Re: Matt Lauer fired from the Today show

He will still get his 20mil.  Men should think about their families before they do such things.  Thinking with the wrong body part is what gets them in trouble.  Any person in power, can abuse their position.

Cokie Roberts, the author of the best seller, "We are our Mother's Daughters" in which, this great journalist who is certainly worth her salt, supposedly asked the questions and exposed all the evil in politics. (sarcasm)

Oh, and then there is the "Women do it, too" (I will be all ears when I hear that a woman (or lots of them!) in power has sexually assaulted a man.

 

 


 

Men also know how to not sweat the drama, say something at the time if they need to and move on.  Women should take note.  Not everything needs to be a criminal or media case.

Re: Matt Lauer fired from the Today show

This will anger many but we are all entitled to our take on this. So here goes -

 

Many men in positions of power feel they are "entitled. "  They need brought to realization .

 

Also there are women who are of the same mind.  Women in power aren't always someone to be admired.

 

Good and bad apples in both bunches.

 

Now with that said, another situation that occurs. False promises of career advancements, promotions, relationships that are consentual but based on lies of a future together.   Revenge , desire to "get even,"  the desire to bring someone down when the realization hits you were being played -  I do think false accusations are plentiful.

I am NOT referring to any one person or persons in the news that have been accused.

@Nonametoday  Yes I think there is a lot of - as long as I'm not being personally harassed, I won't put myself out there to call it out - especially if it's someone I otherwise admire for his political views (and this is on both sides.)

I tend to really doubt that most men would find it appealing and welcome to be cornered and grabbed by the crotch and overpowered by a woman who outweighs him by 100+ pounds.

I don't think workplace abuse is only sexual.  There are different kinds of abuses in the work place.  I have worked with and for women and have seen how evil many can be, just as mean and hateful as men who are sexually harrassing women, are women who are harrassing their coworkers, not necessarily sexually but with threats. Women are more cunning and more clever.  Women do not try to promote fellow female coworkers; they try to destroy them...

Professions dominated by women are notorious for bullying.  Think education and nursing.
