Their are an abundance of false claims of sexual assault, sexual harassment, how does a man fight a sexual harassment allegations on the job?
What makes you so sure the claims are false?
Fighting it is easy:
1) Don't sexually assault anyone
2) Don't sexually harrass anyone
I've never been assaulted in the workplace. I have been harrassed. And no, HR won't do anything just based on someone's word - you need to have solid evidence to back it up. Documentation, recordings... like age discrimination, it's very difficult to prove.
As far as sexual assault, I imagine it is extremely traumatic, but so are many many other things and people don’t wait years to file a report and put a charge on the person. There is no evidence to substantiate the claim after years or even months. So the cases are based on circumstantial evidence.
What about men who have come forward years later claiming they were assaulted by priests? If there's no statute of limitations on the charges ...
There may not be evidence at all, or even a day later. Someone's first instinct would be to take a shower. And as I mentioned, there's the secondary trauma of victimizing the victim. Once someone presses charges, you get a mob of people trying to slut-shame, harrass and threaten the victim. Some people are reluctant to go through that - go figure...
If a woman assaults a man, boys, another woman, whatever - she should be prosecuted if the victim comes forward, whenever the victim comes forward. There have been plenty of cases of female teachers committing statuatory rape of male students. It's just as bad and they belong in jail if they do it.
So, do you think the President is a racist??
Do you think the Pope is Catholic?
Let's see:
1973 - Sued under the Fair Housing Act for refusing to rent to black applicants and lying about rental availabity to black people.
1980's - Sued for discrimination by Trump Castle employee. Apparently, whenever Donny and Ivana came to visit, the managers ordered all the black people off the floor, out of sight.
1989 - The Central Park Five - went full postal putting out ads calling for the death penalty (they were later cleared by DNA evidence.)
1992 - Trump Plaza fined $200K for discrimination for ordering black employees off the floor to accomodate one of their customers.
2004 - Fired a black contestant from his reality show for being "overeducated."
2005 - Publicly suggested, amidst falling ratings, doing a "white people vs black people" version of that show.
2011 - Birtherism, Demanding Obama's university transcripts because he didn't think he was a good enough student to get into Harvard (based on ... what???)
2015 - Called all Mexican immigrants 'rapists' (technically "bigoted" not "racist" because Mexican isn't a race)
2016 Campaign - Never denounced any of the white supremacist groups who support him. Retweeted posts from white supremecists and neo-nazi's throughout his campaign
2017 - White supremacists in Charlottesville - "Very Fine People"
Referred to Haiti and African countries as "sh*thole countries.
To name a few ...
Then he tells 4 black / brown women (3 of them born in the USA) to "go back where they came from." A pretty common racist expression, no?
And he just invoked a Klan-associated slogan yesterday at one of his campaign rallies. But I'm sure it was just a "coincidence" ...
So you tell me.
