No one makes up stories like this. They're ALWAYS TRUE. Plus, she probably can show him history on whatsapp (if it supports that, I don't know). MILF is NEVE

No one makes up stories like this. They're ALWAYS TRUE. Plus, she probably can show him history on whatsapp (if it supports that, I don't know). MILF is NEVER a compliment to a stranger. It's NEVER a compliment to a friend you just met. It's probably a bad idea even if you're in her bedroom and both stripping down about to have sex. The only time it's sorta safe to call someone a milf is if you were the one who made her a Mom, and even then, it's VERY situational. Basically, just don't.

Wait, so if I go to your boss and tell him you called me a MILF, it's true? It's not completely implausible there is an ulterior motive. And she is well protected if there is. He, on the other hand is not. None of us know enough about the situation to make a determination in either direction.

  If you're a woman, yes, it's probably true. Like 10,000,000:1 chance. If the boss has known me for a long time and it seems completely out of character for me (which it would be), then maybe he talks to me about it to see WTF is up. But some dude who just got hired? Assuming there's no record and no witnesses? You have to go with the vastly more likely case that he did it. If that gets 1 in 10,000,000 guys unfairly fired, but gets 9,999,999 guys justly fired, that's a pretty good outcome in my book.

    As if "positive" discrimation was ever useful or not just another form of discrimiation.

    Jesus, your comment is absolutely terrifying to read. Come down from the high castle you put yourself in.

    Where did this 10,000,000:1 number come from? Why 10^7:1, why not 10^100:1? I can't find evidence that men are millions of times more likely to lie in harassment cases.

    The reason sexual harassment complaints are taken at face value and assumed to be true has little to do with probabilities or truth and everything to do with risk. The potential liability of a mishandled complaint is greater than the possible damages (if any) associated with firing an employee in error. And if/when there are future complaints, the existence of an earlier, mishandled complaint greatly increases the contingent liability of that future complaint. Is a risk-based approach less idealistic than a noble pursuit for absolute truth? Sure, but we live in the real world. Companies have to protect themselves, and there is no perfect solution for preventing sexual harassment. Education is critical, but so is a firm response.

I agree with your last three paragraphs. Unfortunately I do think such accusations are made up occasionally -- though probably not as often as true accusations are dismissed as fabrications. (I believed Anita Hill.)
