Ryan is speaking for the House, but the prospect that the voters of Alabama may elect Roy Moore to the Senate and he would then be required to take the Senate’s adopted mandatory anti-harassment and anti-discrimination training is more than I can deal with. Good God!

He is trying to get out in front of this so that he and his pals can determine the content of that training and what gets done with the notes from it. And to forestall changes in the ridiculous way that the house and senate deal with complaints. (Maybe I am a cynic, but I foresee “This is exactly how far you can go without having a complaint upheld.”)

Paul Ryan doesn’t support equal pay for women, he’s anti-choice, and he has voted against child care, food stamps, energy and housing assistance, access to contraception, and Medicaid.

That’s harassment.

After the Anita Hill debacle, my company put ALL of us through sexual harassment training (the right phrasing btw) that has to be 20-30 years ago. Glad to see the House (and Senate?) are finally on board. What a frigging joke this is…

Exactly - that’s been part of every job I’ve had since 1992. Why is this new, and why is it spun as a good thing that this is happening, nearly a quarter of a century after private business embraced it as a good idea?

It’s a no lose scenario for Ryan. We all know his kink is knocking meds out of your elderly parents’ hands while he reads underlined passages from The Fountainhead.

I want these recorded because I don’t believe for a second that any Republican will actually pay attention, if they even attend.

Exactly, I expect that this training will be mandatory for staff, but not necessarily the actual members of Congress.

It appears that House members will retain the mandate freedom to harass poor or disabled Americans.

Basically, it’ll teach broads how to use make up to conceal puffy crying eyes. Nobody wants to see that.

I’ve worked for a state government agency for 13 years, and we’ve had it for the entire time I’ve been here. Perhaps I should mention that I don’t work in Alabama or Wisconsin, but a blue state.

Or they’ll make jokes. Like “I wish someone would sexually harass me” like men always do when the subject is brought up.

As if in the throes of lust a congress critter is going to remember he’s been taught not to feel lustful. There’s a Yiddish saying to this effect, but much bluer. There are some assault charges being talked about at Sacramento, as you probably know, investigations will follow, change of positive change to follow, not so much.

How about mandating some anti-pedophilia training too for the Alabama contingent?

Nope, in the dark about this. Or at least I think I am.

The Senate resolution for similar classes required the Senators to take the classes, too.

Assuming you actually look her at her eyes (as opposed to her chest).
