This is why our first EV will be a lease. A lot of these features will be embedded in mid range vehicles. https://www.youtube.com/attributio...
It hasn't changed anything with me. I can't believe some of these reactions. It's as if men are afraid of being falsely accused of something inappropriate by women.
ReplyDeleteIt's as if these men can't imagine women are just people. If you don't compliment men at work, why compliment women?
ReplyDeleteThe first few in that NBC round up make it sound like men are facing a climate of fear. I haven’t read the rest, but if they follow suit, then this is patriarchal propaganda. Abusive males for decades getting away with what Matt Lauer and Morgan Freeman and so many others did, with so many women feeling unable to report it. That’s the climate of fear.
ReplyDeleteThere were some normal sounding men - they'd worked in industries that gradually integrated women and there was no problem, treat them as a colleague. They had a range of women as well. Some got confidence to report stuff or ask for raises and others felt there had never been a problem. There were a couple saying they were professional and "robotic"?!?
ReplyDeleteI don't know. Our company doesn't have any strange strictures on who to travel with (everyone gets their own room) or share offices with. You deal with whoever you work with.
My father was a relentless philanderer. I've watched as other people, especially four-day-a-week onsite consultants, have little affairs on the sly. I swore I'd never go down that road. Too dangerous.
ReplyDeleteI learned from old school, always be professional. If some guy feels strange and uncertain around women in the workplace, afraid of being cornered on a harassment beef, that guy's going to be in trouble anyway. People know when they're being avoided. It's kinda creepy and disconcerting. It could be even be construed as passive hostility If life didn't teach these guys how to interact with women on a professional basis, maybe they need some training. Seriously.
Some of those comments seem really rediculous like a man and a woman are not allowed in the same room together unless there is a third person.
ReplyDeleteThere hasn't been any changes at my work place. We have had anti-bullying and anti-harassment policies in place for years already.
Nothing here, either. But my work place has very clearly defined policies on harrassment, etc.
ReplyDeleteGene Chiu I can see it in a doctor office during physicals.
ReplyDeleteCindy Brown Now that I think of it me too. I did work for a couple small offices back in the early 80s but they had a family atmosphere where co-workers felt like non-competing siblings. After that, hospitals, universities and multi-nationals
As a co-worker said, people who aren't a-holes won't have a problem with #MeToo.
