Sexual harrassment

Jump to new
I remember a time, when I was responsible for anything that didn't involve a trade, so I was sent on training courses. lol
Locks, safes, cypher locks, blueprint machines, IBM selectric typewriters etc. Anything that no one wanted a part of.
Anyway I was returning a typewriter after fixing it, it was heavy so it took too hands to carry it.
The Lady I returned it to chose that point in time, to weigh my goolies, should I report it or just remember the warm glowing feeling I felt. lol

76 year old Graeme Langlands, in a nursing home and suffering from dementia, is charged with child sexual abuse.

Persecution ?

Even if he did it he is unlikely to be able to properly defend himself.

It's going too far I reckon.

Seriously ? Do you (or anyone) have any idea of the possible charge against Graeme Langlands ? Would you accept a similar defence for the hundreds of other people who have been charged with historical child sex offences?

Given he is suffering from dementia he won't go to jail if convicted. However there will have been a sense of justice for the child he (may have) abused.

Yes seriously. It's a question of his capacity to defend himself. People who are still of sound mind and able to respond are a different matter.
 
Una Thurman has opened commentry on sexual misconduct. However unlike most other women she has chosen to wait until she has all the ducks lined up before she opens her mouth.

From the tone of her comments this won't be a warning and a spray. Whoever she names will be defending themselves in a court.

Kill Bill star Uma Thurman has delivered a powerful Thanksgiving message revealing she too has been the victim of sexual misconduct.

In a message to her half a million Instagram followers, the award-winning actor said disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and his conspirators "don't deserve a bullet".

While the Golden Globe winner and former model didn't name the alleged perpetrator or perpetrators in her post, she hinted the full story will come to light in due course.

"I am grateful today, to be alive, for all those I love, and for all those who have the courage to stand up for others," she wrote. "I said I was angry recently, and I have a few reasons. #Metoo, in case you couldn't tell from the look on my face.

"I feel it's important to take your time, be fair, be exact... so happy Thanksgiving everyone! (Except you, Harvey, and all your wicked conspirators. I'm glad it's going slowly. You don't deserve a bullet.) Stay tuned."
 
This fellow reckons rape culture is fake and encourages older men to put their dicks into 13 yearold boys. He used to be top editor at Breitbart News, which speaks heaps.

Outspoken conservative commentator Milo Yiannopoulos has accused the Australian media of being “chicken ****” cowards, claiming two television networks pulled out of planned interviews because their hosts were scared to debate him.

Yiannopoulos launched his attack on the eve of a national speaking tour that will include a talk at Parliament House. Hundreds are expected at protests in Sydney and Melbourne.

Security is tight for the former Breitbart senior editor after an appearance at the University of California’s Berkeley campus this year sparked violent protests, with anti-fascists smashing windows and starting fires.

Yiannopoulos, who will arrive in Australia tomorrow, said the country was on “the frontline in the war for Western civilisation” but had been let down by media organisations censoring right-wing views.

“Waleed Aly won’t have me on his TV show because he’s too scared,” he said. “These are some of the highest-paid, highest-profile, bravest supposedly journalists in the Australian media establishment ... the Australian media who are chicken **** and say they will have me on (then) they realise I’m not an idiot and won’t have me on in the studio.

“I have more respect for the people out in the street protesting, making their voices heard.”

Yiannopoulos said satellite interviews with Aly on Network Ten’s The Project and Karl Stefanovic on Nine’s Today had been cancelled at late notice.

A Nine spokeswoman said morning television director Mark Calvert had made the decision not to interview Yiannopoulos, declining to give reasons.

A Ten spokesman said an interview was never confirmed or booked.

Yiannopoulos did an interview on that network’s Studio 10 show last month, which he said “demonstrated convincingly that I’m a force to be reckoned with”.

“They are now all too terrified to have me on TV because they know they’ll lose,” he said.

Anti-fascist campaigners who brand Yiannopoulos a neo-Nazi and far-right leader — labels he rejects — say they expect hundreds of protesters outside his talks in Sydney and Melbourne, although the venues will be disclosed to ticketholders only a day before the event.

Liberal Democratic senator David Leyonhjelm has invited him to speak at a Q & A event at Parliament House, prompting an angry response from Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young and colleague Janet Rice.

“I question how this man has secured a visa to Australia, let alone access to Parliament House,” Senator Hanson-Young said.

“A man who travels the world spreading racist and sexist drivel, who believes there is no such thing as rape culture is not welcome in our safe and respectful house of democracy.”

The MeToo story where (mostly) women accuse people of harrassment and assaults is shaking Sweden.

Why is the #MeToo movement sending shockwaves through Sweden?

In Sweden, a country viewed as a beacon of gender equality and progressive politics, the 'Weinstein effect' has started a revolution.

It began with October's #MeToo campaign, a spontaneous global outpouring of women calling out their own experiences of sexual harassment and abuse after the predations of Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein finally became known.

But in Sweden, it has snowballed into a social phenomenon that a prominent journalist from the newspaper Dagens Nyheter has described as the biggest Swedish women's movement since women secured the right to vote almost a hundred years ago.

The country has been rocked by a flood of stories of assault and harassment from women across the arts, law, media, sports and politics. Some have even named their perpetrators in social media posts - unusual in a country where it is considered journalistically unethical to publish the names of accused in criminal cases unless they are convicted.

Details of assault allegations have dominated the popular press for weeks. Several media personalities have been stood down from their jobs as evidence has emerged of their past assaults, including politicians, a high profile newspaper columnist and TV presenters.

The country's Queen Silvia and Crown Princess Victoria lent their support over the weekend, calling the movement inspired by #MeToo "an extremely important campaign”.

Thank goodness we can now rely not only on best buddies for friendship, but sexual gratification too!
 
So now Matt Lauer of NBC is on the chopping block. While there are some concerning allegations, I couldn't help but notice this quote from the article I was reading:

“For Lauer, work and sex were intertwined,” the Variety report alleges. The anchor was “fixated on women, especially their bodies and looks”.

Really? You don't say. Heterosexual men fixated on women, especially their body and looks? Surely not. :rolleyes:

Millions of years of evolution and a drive to reproduce and perpetuate the species has brought us to this point. Why are people surprised (or outraged) that men are fixated on women? We always have been and always will be, until asexual reproduction becomes a thing.

Every man who hits on a woman is not an abuser. Sometimes, as a man, you make a bad call and your advances are not reciprocated. This is often due to mixed messages or misinterpreting body language. This can happen regularly if you are a bit of a Lothario. It still doesn't make you an abuser, just a horny guy.

Men are supposed to make the first move. Don't sic the feminist lynch mob on us when we get it wrong.
