This isn't hard folks. What's so freaking complicated about maintaining professionalism at work? I never felt a need to do petty things at work like 'compliment' a woman on her looks, talk about risque things, etc. Self control isn't that hard gents, stop whining and grow up, women in the workforce in general aren't looking to unduly single out guys for harassment.

Most guys that whine about the metoo movement are doing so because they realize they can no longer push the boundaries or engage in crude behavior they think is perfectly fine, but in reality are sexually harrassing. This includes bosses that want to take their female underlings to private lunches and spend time with them outside of work (like one creepy individual in the employment section of CD who continually felt a need to emphasize how hot a woman was he wanted to mentor, ewww).

Wow, once again, ANOTHER LOAD OF PURE BS!

I do NOT compliment women on their looks, EVER, and I do NOT "push the boundaries" on women in that regard. Why? Because WOMEN ARE NOT WORTH IT!

But I am terrified. Why? Because women have bad days and may decide to make some crap up about me to get me fired and celebrate with her "gal friends" and a round of some foo-foo drinks at the local bar while they sexually harass their male bartender (it's okay when women do it )


Why is that so hard to understand? It is about AVOIDING FALSE ALLEGATIONS, not "avoiding temptation." And I hate to hurt any massive feminine egos (actually, I don't ) but I am NOT interested in doing anything with any woman. Sorry, but a fantasy about an anima girl is a heck of a lot better than a whining, smelly, gold digging, good-for-nothing reality with a "real" woman.

And if you made it that long without some female on her "lady cycle" deciding that she wants to ruin your life for kicks, good for you. But guess what? There are plenty of people who walked through the South Side of Chicago alone at night and never had anything happen to them either. Does that mean it is a good idea to walk around the South side of Chicago alone at night? No.

And if you made it without having a woman get bored and decide to make a false claim against you, the same thing applies. You were lucky, but not all of us are as lucky.

Simple as that.

I would never mentor a woman at work just like I won't coach, or be a Scout leader anymore. NOT WORTH THE RISKS.

I just hope this crap doesn't creep into the porn industry. That would ruin so many days.

I've personally taken to just not being around women at all. Sorry, but my freedom is worth a lot more than whatever I would gain from being around some female for any reason.

I would rather not scratch my neck the wrong way and have some woman (who I thought was my friend) have some weird mode swing due to her "lady cycle" get offended somehow and decide to call the cops and accuse me of rape.

Sorry, but female company just isn't worth the risk.
Sounds hysterical.


Women have been fired for the past 50 years if she DARED accuse her aggressor of improper behavior - even when it was true.


Guess what? We just kept on working, striving, and taking care of business.


Suck it up buttercup.
