The rich historical record of male violence against women is why.

Are you implying that "verbal abuse" is entirely impossible? But verbal abuse is a widely recognized category of abuse in law enforcement and domestic violence support networks around the world. You can see the top-level comment b

I'm curious as to why "tweets" are implied to be any less legitimate of a means for presenting information publicly than letters to a newspaper or something.

Do you believe that prohibition of sexual harassment is a "professionalism rule"? Because this would imply that in other areas of everyday life, where professionalism is not relevant, you believe that sexual harassment is/sh

"Some women" believe that women are meant to serve their husband's every command, but this is not consequential to the responsibility of the men in these subcultures (like those often within religious communities, for example

You use the word "societal". But how are women, who make up more of any human "society" than men, contributing at all to the "problem"? Can you give any examples, or a general idea? I'm not "giving

>expecting [harassers] to self-police without anyone calling them out on it is unrealistic Yes, that is why I charge all of us men with "policing" each other. The non-violent of us should be trying to get the violent of us un

Sure; we can start with the history of male violence against women in all recorded civilizations, and any statistics on male violence against women.

Who is trying to bring "justice" on social media? All I see is exchanges of knowledge and analysis.

A manager at Google abusing a woman and being protected for it is outrage-worthy. Your attempt to frame that reality as less serious is unimpressive.

I agree. I would have removed myself from the situation.

The oxymoron phrase "third wave radical feminism" immediately betrays an uninformed and ahistorical position on feminist movements; it's not just oxymoron as in contradictory but also as in "silly to the point of humor&q

That makes sense, though I'm not sure that it makes up the whole of what nostrademons was talking about.

Assessing a culture involves "generalizations", and thank goodness we can assess cultural climates. Without "generalizations" we could say nothing about how whites treated blacks post-slavery, as the laws and lynchings w

I think what we are dealing with is male culture, not any sort of corporate culture. If we're talking about a corporate culture of not being able to hold people accountable for mistakes in general, then I would agree.

Why can't it be both? Ellis knows the man better than you do.

I don't know about vilified. I would ask why you don't trust the woman, and do trust the man, given the historical record.

You would be "figuratively destroyed"? What does this mean and how do you come to this conclusion? I don't think the quoted bio describes a "troublemaker", could you explain this?

According to your analysis then, he is currently protecting himself. Even though, from how I see it, if action were taken against him, it would generate a lot of publicity and support for him and he would not necessarily sacrifice his lifes

Women don't have do, do they? "Have" implies responsibility. See my reply to esgoto.

I never said that women can't help or change things, I said it is not their responsibility. If it were, even by a tiny degree, and men continue to hurt women, we could say that women just didn't do a good enough job changing men

I would hope that everyone would be "sensitive" to sexual harassment, in that they would be ready to identify when it is happening to them and others. How can a perosn "exaggerate" quotes?

What would be the consequences to Zunger if he did elaborate? Why must he protect Google from a lawsuit?

I agree very much with all of this, except, women aren't responsible for fixing male violence and objectification, we men are. So I would concur with the first sentence if "you" is aimed at men.

Thanks for pointing this out; people will often believe that because someone is telling a story on Twitter, we need not take it seriously. What if the most used internet forums are the only place where some women can air the truth, after

Alcohol, the hour, and the geographic location excuses sexual harassment in your mind?

I believe her, and I believe by the historical record that her male harasser incapable of being a "director" of people, that is, the word "people" defined to include women.

>I'd take whatever she says with a grain of salt. If you mean this universally, then you are not in favor of law enforcement, at least how it is carried out in the modern world.

Showing up to work naked is already considered grounds for reprimand. If you can't be around a clothed woman without breaking down mentally just because she is clothed in a certain way, that is your problem.

For the first thing, I am noting the actual possibility. Whether he is, I don't know, but he in fact could be, and if he were, a lot of people wouldn't catch it unless it was pointed out. I did no such thing as the second thing
