I have to admit. If I were a woman and could sleep my way up to a good position I would do it in a heartbeat. Sex and easy promotions, why pass that up.
Yes, we dated. It was more than 20 years ago. Yes, I may have influenced her career by appointing her to two state commissions when I was Assembly speaker.
And I certainly helped with her first race for district attorney in San Francisco. I have also helped the careers of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. Dianne Feinstein and a host of other politicians.
How many politicians this playa screwed?
He should get the purple heart award or something. He is our hero!
OK, may be not a purple heart but perhaps a purple "male genital organ"?
I'll agree with you. To a point. You see I worked at a place that had a very large number of employees spread out over 250 square miles working in a lot of different types of work. And a lot of them were women. Of all ages. There was one particular director type that was over field operations and production buildings. He also oversaw storage. He had a reputation, a well deserved one, for being a lecherous rodent. He singled out certain women for his...stable, we'll call it. There was a name attached to these women and oh yes, his "favorites" would get plumb postings and promotions such as they were.
When your rolling in mud on 20 degree days with a stiff wind blowing and then are in a nice heated truck that's a promotion. Even if the pay isn't any better. But that's only if there was certain "favors" grantd of course. I despised this creep. He's still alive so I still do. I don't often use the term "hate" for just a dislike, but this varmint comes right up to the edge and sticks his toes over. I never held a damn thing against the women (girls quite often right out of high school) he ...groomed. And he covered his a$$ very well. He was fortified all the way to the very top and they covered him in legal proceedings twice while I was there.
And here' the interesting part. There was more than a few women in the upper echelon that had very active rolls in his protection. Not all of the women he approached took him up on his offers. And they always just quietly went away. Oh, what I would give for the chance to be alone in a securely buttoned room with him. The level of my dislike for this guy does indeed border on true hatred. There's more to that but I won't go into it. But yes, I very much do see the men behind the "sleeping their way up" thing with women. That being said I also see the women very clearly. Especially the ones I mentioned earlier that were on the creep in question's ...defense team. All of them to the last one did not achieve their positions on merit.
They were total rodentia in character. Vicious, nasty rancid ...I could go on. Those women/girls in the field were not, save one who eventually got into the way upper ranks. It, works both ways and in that we agree. I've seen to much to not agree with you on that.
DH was assigned a work group where the supervisor had the female employees sit on his lap and kiss his cheek to get their paychecks. Dh showed up on payday and told the guy if it ever happened again he would be fired on the spot. Our surprise is that the women did it for years.
There will always be females who go along, out of fear or they think that's the way life is. After all, how many agree with the phrase boys will be boys? My standard answer is only if women put up with it.
Proof that extreme liberal minds are completely delusional
Kamala Harris and Bill Clinton will be leading a discussion on 'Empowering Women' sponsored by the Clinton Foundation. It will be held virtually--thankfully--so that no actual woman will be in the physical presence of Bill Clinton.
"Moral" of the story: If you are a woman aspiring to build a career, never have a relationship with a man more successful or powerful than yourself, however brief, or 20 years later you will still be accused of "sleeping your way to the top."
Quite the reach there, but no, that isn't what we are saying. There's enough proof out there that shows Kamala laid up in bed to achieve a few of her goals and had no issues with it. You're deflection due to liking her is exactly that: emotions clouding your judgement and logic.
The men get called out by #metoo and many have lost their jobs, families, and are in jail.
Except Willie.
