I definitely smell what you’re stepping in Foxtrot. Before we know it, single dudes are gonna have to wear body cameras on dates like police officers have to.
[MOD: Video removed. Not appropriate for this site.]
+1 foxtrot! I'm going to have to make sure my boys get written consent before they have their first kiss, or it could come back to bite them in the ass. Come to think of it, I've never kissed a woman with anything other than "passive" consent, guess I should be worrying about allegations.
and what bothers me most about most of these "allegations" is that they all happened YEARS ago. OK, if it bothered you so dang much why wait YEARS to mention it. And now to expect an investigation. Really, investigate what? Look for finger prints? Look for DNA? what? It's a he said she said and who is going to believe who.
You lived with it this long, then really there's nothing to gain by living with it to your grave, other than to smear someone's name for political reasons. Not really worth it, IMO>
"Sexually Assaulted Sleeping Woman" mmmmmmmmmm so they're supposed to be awake ? What a novel idea [Sarcasm2]
This is just going too crazy.
If status of limitation has passed, I believe victims should have full rights to tar & feather them in public.

It is satisfying watching the Dems eat their own,... Al Franken!!! I think Bill & Hillary might be on the menu.
Sit back and enjoy.
Al Franken's a sorry excuse for a human being. He always has been.
What pisses me off further is the fact that Mitch McConnell has already said he's gonna have Roy Moore thrown out of the senate if he's elected in Alabama. But he fiddle dicks around the Franken thing, which Franken has admitted to doing, and said they need to have a fucking ethics investigation. BFD, Mitch. Meanwhile, that'll drag on for a year while you continue to give every democrat that comes along a hand job and get nothing done in the senate.
McConnell, Flake, McCain, Murkowski...look no further than that for what's wrong in government. No need to list the democrats...everyone knows they suck.

Accused Of Sexual Misconduct, Franken Has Focused On The Issue As A Senator
Oh, the irony.Quote:
Sen. Al Franken (D-MN), accused on Thursday of forcibly kissing and groping a woman on a USO tour in 2006 before he was in office, has made the prevention of sexual assault and violence against women one of his signature issues as a lawmaker.
A long, long time ago, there were a couple of married gals that grabbed my junk and said "gimme some o' that!" - no wonder I'm so scarred.....
My prediction is that with so many of these allegations, some more bad people will be brought to light, and if there are enough true assaults, someone is bound to commit suicide. Then Filter's "Hey Man, Nice Shot" will have a resurgence in popularity. I think that Harvey Weinstien will probably be the worst and I don't have my money on him for killing himself.

You can't post the truth here. It is banned.
If ( key word IF) that 1 picture was the only time Stuart Smalley actually did what he was pictured doing. Would Newsweek have run this puff piece so soon?

LOUISVILLE — Dan Johnson posted a final message to his friends and family Wednesday afternoon on Facebook. It appeared to be a goodbye.
In it, Johnson denied the accusations that had tormented him and his family for the past 48 hours — that he, a Kentucky state representative and the self-proclaimed “Pope” of his Louisville church, had gotten drunk and molested a 17-year-old girl during a sleepover years ago.
“GOD knows the truth, nothing is the way they make it out to be,” Johnson wrote in the since-deleted post. “I cannot handle it any longer . . . BUT HEAVEN IS MY HOME.”
The Republican lawmaker then drove to a graffiti-covered bridge outside Mount Washington, Ky., a quiet and isolated spot called the River Bottoms. He parked, stepped out of his car and shot himself with a .40-caliber handgun, according to Bullitt County Sheriff Donnie Tinnell.

This sounds like the behavior of Franken and many others without having to use the term "Sex Assault" or "Rape." Still bad, just not going all the way up to full on penetration or intrusion.Quote:

Just start using it, when asked, explain the definition, and it'll spread. Like "Mansplaining."Quote:

Mom refuses to let the girl talk to the vice-principle and nothing happens. Can't even call it double standards, they are all over the place. Gentlemen are scared to tell a lady she looks nice while true pigs are getting passes left and right and promiscuous females are enjoying preying on men using "sex assault" as a weapon while true victims are left with shattered lives in many cases. It is a real fine mess with bad actors on all sides of the aisle that are incriminating others just for being a man, or a woman. Maybe the "sexual revolution" is exacting the associated tolls on our society.
The combination of sexual abuse of women AND using sex to keep women down has been building since the dawn of time. The pendulum will likely swing too far on this for a while, and I can't really say I blame the women.
Maybe not-Quote:

This situation has turned into character assassination. Make allegations, there's no due process, and somebody is destroyed.
It's getting to the point that men don't feel safe being alone with a woman in a business context (not prostitution, smart alecks) due to what she might say.
In before first article of men wearing body cams at work.
I considered this sort of thing as a likely/inevitible result of all of these allegations. Problem is that you'll have terabytes of terabytes of recording you'll have to keep for the rest of your life because someone can make a claim decades after it supposedly occured (as has occured in at least one of these claims).Quote:

