Normal people don't walk around their business associates naked or put their hands on any other human being without their consent and consider that "flirting and playing".

You are talking to a guy who worked in the restaurant industry in the 70's where we used bang waitresses in the walk-in, on very iffy consent terms (basically if they did not run away the fun happened), so color me not impressed with the recent allegations "OH He put his had on my ass once, HE HAS TO GO!".

Real Life that is.

Meh, I'm pretty sure we don't need to employ a Utopian standard to stop raping and touching and assaulting other people, especially women.

Decent human beings just don't do it.

All kinds of common flirting and playing has now been reclassed as abuse by the feminists, and a whole lot of men are being beaten as a result.

SAD

There is something wrong with someone who thinks grabbing someone's genitals or exposing themselves to someone constitutes "harmless" flirting. It's very difficult to take you seriously.
 
There is NO doubt that men, in positions of power-used their power to abuse women who were subordinate to them. But there is also no doubt that some women used flirtation and the promise of sexual favors to gain favor with such men and are now using claims of harassment as a weapon against such men whenever there is a power struggle. generally there is some element of truth on both sides of these claims

It appears assaulting women is the norm in the USA. I laugh at the "now that I'm caught I deeply regret my actions" apologies. Maybe if women could muster up the guts to report it when it happens the lists of victims would not be a list at all. When women get harassed and don't report it they are s guilty as the person that did it. They have no regard for other women that will be his victims in the future so I have not sympathy for them as they also belong in jail. Remember, "If you see something. say something?"

There is no way you can understand the blacklisting and threats women who dare to report have to endure. Hopefully, these brave women comming forward, finally will make life better for women in the workforce in the future.

What about grazing a tit or an ass.....can we all agree that this does not make a man trash, maybe even if he has the habit?

We need to draw some sensable lines, because if we continue to let the feminists decide I am telling you that we men will all end up in chains.

The lines are clear. You DO NOT touch a woman unless you have permission.

Clear and sensible

DANGER DANGER....you have gotten too close to the truth that women who are not invalids tend to be the prime regulators of these interactions.
 
If any of you skeptical guys have young daughters just maybe they won't be become victims of sexual assault, harassment or abuse one day.

Right, and what qualifies as permission has changed greatly over the years.

What else have you got for me?

I spent 24 years trying Title VII cases mainly as a defense attorney for government agencies and agents. and I have seen hundreds of bogus claims of sexual harassment and many valid ones as well.

I'm no longer surprised by any of this. It's got to be rampant in these types of industries.

Decent guys make sure our daughters are aware of THE REAL WORLD, and are prepared to deal with it.

Depending upon when you retired you likely as well saw many women who have been trained since birth to be victims, and to do their best to help beat upon men.
 
Damn. I'm really gonna miss Charlie's PBS show and the theme music.

How about:

Never in a professional setting like an office or unexpectedly in a coworkers hotel room?

Asking first?

I've had several rewarding experiences behaving that way. I think it's more manly to have the woman's consent. Having a reputation as a grabby perv guarantees a man less sex 'cause women would avoid you.

Sad that you consider "consent" to be a dirty word.

Grazing breasts and butts on purpose as a habit? Yes, that makes a man trash. Next?
