Women of today appear to be sending quite the signal - ENOUGH! Old adage rings true; behavior towards women in society should reflect the respect and dignity you would afford your Mother, Sister and daughter.
Exposing harassment starts an overdue discussion in America.
Trump: I will never sign this warrant targeted specifically at me. No one can regulate my behavior.
Iām surprised they donāt all have to sit through the training to begin with. I think every other federal employee is required to take the classes.
But even if they do take them, the classes are simply CYA for the organization. The people who are predators are still going to behave in reprehensible ways. Iāve seen people take the class one day and the next day they are back to being total slimeballs, and not in a sarcastic way.
The training doesnāt do anything but check a box. They need to fix the way they react to the behavior. Hopefully the new rules will do that, but I suspect they will get watered down in the process.
And when theyāve got the new guidelines theyāll enforce them as aggressively as they enforce the Ethics rules.
Talk about posturingā¦
Solution? Vote 'em out.
Last month Sen. Hirono (D-Hawaii) tweeted, āPretty much every woman that I know, myself included, has a #MeToo story.ā
Sounds about right to me.
Everyone will have training except Conservative Republicans and Bible Thumpers because they are pure.
Itās too soon to talk about sexual harassment.
As laudatory as Capitoās proposal is, itās a shiny object with which to distract voters, away from her support for the various anti-woman policies that the GOP have put forth
Againā¦WHY JUST THE STAFFERS??? The people in POWER aka āSenators and congresscrittersā need to take training, sign on the dotted line that they took the training and be fully aware of the consequences.
Just appreciating the irony of these changes occurring under the āleadershipā of the most predatory of Presidents.
On top of this, weāve got Corker looking at the whole nuclear football thing, also inspired by Trump. Now if we can open up the emoluments clauses for further tightening.
They have diplomatic immunity. They can do as they please.
Iāve worked in a number of National Park Service locations. Online sexual harassment training is always required. Itās pretty good (for online). Apparently for Congressional employees it was required or not depending on whose office it was. Can you imagine what Congressperson or office manager would decide their employees could do without it?
Having said that, of course in the past couple of years there have been huge sexual harassment scandals in a Florida park and the Grand Canyon, among others. The fault, as with everything, goes to the top people at each location.
Iāve taken this training at various jobs. Usually itās inane to the point of worthless. The scenarios they set up and answers asked for at the end in the test section lead me to believe complete idiots walk among us.
Mary comes to work in a short dress and plunging neckline.
Do you
A)-Leer and compliment her on her nice bust and rear end, or
B)-Discreetly avoid making comments about her clothing and keep your remarks to work related subjects?
Gee, I donāt know, can you give me a hint?
WTF?
These are Republicans. They probably hit on their mothers, sisters and daughters.
You know I can never āunseeā that, right?
At the same party, note Blakeās photo girl at top.
Only if the sheep have run away.
I lead a sheltered lifeā¦