We've seen many teachers and child care providers falsely accused who have lost their careers, their reputations, family, friends and lots of money. Most never recover any of the things they've lost. Once the accusation has been made, public perception rarely swings back into the favor of the accused no matter how clearly they are acquited of the claims. Once the mark is on you, it's essentially impossible to remove it completely.
Rule #1: Colorado is a one-party state. What this means is as long as the conversation is between you and one other person, you're golden and you can record without their consent. The MOMENT another party enters the conversation, you are now guilty of wiretapping. You may decide this will not matter, but if you introduce such a thing in court to defend yourself, the opposition will get it tossed and all of your careful planning will be for naught.Quote:

Your best bet, honestly, is to go old school with your efforts: do your best to never be alone with someone. Make sure there is someone that can act as an unofficial 'escort' (as in, someone you trust, not their friend/confidante); if that's not possible, then make sure the door is open (proverbial or metaphorical) to discourage potential for shenaigans. If you think that's impossible or highly improbable, remember this: women have been dealing with those situations for decades.
Eons-old accusations rising to the top to summarily bury the accused is a shocker- but it should not have been so unexpected. Let's look at the scandals in Hollywood, for instance. In a hypothetical situation, a young actress goes to meet a director about a role. This may be her first role; or it may be the role she's been desperately hoping will pull her out of the rut she's currently in (average job, school, no income- I don't need to go further, because we have all worked toward a goal that we have pinned our hopes on that has depended upon the graces of others in one form or another) and will open doors. Of course, the actress is met with the classical dilemma that is presented to her: either scratch the itch of the king in charge of the doorway to her goal, or leave and kiss her dreams goodbye (blackball, anyone?) I've seen what some of you have stated- she should have just kissed her dreams goodbye and went back to her waitressing job or cleaning the hotels or whatever, and be grateful for what she's got. Sure. I'm sure that's exactly what YOU did when faced with whatever dilemma stepped in your path to prevent you from reaching your goals, right?
Of course not. Sometimes you reach for the brass ring, and close your eyes to the unpleasantness. Let me tell you- this has not started with Hollywood. Many women's bosses have been proposing such things for about as long as they've been working outside of the home. You want a promotion? Bend over that desk. Promotion time comes around, and she's passed over- what's she going to do? That extra promotion money goes elsewhere. Nobody will listen to her. She's a disgruntled employee of little import. If they do listen to her, she's a homewrecker, a slut that sleeps her way to the top.
That is, until now.
Long memories and resentment go hand-in-hand. Now that these women are stepping up and finding power in numbers of accusations, let the bodies hit the floor. There's been a LOT of abuse of power; a LOT of men in charge practicing droit du seignuer as though it were their god-given right. It's draining the Hollywood swamp.
Will there be abuse of this? Yep. That's an unhappy fact, and I can't figure a solution. Maybe someone else can.
Clearly, there are innocent men that will be dragged through the mud. That's not good.
Men, keep yourselves in groups if you can. Witnesses are your friends. If you work with a woman that strikes you as someone that could be vindictive or is an activist feminist, you must not give them anything they can hang their hat on. In case this is news to you, women barely tolerate society's rules, because it is easier to get along in life with them. Until it isn't. Once the rules are discarded, that game of chess you think you're playing turns into Calvinball.
Complacency is not your friend when you are in the company of a woman that can accuse you of anything. Rail about the injustice of it another time. Be pleasant to her when you must be in contact with her, be very, very careful of what you say to her - when in doubt, agree with her, or make some noncommittal noise that implies she's right. Never, ever give her an opening that she might exploit- either now, or later. Be inoffensive.
Those rules are the rules I had to learn when working in a male-dominated field. I was never raped, but I was harrassed and dealt with "unwanted sexual contact" often. I was young, and the only female in the shop. I had no friends to speak of. Let me tell you something- I didn't give a crap what the proper phrase (sexual harrassment, contact, etc. Men were touching me and grabbing me and scaring me and I knew they could hurt me) was- when I went to the shop supervisor with the issue, he didn't know what to do about it. These were people he had worked with for years. A good ol' boys network. His solution was to tell me, "You are responsible for your own morale." BOOM.
In my situation, words were never more freeing. And that, I think, is what is happening with all of the accusation. Do I find some of them suspcious? Do I find some of them unlikely, or silly? Yes. But then again, we're only privy to that whch the media brings us. I think Irving is correct when he said that the pendulum will swing in the other direction for a while before heading back toward the center.
I feel badly for the men that are innocent of the things they are/will be accused of. And I'm sure there will be more. I give a fist-pump for those brought down because they thought they could play grab-ass or snatch a little on the side because they happened to be the very big frog in that pond. And if any women were false accusers due to whatever reasons and they get caught? I'll rejoice in their downfall as well.
