The fuck does your wife do? I hope she's a urologist or something
But yes, baseless claims is what describes most everything. Just google "elevatorgate" and I promise your eyes will reach the ceiling.
I've been sexually harassed by a female at work and I'm just an average looking guy. The shit does happen in reverse. I guess I have 10 or so more years before I need to tweet about it and add my name to the #metoo movement. Legit.
That being said, my wife has had more guys randomly take their dicks out and show them to her at work than I can imagine one person should have to put up with. The difference between her and these whiny twitter babies? She puts them in their place on the spot.
Without googling can you recall a single case in the media about guy on guy or girl on girl sexual harassment?
I work in a company which was mainly a predominantly male only industry. Over the last 20 or so years, we have brought the proportion of women into the company to about 40% and rising every year. At a recent meeting, it was discussed that with so many women making allegations of sexual harassment that we have received orders from upper management that there is to be no more women hires.
Yes, the Terry Cruz case. My nephew was harassed by his advisor for dissertation. He, my nephew, won the court case and the guy was fired. Yeah, it happens in every direction because it is about power not sex. Just like rape.
women could also stop thinking people saying "Hi" to them is sexual harassment
Is there any evidence to support that claim? Or is this just the chosen strategy for silencing the womenfolk into submission by creating imaginary "straw man" situation?Well, when "You look nice today" is the equivalent of rape apparently...... you kind of set the standard for an immature and unproductive workplace.

No, not really. It's actually been long known that such cases most often go unreported, leaving no trails of paper or audio or video or anything, really. That is the express fact of the "way things just are" for many, many decades now. The pressure against making these reports is what has long kept victims in relative thrall to both their abusers and the system as a whole.
But, you're not wrong. Obviously we are seeing a clear lack of standards for vetting these cases, which is obviously exascerbated by the fact that most evidence of these claims, due to the nature of our system, simply doesn't exist. I'm not really comfortable with what that means in the now, but if anything, the fact that the response has been swift and effective, could very well end that common lack of reporting. If this movement further empowers victims to be more vocal--meaning actual reporting--then it can only be seen as a positive thing. Change is often messy, massive social readjustments even moreso. It's not supposed to be fun when living through it; one only hopes that we all come out a good bit stronger, and better off over all because of it when the dust settles.
The vetting process is quite easy for the most part. If the accused is a non democrat, the accuser is thoroughly credible, even if people close to the accuser state publicly that the accuser isn't very credible. If the accused is a dem, the accuser is highly suspect and sometimes told to go away if not out-and-out slammed.
There certainly are exceptions to the above, but when it comes to politics it's pretty predictable.
Holy shit, forget a "/s" in there?
You must have not noticed the Democrats who have gotten in just as much trouble over these allegations as others.
The issue being more common on one side than the other likely stems from the fact that the morality police are typically just preaching about their own sins - note the number of publicly homophobic Repubs who secretly enjoy a gay fling from time to time and have gotten caught. Sometimes those flings aren't scandals in their own right, but the hypocrisy sure is. They wantonly fail their own moral standards and yet preach damnation on everyone else.
It doesn't matter where you fall on a political spectrum, behaving like that makes one deserve everything that befalls them.
There was indeed some sarcasm in my post. But in the past, there were Ds that got a pass, a notable example would be Bill Clinton. If the accusation is enough to destroy a person's career, he should've been toast.
