Did they work together? I missed that part.I think you and some others need to realize sexual harassment in or involving the workplace is a complicated issue precisely because women keep quiet due to the impact on their damn job and livelihood.
Why isn't he stopping.![]()
how unprofessional on her part
That's literally 100% exactly what you did. You have standards of conduct for her as a victim, but not for him. That makes you a hypocrite as well as a supporter of socially maladjusted behavior. Bravo.

She didn't keep it professional?!![]()

Reminds me of a friend who has very light Aspergers. Lovely chap but constantly misreads social cues and has a very poor understanding of people politely telling him to back off.
He needs someone to be straight up and say NO or he carries on, seems like Jaffe is in the same boat, or at least thinks sexual advances are ok unless, and only IF they say no.

I *think* what Jaffe's trying to say - read his whole timeline - is that the harassment is disgusting, but the immediate response of Twitter and forums is to go full on torches and pitchforks, and a more measured response is better. He's tried to bring up some possible reasons why this *might* not have been as awful as it probably is.
That said, he's doing it on Twitter and you know how he is....can be combative. So maybe a call to chill out and get all the facts isn't coming across very well.

Would you guys feel like a "victim" if a girl from your job did this to you? Not saying you'd be happy.. maybe some would. But would you feel as a "victim" from text messages?
Like if some drunk co worker sent you a picture of her boobs... would people classify you as the victim of that photo assault? Ha.
Ah okay, I'm unaware of the context of that conversation.
Jake Rodkin's misunderstood The Thing metaphor makes all the more sense today. ;_;
So to sum up this thread in a nutshell
People defending El douche = Cats who have trouble with women in general/forever alone.
This is the same guy - right? This guy is a world class fucking creeper.

Given that the chat was over Facebook means that they were 'friends' on Facebook. Considering I have over 1000 friends on Facebook mixing from family to very close friends to random people I've met over the years, it is easy for anyone paying attention to my updates to come across as knowing me.See my other reply above, I was under the impression that they know each other quite well. If they don't then that explains a lot and makes some of my previous comments irrelevant.

Meh. I don't think his twitter posts were appropriate, but they weren't appalling either. Just sounds like an awkward dude trying a bit too aggressively to get into a (recently divorced?) woman's pants. I haven't researched the entire discussion, but in the OP there are no signs that the woman was outright offended.... not interested, yes, but not some kind of victim requiring a pitchfork and torch whielding mob either.
This shit is tame compared to what I am used to hearing from my peers, but whatever floats the SJW boats.
EDIT: by peers I mean both women and men.
Right, it's all her fault. Standards for her, but none for what he actually did. But as you said, you'll eventually evolve away from your anachronistic attitude.Yay, you read the first sentence of my long post and replied, completely dismissing the rest, bravo to you. Also, if you had actually read all of my posts in this thread you would know that I do have "standards of conduct" for him. For example, I'm pretty sure I've said multiple times that he should've stopped once he had been told off (which he never was)
No, that's literally what Harlequin is arguing.That's not really fair. He obviously broke the standards. No one is arguing that.
And society also constantly evolves and changes. And it constantly realises that its previous assumptions have been wrong.
Except he now knows how bad the conversation really was, and that she did not try to lead him on, and it was not reciprocated in any way. SO HE NEEDS TO STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS. THAT IS ALL HE NEEDS TO DO. STOP TALKING.
Not to defend what he did, but it's possible he got drunk after the initial batch of stuff. The 5:59am messages are a pretty clear escalation from everything else there. Hell, he might have even thought it was a good idea to go all the way to give himself an alibi.He tried to initiate a bit of late night cybersex. And got no play at all.
That 5.59am message has sunk him though. If he was still 'drunk' then he must be drinking some potent stuff.
oh godThis is the same guy - right? This guy is a world class fucking creeper.

Congrats to you, sir.
At one point in history, society had evolved to a point were treating black people like cattle was considered perfectly fine. At one point in history, society had evolved to a point where just one accusation could get you burned for witchcraft. You see what I'm getting at?
You had the opportunity to make an intelligent, meaningful contribution to this discussion and chose to instead make a joke post. Congrats to you, sir. I'm still going to reply to it, anyway (and yes, I'm going to use gross exaggerations to get my point across).

I'll be honest; I'd be into it. But I also understand that there's people that totally wouldn't be into it and for good reason. And that would be totally ok because that's their feelings. If they felt like they were uncomfortable, that's fine. They've got that right.

He is stating something reasonable... try to shut down unwanted advances instead of just letting the snowball roll into pile of overblown shit.
he isn't saying anything reasonable and if the thing you take away from this situation is "I should teach women how to react in situations and say they aren't victims if they don't follow my exact directions" then you (like Jaffe) are fucking mental.He is stating something reasonable... try to shut down unwanted advances instead of just letting the snowball roll into pile of overblown shit.
I would not blame my kid if someone said something bad to them. I would blame them if same person said something bad to them again
Seriously. And now he's going to get a snowball of shit as people assume the very worst possible motivation behind that tweet.He is stating something reasonable... try to shut down unwanted advances instead of just letting the snowball roll into pile of overblown shit.
The utter lack of reciprocation was her 'shutting them down'. Is that really not crystal clear?He is stating something reasonable... try to shut down unwanted advances instead of just letting the snowball roll into pile of overblown shit.
