This is a guy who prides himself on hating education, not really having much of a career, and channeling all his financial pride into having supposedly bought a house (at someone else's initiative) in a region full of people who hate most of what he stands for. Things that really must turn a woman on - especially the "strong" ones he says are great. (Even though his own is immature enough to rely on adolescent eye-rolling to make a point).<br /><br />Curiouser and curiouser. Good to know the rest of the blog, as well as Deneuve, is not so unhinged.Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Togetherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02059991118123693141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-44650457983723355882018-01-15T18:40:06.379-06:002018-01-15T18:40:06.379-06:00“Not always.”

What a depraved, weird perspective of reality. Perhaps that's the way it is in the liberal realm, where human fitness is an imposition and Posterity is a punishment.

Or a co-worker your dad's age massaging your neck while you are at work. Or a client - again, married, your dad's age - kiss you. Or, when you tell your boss you don't want to work with that client again, he tells you that you must have provoked said married, old man to kiss you."<br /><br />All those things are bad. ( However, I had my ass grabbed when I was a 19 year old waitress too and, although I didn't like it, I didn't brood about it for years. I told the jackass to cut it out and went about my business. Jesus H, waitresses have been getting their asses grabbed by strangers for forever and the usual response though the years has been to say "Stop it!" or to push the hand away or even slap the dirtbag ( my mom did that to a guy who got grabby on a streetcar back in the '40's and was backed up by the other men there, who told him he was acting like a jerk.) To do nothing and then feel resentment for years about it is just another example of how trivial incidents are being blown up and conflated with much more serious sexual assaults. The reaction of your boss was more serious because your boss had power over you. That's a difficult situation to be in. <br /><br />There are situations where women can stand up for themselves and other situations where they can't without risking their jobs or some sort of reprisal. It's the latter situations that should concern us. But there have been reports of women getting guys fired just because the guys asked them out or told dirty jokes which made the women "uncomfortable." Actual exhibitionism is one thing and should be punished (because anybody who waves their dick around at work is a loon, unless he's a porn actor). Constantly leering at or making sexual jokes at work isn't acceptable either - but the woman has to make it clear that it isn't acceptable, not go along with it and pretend it's all cool before racing to HR. <br />exiledonmainstreet, green-eyed devilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03996979470278945904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-66790308879182748222018-01-15T14:13:48.969-06:002018-01-15T14:13:48.969-06:00Fraternity has a revolutionary meaning in France.
