Sexual harrasment must stop.

Comments like that ARE sexual harrasment.

Y'know, I disliked Clinton, and he was the epitome of a sexual harrasser in the workplace.

.............but I wouldn't say stuff like that even about him. Even if I thought it was true.

Clinton didnt grope and brag.

So what's the solution? When I taught school I confronted it directly a few times in young men. Don't know if it actually did any good. I think for starters it should be part of every school's curriculum, all along. More research is needed on how to teach young folks the difference between harassment and flirting. In that very confusing time of adolescence, it's hard to figure it all out. They all need help, and by trained people. Unfortunately many adults are still afraid to broach the topic.

As a victim of sexual assualt and harassment, honestly both. But to use this as a political argument/point, instead of a legitimate call to action (don't act like this is in any way serious to you), is reprehensible.

Everybody deals with stuff in different ways. If this is not for you then don't partake.

Aye, his post seems an anti-gay slur.

Or you could 'not' make a joke about a serious subject and then place it it NA politics( trying to be serious) instead of jokes. But hey, what ever makes you feel like your making a difference in the world (lmao).

Yet you make light of it as well.

Perhaps some self reflection is called for eh?

I see what you're saying, although perhaps it's a sad commentary that much of our culture still has a kind of juvenile, teenage view about sex. Just like many other aspects of human nature, some people regard it as funny or fodder for humor.

I'm not making light of a situation of sexual assault. I'm making light of the fact that some people have to be a-holes to feel better about themselves. I just didn't feel like specifically pointing out for you because I thought you were wiser then that, but I will now.

And it's sad, and unfortunately until it happens to them (hope not), it seems no one will actually care. Instead, let's use it for political fodder. SMH

I laugh at horrible things, that doesn't mean I don't find them horrible and/or want them to stop.

Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up. -C.S. Lewis

There is nothing wrong with the proper sort of juvenile view.

No. He raped and figured he had a right to do so.

The word is "accused"

I can.therefore assume your judgement is guilty without charge.

Of course he may be guilty. But I have never heard him bragging about it

Well, I guess that settles that. Only the left is allowed to judge someone guilty without trial and conviction.

............and as for bragging about it, I don't get that. Is it OK to do this stuff if you don't brag?
