Emasculated by stealth.
Soon every man will be required to look down only and speak to females in respectful tones.
Only to speak when spoken to, they will never again be allowed to initiate relationships or sexual encounters.
And women will cry out
"WHERE ARE ALL THE MEN?"
And the men will go overseas where women are women and men can be men.
And the western women will die out slowly, old maids and virgins.
really?....so you are ok with Craigs behavior...
Well, even though it is not really clear what his behaviour was, it seems one of your Pals is okay with it and not a peep from you.
If what has been alleged is proven and he is convicted of offences, I reckon at its very worst it will show he is a temperamental, arrogant (perhaps a bullying) sleaze, and at its best for him, it will show that there are females who are willing to go along with his conduct in the anticipation it will advance their careers.
Reminds me of this case I had, and I have posted about it before. Dunno why it sticks in my mind but it has. There were some tricky nuances (she was mentally handicapped) to this but it boiled down to this really:
Strawberry pickers have to bend over to pick.....well, they did then. (I've seen some farms now where they seem to lie down on a sort of sled thing to pick.)
So, there is the female picking in front of this bloke who was directly behind her. She is bent over. He was a sort of foreman who was also picking.
He grabs her arse, and digitally 'rapes' her. She moves away and the engagement ends. He does the same the next day, and the engagement ends.
On the third, she is bent over, he is directly behind and it happens again. She moves away and the engagement ends. But, this time she complains and he is charged. I am 'defending him.'
Anyone here guess what I asked her when I cross examined her?
After the right questions, the charges were thrown out.
