The Harvey Weinstein Effect

[ghuns]

Didn't work as I have bigger and better[STRIKE] at home[/STRIKE].

I'd dispute "better".

Mainly cause I've seen your profile pic.

I have to wonder how this will play out on the other end. Having been involved in business and manufacturing for over 40 years I can say that I've observed a number of women use their sexual assets to gain promotion and business advantage. Will this now become a taboo as well?

I was told in a Navy sexual harassment meeting, if you appear to make some type of advantage (promotion, scheduling, posting) conditional (or appears conditional) on sex, it is sexual harassment.
If she (or now I guess she or he) offers sexual favors for preferential treatment, it is "sexual politics". Because it is not coming from a position of authority. Of course, there's that whole fraternizing and chain of command rules, but we're just talking sexual harassment/politics.

[actaeon277]

in an attack of fury, he said the terrifying words, “I will kill you, don’t think I can’t.”


To bad someone couldn't just shoot him for uttering that.

PBS seems to be having a run of this stuff. I'm sure tickle-me Elmo would have some stories...

Johnson posted this on Facebook before he killed himself on a bridge in Mt Washington.

This is intense.
Did he actually do the things he was accused of.
Accusations are flying everywhere. I want to see some charges filed. Put the accused and the accusers in the court room.

Female pharmaceutical reps will become a thing of the past. Doctors will have to find another pastime.

I have seen this angle get played my entire life.
Like racism this is a one sided coin. Woman will still use the same tools as always and men will succumb as always. It is the way of things.
Now the game is a much more dangerous one which will still have an attraction for the forbidden fruit.
