The U.S. House of Representatives plans to vote next week on requiring anti-harassment and anti-discrimination training for all members and their staffs.
House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said earlier this month that the training would be mandatory, but other lawmakers said in a statement Friday that a vote on making the bipartisan resolution a requirement was expected next week.
The House plan comes two weeks after the U.S. Senate approved a similar measure requiring all senators, staff and interns to be trained on preventing sexual harassment.
These guys that push themselves on women are real clods and they need to be shamed.
There is a fund that they use for the legal defense against discrimination suits and for payoffs. We should know who is on the list of people who have used this tax payer based fund.
It is ridiculous what is going on and they need to be exposed for the clods that they are.
Probably but it will be a feel good gesture that DC is so great at enacting.
They are professional experts at blowing hot air that actually does little.
I still say those who exposed themselves in the past should be exposed today so we can vote them out.
It is telling how so many laughed out loud when VP Pence said that he does not allow himself to be one on one with a woman that is not his wife. A mere accusation of inappropriate behaviour can be enough to sink a political career. I think he is pretty smart to avoid situations.
I'm sorry but I don't understand the need for "training" any further than telling everyone "keep your hands and lips to yourself, there's no need to touch anyone other than to shake hands or fist bump" (unless you're doing CPR or saving someone from choking) and "don't say anything to the other sex (or same sex if you're gay) at work that you wouldn't say to your great grandmother or great grandfather".
It's WORK not a cocktail lounge or dating club...
What I realized the other day is we're now coming full circle from what was once called "the stuck up,starched collar olden days" or "prim and proper" if you will to the enlightened sexual revolution days where "everything/anything goes" back to "the stuck up olden days" where people were reserved and "prim and proper" ala the time before the late '60's early '70's when "let it all hang out" began...
Lol. But that's exactly how a lot of people treat work. I worked on Wall Street for many years. Fridays in the summer you'd see all these young women with their carryalls packed for weekend fun at Montauk, the Jersey Shore or if they were really lucky (or hot) a private jet to the Bahamas. They didn't care who took them or what they had to do once they got there...they just wanted some fun and be back at work by Monday. The only "walk of shame" was someone striking out and going home with their carryall late Friday night.
And yet we were all taking our mandated sexual harassment training courses. They weren't about teaching anybody anything, they were about protecting the company from lawsuits.

Better yet we should eliminate that fund and let any Congressman who can't behave pay for their own cheap thrills.
I think if the list of congress creeps who used taxpayer dollars to pay off victims is exposed that will take care of the problem.
No it won't. It should but it won't. We will still vote for our creep so their creep doesn't win.
