Liberal Hollywood and the Pedophilia Problem

It will get heated. Can't take it, don't open the forum.

We tolerate extreme views, assuming no actual discrimination against board-members occurs. We will let snowflakes melt from the heat.

Gonna be worse for women in the end. While they certainly were treated as objects before, expect less opportunity now. Why risk even meeting with someone who is gonna fling accusations on social media when they lose or do not get a job?
In what universe do you live? It’s a freaky place.
I guess i live in the real universe. One where people in real positions of power are making decisions that are likely to have fewer consequences. Right this minute, do you not think there are people doing hiring who immediately exclude women with names like "Mercedes", "Lexus", "Shaniqua", and "LaShonda", because they would rather not give them the opportunity than deal with the bullshit that would come about if they had to fire them later? Or have to deal with social media calling them names because it was simply a poor fit?

It happens. It is the flip side that people are afraid to discuss.
But there are literal laws against this sort of thing, and there’s a lot more focus on diversity and equality in most of the Western world. These kind of made up horror scenarios are not the norm and they can’t be. Because it would be instantly obvious to HR and leadership teams across the board who discuss such things.

I’m not saying it can’t happen, but it isn’t the norm and even in the instances you’re discussing the problem isn’t that women and men are increasingly able to speak out against rape and sexual assault. It’s that employers are being dickheads. We shouldn’t normalize assault ship that employers will gamble on more women being employable. That’s sick and twisted.
Laws! Literal laws! Like the laws that say don't cornhole kids, sexually assault people, etc.? Clearly that works...

Why do you think employers look at social media? They want to see if you are going to be a problem. Would you rather just keep looking or deal with someone who has a history of public discord?
Looking on social media to see if you're a problem is not the same as refusing to hire any women. This really isn't that complicated.
It is not refusing. It is moving them to the bottom of the pile. They will stiull get jobs, just not as many. Nobody wants the drama.

Sure, whenever possible you try to cut down on drama. If someone is dramatic, litigious, political, etc., it is marks against them. If they had a bunch of jobs in the past, big chunks of time not working, no car, smokers, etc.

I remember one time there was a temp working for us, and slowly it creeped out (of his own doing) that he was quite litigious, ya know slipped on the floor of a supermarket he'd sue type of thing, other petty shit. In just my limited time talking to him it was up to half a dozen instances he'd tried this. Think he got hired permanently?

To give a flip side on how to handle things, one of my best employees was mistreated at her previous job. She started working there, got lots of hours and was really friendly with the manager. Then he found out she had a boyfriend. Everything changed and she was no longer getting hours. She left that job without making a huge ordeal over it because it was impossible to prove and not really worth it. She understood that she needed to find a job that valued her work enough to want her working there, rather than to be a party friend or sitting on the sideline.

Nah, another employee. Ms. Poland landed a job that will expedite her citizenship here. She just works with me on occasion now.

But that wasn't your point at all. There's still a fine line there for me, but definitely very different to the idea that a woman, just for being a woman, will be removed from opportunities.

These things cut both ways. When they want special treatment, opportunity, and to play the victim card at every turn because they are women, don't expect there not to be an equal and opposite reaction the other way.

When your societal group gets associated with drama and bullshit, that is the result. No one is doing them favors by telling them how brave they are and making victims of the accused by punishing them without evidence. The further the pendulum swings, the further it swings back.

Must be a US thing. That’s not how Sweden works. Or the UK.

And the solution is for men to stop being cunts. Not for women to let them grab their butts.

Yeah, no woman ever has touched a guy's ass..,

What other fantasy solutions would you like to submit?

- "people should just stop shooting each other!"
- "people should just stop stealing!"

Maybe women should carry more guns. Then they can have a fighting chance against a rapist. That is a real, tangible action that produces results.

So your solution to sexual harassment is murder. But I’m the unreasonable one.

It is a solution against rape, the worst type of sexual assault. Gun control is misogynistic.

That is not a solution against anything...

Take one of the recent things raised, Al Franken and his radio show. That situation is unacceptable, but does not get solved by arming the sleeping woman.

Take another, Roy Moore. Once again, arming underage teens to shoot DAs, is not a solution...

Hell, even in actual instances of rape, the issue is not made better by firearms. That's not how you solve problems.
