means for deciding how to deal with the perpetrator.
But that's not the conversation that's happening at the moment. If Aziz Ansari ends up sharing a cell with Harvey Weinstein, I will 100% stand up and say "hang the fuck on, those two are NOT equivalent". But in terms of saying "stop being a dick", yeah, I'm happy to say that to both of them.
I know that you and @newtboy and @Payback understand that groping and harassment (even if they are not as heinous as rape) are things you shouldn't do. That's 'cos you're decent human beings.
But you guys are not the people we need to talk to.
@ChaosEngine @Payback, @newtboy
Don't have time for a lengthy comment, but Chaos, he makes a point of overstating that BOTH --- ARE UN-acceptable.
Payback & Newt, I agree
New Rule: Distinction Deniers
Being held accountable for what we do is a good thing, but ignoring degrees and distinctions can turn it bad.
Weinstein out of a position of power, out of a job, and quite possibly into jail: good. Deserved, and sends an important message to those that might want to abuse their power in similar ways in the future. Precedent set -- however things worked before, we won't stand for that shit anymore.
Louis CK out of favor, and on record for doing creepy things which reduces opportunity to continue doing said creepy things. Also removed from positions where he could exert pressure to "consent" to said creepery where consent likely wouldn't be granted if the threat of job repercussions wasn't implied or patently stated. Again, good outcome -- in my opinion including the fact that he likely won't face criminal charges while Weinstein may.
Franken, on the other hand, was held accountable for actions in a way that I found troublesome for two reasons:
1) He was under scrutiny for past actions, yet placed under the judgement of current (bleeding edge current, even) behavioral standards. That is trending towards ex-post-facto law. I can't pass a law in December making it illegal to wear white shirts, then throw you in jail for having worn a white shirt in November before the law was in effect.
It isn't the same thing because sexual harassment has been illegal all along, and because he wasn't really facing legal trouble, just professional / political trouble -- where "ex-post-facto" judgments aren't prohibited. Still, it seems like when standards change we should try to limit judgement under current standards to current behavior. There's a reason why it works that way in law.
2) Furthermore, a lot of the scrutiny Franken was under completely stripped the behavior from context. Context is extremely important. That's why Weinstein "asking" women to "consent" to his rapey behavior wasn't OK, even though asking for consent is sort of the baseline "good"/expected behavior -- they weren't actually completely free to tell him to shove it.
Ignoring the context of Franken's behavior means that it is immaterial that he was working for the USO at the time, where on-stage suggestive stuff and raunchiness was/is pretty much the whole idea. Immaterial that on-stage "groping and kissing" stuff may well have been scripted as such, and basically consented to by the actors -- part of the show.
Combine that with ignoring degrees of offense, and we're listing Franken's name in the same sentence with Louis CK and Harvey Weinstein, which is ridiculous. Franken "had to" be a sacrificial lamb to demonstrate that Democrats are willing to walk the walk as well as talk the talk on this issue -- but did he really?
If more Democrats were willing to "tell it like it is", as I'd argue Maher is doing here, Franken could have said that the photo where he mimed groping a sleeping Karri Turner was a mistake, a joke in poor taste done in the context of an entire tour that seems in poor taste by modern standards, and that could have been the end of it. He could still be in office, and the Democrat party at large would have been better off, as would the net balance in Congress with regards to women's issues.
But nope. Context, distinction, and degrees are all meaningless, so Franken's name is in that same list of dirty sleazeball asshole men, no asterisks or footnotes necessary. I don't think the outcome of that game goes in a favorable direction.
{snip}
Nobody here is trying to argue that the Harvey Weinsteins' or the Al Frankens' of the world should not be held to account. Only that the punishment should reflect the severity of their actions, and not just how their actions make you feel.

Keanu Reeves Tactical 3 gun shooting
Yeah, I've got to agree, that cannot be a coincidence. It is creepy on the same level as a hooters or any other business that hires exclusively hot women to do a job that should have nothing to do with looks.
It's not so much that I worry about the average female gun enthusiast going without work, but that it's hard to imagine that sort of workplace culture isn't rife with sexual harassment. Any time a woman looking sexy is a job requirement, it's a fair bet that her boss wants more than to look at her.
All the super attractive women creeped me out. Too many of them. Keanu doesn't know any normal looking women? Creep. Pee. (I'm a cis woman, by the way, for those who don't know.)

Matt Lauer Sexual Harassment; Trump's Unhinged Tweets
Although the oozing fetid abscess that is institutionalized sexual harassment has needed a good draining for a long, long time, anyone else suspect once they wash this all away with Righteous Indignation (tm) and slap a rainbow bandaid on it, it will just start to fill up again?
NY Times and 5 women call out Louis CK for harrassment
Why men use masturbation to harass women
http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/09/health/masturbation-sexual-harassment/index.html
Can anyone even begin to explain this thing of masturbating in front of someone who doesn't want anything to do with you? I don't understand at all, and this is maybe the third case in recent weeks. Is it like visual rape...just about power? Whaaaa?
Hollow Hollywood
For over the last year, every gathering of the right has defended Trump's bragging about being an archetypal sexual harasser.......
....suddenly, now that a 'liberal' is accused of the same abuse, they become morally indignant.
@bobknight33, A few weeks in, and Weinstein is completely removed from Hollywood, his company, and soon his money and freedom, not ignored and protected by liberal elites. Trump, shielded by idealogs, and still threatening to use the full power of the presidency to destroy anyone who plays the tape of Trump himself bragging about his abuses....yet somehow some brain dead slug gets that 100% backwards and you grab on with both hands. So much fail.
I do agree, the assaults by both abusers were shamefully and willfully ignored completely until that became impossible, but only one is still being ignored and excused today.
Samantha Bee - A Penis PSA
I get what you're saying, it's just....
you know, men's precious egos taking a hit is worth having less sexually harassed women. The idea that all these women secretly want some douchebag's penis is way too popular among douchebags to let it stay alive. It's needs to be killed. With fire.
Take one for Team Humanity, dude.
I think the parts after :45 lost the message....at least I hope so.
Would this kind of body shaming be acceptable for a man to do to women? Not to me.
If the answer to that question is no, Samantha, please don't do it to men. It makes you much harder to watch......
....or is this like Eminem who also said he doesn't want any of those ugly dicks in his audience?
