I got to see footage of it on TV just the other night. It's all very frustrating bc I'm sure he still sits in that same position. So if it does go to court, they've got more than just witnesses, the idiots taped it all. This was all caught on tape just so you know. I got to see footage of it on TV just the other night.

We're not contemptuous because he's a man. We're contemptuous because he's a jackass who publicly humilated a subordinate.

No, seriously -- I wonder these things sometimes, because I personally see nothing wrong with some old fart appreciating my womanly ass walking away from him. Calling me back and telling me to walk away again and then making cracks about it -- well, that's over my personal line. In other words, I can appreciate his sentiment that the day he doesn't watch a pretty girl walk away is the day he dies. But I can certainly take exception to him embarrassing women by TELLING them to do so. Make any sense to anyone else?

My point exactly. Ms Krum said she was EMBARASSED not harassed. Third parties made it into harassment. Misandry???? "Say whatever you want to whomever you want whenever you want. And live with the consequences." JEEEEEEEEZZZZZ “What is or is not acceptable is more defined by the perceptions of the receiver than the sender.” My point exactly.

Live with it, don't be so lineal. What is or is not acceptable is more defined by the perceptions of the receiver than the sender. So, don't say anything sexual to a woman in the office. It's not the place for it. If that's a bit difficult....telling a woman you lover her tits is o.k. if she's your g/f not so good if she's your executive assistant. Try this... If someone said it (or did it) to your mother or daughter, how would you feel? Smitty, there ain’t no perfect line. Live with it, don’t be so lineal.
