For a year I only dated travel nurses. Omg. What a joy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happen to believe that what constitutes acceptable or appropriate behavior in any given situation should come pretty easily to you - and we shouldn't have to have a comprehensive list to go by. If you need a list, then, by all means, develop one and pin it to your shirt. Finally getting back to being honest in your posts. Again, you simply wish to substitute your fiat declarations for what is reasonable; and to those ends refuse the discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 10 minutes ago, Boyst62 said: So many ways to take this. Let's start simply. When it happens. Report it then. Scream it atop The mountains. Don't let yourself be put in a position to allow this to happen as a male or female. If someone is in appropriate then you leave the situation then and there. And do not return. I don't agree with you in general on this topic but I do agree with the above 100%. I do struggle with why people let things go unchecked or unreported. No job would be so important to me that I would allow someone to sexually assault me and continue to put myself in that position without taking action.

The reason most people don't initially come forward is the fear of not being believed and the consequences that follow personally, and professionally. Believing the accuser is not a reasonable standard when metering out consequences. There is a reason liberalism evolved a standard of "innocent until proven guilty", and while we aren't talking about the law, we are talking about an operational societal standard.

Basically, this is your set of feelings. They hold no facts. An individual's learnings, in the context of said person's beliefs and lifestyle, are 'feelings'? That's a tough field to plow.

I'm sure I won't care what it is, but that's just insane you'll take 3 plain and simple things and refute them Check your man card. It's not a feeling. There's plenty of research by trained psychologists that explains why victims don't immediately come forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 If a private company hears credible accusations against one of their employees they are pretty much obligated to act. If a legal incident happened as a result of them leaving the employee in place they could be held liable. Private companies aren't courts. The same rights of due process don't apply.

Maybe in 30 years we'll live in a society where victims feel comfortable coming forward immediately. Reality is that we're not there yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he means is that - if she's not putting out for you - it's because she is putting out for someone at work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're being intellectually dishonest, which is a shame because this had the potential to be an interesting discussion.. The truth is that you want an enforceable standard you are unwilling to define, outside of the notion that the standard should disadvantage men who engage in normal sexual behaviors.
