I didn't respond because responding to misogyny like "Well done, feminism. Now men are afraid to help women at work" is pointless. Don't wrestle the pig, you just get muddy and the pig likes it. Ogress On Mon, Oct 5, 2015 at 9:21 PM, Carol Moore dc wrote: > > > On 10/5/2015 11:56 PM, Risker wro

Well, I'd personally expect assault and persistent stalking/harassment to be made crimes. But being obnoxious isn't being harassing. If that were the truth, then I'd be in prison for "harassing" a girl in class that I liked in school. We shouldn't let the nanny state speak up for every "discrimi

These articles do look highly exaggerated. And, of course, for some guys saying they are afraid of being accused of harassment is just a new excuse for cutting women out of the loop. However, there is a real problem of people being overly sensitized to the issue due to over-regulation. This i
