Based on a few recent headlines...some boys have been misbehaving. A lot of them apparently. There are a plethora of accusations of sexual harassment, groping, masturbation, pussy grabbing, forced blow jobs, maybe some hand jobs, crotch rubbing, perhaps some...less then enthusiastic coitus, on the behalf of some reporters, big hair TV talking heads, a myriad of functionaries and lower level office staff, some actresses, and the list goes on and on.
As I usually tend to aggravate someone with what I write, I'll just go ahead and piss everyone off. :)
We need some clarification on what "charges" or accusations are being made. You know, definitions, some clarity on the vernacular, the verbiage, where the anally retentive pedantics can argue or posit their view of semantics, and if need be make less oblique or obfuscated colloquialisms, street slang, locker room or water cooler talk. Because after a time, (or perhaps all the time) the media tends to wrap up all the various accusations and applies to them a one-size-fits-all broad sweeping title of "sexual harassment".
In the short and long run, this does us no good. It doesn't help women, it doesn't help men, it doesn't assist the police, nor human resources, not the bosses, nor any people involved in a court battler or even arbitration. And on the note of women getting harassed, getting a large settlement, which is couple with a nondisclosure clause...as some have been yapping about it now a breaking those clause...bitch give the money back. You agreed to silence (whether that's good or bad or whether I agree or not) and you're now in breech of contract. Can't have it both ways. You chose to take cash rather than press charges and not tell tails of tally whackers pushed in or near your tales...so act like an adult and keep your end of the bargain.
What Bill Cosby is charged with is not the same as someone sending a racy text to a coworker. One is rape. The other is a juvenile form of "flirtation". Pussy Grabber In Chief, using his Daddy's money and his "clout" and fame to molest women at large is not the same as some Hollywood Exec whipping out his wanker and whacking it while some totally unsuspecting actress is caught between him and the door, and just hoping he's a fast comer and a short sperm shooter.
Rape is rape.
Public lewdness is public lewdness.
I recall some prosecutor a few years back using the term "Gross Sexual Imposition".
Was it the sex that was gross? Or the position of the "imposition"?
Fondling is assault.
Lasciviousness is not a crime per se.
Being of a lesser paragon of virtue is not a crime.
Being less than a "Pillar of the Community" is also not a crime, provided you keep your "Pillar" in your pants when in public.
Public masturbation or self fondling is frowned upon.
Having a degree of lassitude in your moral fiber or character...not a crime.
The answer is really fucking clear....do not touch anyone in the work place.
Period.
Ever.
Don't make double entendres, no dirty jokes, no obvious ogling or touching in anyway, anywhere, any shape or form, with the exception of a mutually reciprocal business like handshake. And even that should go because it spreads germs and is really sort of stupid if you think about it. The Japanese bow, some people curtsy, some simply nod at each other. The practice of gripping hands is not really something essential...and as we've seen from innumerable video examples, people like Trump simply can't grasp it. I mean he can not shake hands like a normal human being.
When these things happen, there are legitimate cases or circumstance that should be addressed properly through the courts. But what we have here is the "Court of Public Opinion" indicting or convicting everyone from Willy Wonker Whacker Weinstein, to apparently George Clooney and Matt Damon who may or may not have known something, and now a gaggle of gold digging actresses, some of whom went along with it, profited from it, played the game, made money, got roles, got paid...and now want smell headlines and maybe a payout. That degrades the women that truly were harassed, molested or raped.
And lets just point out one other fact...the hardcore political Christian right is always blathering on about the Godless Sodomites of Hollywood ascribing to them perversion filth and sexual lust. In this case that is true. What is also true is the aforementioned hardcore political Christian right, as in party carpetbagger Trump and apparently every single fucking guy working for Fox News are, or were doing the same. So its not about left/right or GOP/Dems, its about some emotionally and sexually underdeveloped "boys" abusing because of money, title, status and power.
Guys, just grow the hell up.
