you may get the pound of flesh from HR but then literally nobody is ever going to speak to you again

Is the fact that he was Muslim relevant at all though? Seems the same anecdote leaving that out would have been just as true and relevant.
@waltercool
Ahh, perhaps, sure. Is there reason to think that was the case here though? Did the guy get reprimanded specifically for being prejudice?
@waltercool
Me too had its place in the legitimate cases. the problem with everything feminist is they take it too far and do more harm than good despite having good intent.
Pesky women, always taking their desire to end sexual harassment too far!
Yea, i mean, when you start accusing people of rape who didnt actually rape you, literally, then it is taking it too far. This shouldnt be a hard concept to understand.
And you have proof of that happening on a significant scale, i.e. more than a few unproven anecdotes?
There is about as much evidence of false accusations as there are of true ones... The bulk of cases in either category tend to be scarce when it comes to evidence. That is the very problem with treating them as true in the first place.
And I'm saying that as per Occam's Razor, the more likely thing is that the allegation is true. That's why it's normal for people to consider it true regardless of whether it can be proven in court and turned into an official punishment.
Actually ocams razor would imply we should not assume an accusation is true or false and assume that it is unknowable... Ocams razor dictates we must make the choice that makes the least assumptions, therefore we are dictated by ocams razor to not assume a claim to be true or false without evidence.
The fact that a woman claims that a man harassed her requires an explanation.
Since he cannot have both harassed and not harassed her, there are broadly only two possible explanations:
- He did it (men do that commonly for pleasure, no further explanation needed)
- She's lying (why should she, further explanation is needed)
occam's razor was developed to select formulas that address the outcome of observations of physical experiments.
@freemo @waltercool
Men commonly sexually harass women, that is literally not even up for debate lol.
I'm removing myself from this discussion because arguing against three people at once is tiring, especially since I think all three of you lack even the most basic understanding of sexism / social context.
I would imagine all three of us have the same impression of you as completely lacking even the most basic understanding of sexism / social context.
foir sure. neoliberals are a stain and ruining any real progress for women or sexism in general.
@icedquinn @socjuswiz @freemo Sadly, gender politics are same as race politics, they are good intended but will only affect them negatively.
The more you try to protect legally some ethnic, race, gender… the more people will avoid them. Discrimination laws aren’t a way to resolve anything.
if she says yes its a yes if she says no then stop immediately. end of.
all that other crap about "i'm gonna say yes but i dont actually mean it and/or i did mean it when i said it but i reserve the right to retroactively have been abused" can fuck right off
