Here’s the problem with this entire bullshit scenario.
You’re a man. You work with women. Shit happens as it occasionally does in a setting where you work closely together. You have an affair. She’s every bit as into it as you are. She’s in many cases the aggressor. Three years,ten years, thirty years after the fact she claims you “pressured her†The claim is sufficient. You’re toast. You have no recourse. Your denials are ignored. She MUST be believed.
I’ve lived a long, long life for my few short years. Done and seen more than I anyone should. And I’ve done my share of wrong. Once at a conference I may have spent several days with a married woman. It was mutual. I once had a girl I was working on a project with ask me to her room at another conference. She met my married ass with wine and her favorite mix tape of Marvin Gaye and Barry White. First thing she says is she’s tense and would I mind massaging her shoulders.
I recall neither of their names. Could they both come out of the woodwork if I were rich or famous? I’d guess so.
What we are witnessing is a total paradigm shift in structural power. There are forces that have learned that the entire gender can be brought down. It’s the end of the world as we know it. We are on the precipice of 1984.
Yeah but you are talking about maybe one or two issues, and in these situations it was mutual, you didn't use power to persuade them.
With most of these guys it was MULTIPLE and it was because of the positions of power that they abused it and it was covered up. I totally get what you are saying, but with what we have seen as of late, this isn't the kind of things that are happening.
and quite honestly it couldn't happen to better people.
