I have an acquaintance who was fired from his job because of something that happened over ten years ago. His so called accuser recalled an incident between the two of them and related what happened to a higher up in the company. There were never any charges and the accuser and the man who got fired are still friends. But because of the climate that we live in today this guy got **** canned. Some of the accusations that I have seen border on the ludicrous, especially when you have women claiming to have been harassed because someone "ogled" them. I do believe we have to many people living the victimhood mentality today and it is destroying relationships and peoples lives just so they can have their 15 minutes of fame.

![]() Most women have encountered the office Romeo, and those that actually told him to stop it (variable on the actual phrase used) usually aren't bothered again.
Asking someone out for a drink, is not sexual harassment. Asking someone out for a date, is not sexual harassment. Complimenting someone on their attire, is not sexual harassment. Those who say they fear for their jobs, and acquiesce, have actually accepted the proposal. They have placed the value of their job over their personal values. If a man (or in some cases, a woman) is persistent and or threatens retaliation, you go up the ladder. Make yourself heard, plain and clear. It has become a witch hunt... who can they make fall next? True or not, accusations get thrown out, and a possible innocent person's life is devastated. Seems like the latest hobby for some....

![]() Remember when Meryl Streep called Harvey Weinstein a "god?"
Then again Meryl Streep gave Roman Polanski a standing ovation so that pretty much tells ya how broken Hollywood's moral compass is.

![]() SOME are credible. Others no.
I've never understood the mindset of someone who would continue to work for someone or a company who made them uncomfortable. I've left a job because of a #metoo situation. I removed myself to eliminate the problem, even though it was a decent job, but not worth dealing with the person. The other time, I made myself VERY clear it wasn't happening, and they ceased. What is going on now, is a witch hunt. That has become obvious to even the most callous of observers.

![]() Elisabeth Moss is taking a lot of heat (and being laughed at) for her highly hypocritical comments in her acceptance speech at the Golden Globes last night.
For those that don't know Moss is a Scientologist, which is notorious for abuse and covering up sexual abuse within the church. Twitter of course called Moss out in typical hysterical fashion: Quote:

Elisabeth Moss marked her Golden Globe win for Best Actress in a TV Drama by putting her own spin on a quote from Margaret Atwood whose novel inspired Moss' show "The Handmaid's Tale." Moss thanked Atwood and other women "who were brave enough to speak out against intolerance and injustice" before slightly altering Atwood's words saying, "We no longer live in the blank white spaces at the edge of print. We no longer live in the gaps between the stories. We are the story in print, and we are writing the story ourselves." The 35-year-old, who practices Scientology, was immediately called out on Twitter for her acceptance speech with many calling Moss a hypocrite for preaching for equality. Elisabeth Moss is an astonishing actor and deserves her awards, but her outpourings of supposed empathy and solidarity to the #metoo movement don’t quite ring true since she is still a prominent Scientologist - an organisation which silences women more than any other. https://t.co/81HeFNImX2 Moss has had to defend her religion in the past. The former "Mad Men" star is famously hush-hush about her association with the church, responded to a fan's question about "The Handmaid's Tale" and Scientology. "Question though, does it make you think twice about Scientology? Gilead [the fictional country in the TV show] and Scientology both believe that all outside sources (aka news) are wrong and evil…it’s just very interesting," one fan asked Moss in August. Moss responded at the time, "That’s actually not true at all about Scientology. Religious freedom and tolerance and understanding the truth and equal rights for every race, religion and creed are extremely important to me. The most important things to me probably. And so Gilead and 'THT' hit me on a very personal level." The controversial church came under fire late last year when it was revealed that actor Danny Masterson, who is a Scientologist, had been accused of rape by four women and the Church of Scientology was accused of protecting Masterson. People deeply connected with the church told Fox News members did have knowledge of Masterson's alleged behavior way before the media reports. Several sources told us that the Church of Scientology systematically covers up misdeeds of its most prominent members — and Masterson, they say, is no exception. Chris Shelton, a former member of the Church of Scientology and Sea Org from 1987-2012, said the church silences members who want to take complaints to law enforcement. “The church works to protect the church first,” he told Fox News. He said the next most important thing to Scientologists is to protect the members of the church and its public image. “[The Church of Scientology] considers anyone outside the church to be a ‘wog,’ which is a defamatory word describing non-members... It creates an ‘us versus them’ mentality [and tells] members that ‘wogs’ at law enforcement won’t protect them.” Fox News' Diana Falzone contributed to this report. ![]()

![]() The Golden Globes last night was hosted by Seth Meyers. The entire event was to honor the #metoo thing (most women wore black), and he did his part by busting jokes against those accused of sexual harassment and calling them out by name.
Except Matt Lauer. Basically Hollywood is against sexual harassment as long as it doesn't involve certain peeps. Golden Globes viewers slam NBC, 'Today' hosts for no mention of Matt Lauer | Fox News The topic of sexual harassment in the entertainment industry was the biggest topic at hand at the Golden Globes, but one name that didn’t seem to come up during the night, as the show was broadcast on NBC, was Matt Lauer. Lauer’s ex-colleagues from the “Today” show conducted interviews with the stars on the red carpet who donned black to protest harassment. Some viewers found the juxtaposition to be awkward. Meanwhile, during his opening monologue, host Seth Meyers mentioned many of the men in entertainment who had seen their careers crumble following allegations of abuse, but Lauer’s name didn’t come up. Meyers did call out disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey, who was fired from “House of Cards” after actors accused him of assault. ![]()

![]() James Franco won an award at the Golden Globes last night that paid tribute to the #metoo movement.
That's nice, seeing Franco was busted tryin' to get a 17-year-old girl to hook up with him in a hotel room.
