Vice President Pence was derided and mocked in the media for taking his wife along when attending a dinner with women present. Only an old fashioned, radically religiously, up tight male would do such a thing, right?
My how the worm has turned.
Revelations of bad behavior are pouring into the spotlight at a rapid pace. (How effective has harassment training been given the fact that this has gone on for so long?)
OB/GYN docs resolved to solve this problem long ago. Most have had a female assistant in the room for a few decades now, ever since a few of them were sued for sexual harassment during office exams.
Although it seems a cumbersome practice for meetings in the entertainment, media, and political worlds the practice makes good sense. It would certainly bring a halt to the excessive lapses in morality and ethics that have been exposed recently. It would also protect the innocent!
While I would rather see a return to high standards of comportment in our society I would welcome the practice of a “companion” or “witness” in meetings, at least until future generations of men and women can be trained and retrained.
In the midst of this morality shake up let us not forget the women in positions of power that have abused their positions to prey on their lessors. In 2014 World Net Daily had acquired quite a list of female teachers that sexually abused their students. There are 13 women on the first page alone in the 13 page WND post. Some evidence of harassment by women bosses or coworkers has also been reported recently but these few could easily be just a slice of a much larger harassment pie.
Our nation’s moral compass was destroyed during the era of sixties feminism and the sexual revolution. Political correctness and activism has only added to the problem. It’s difficult to know where the lines of behavior are when men can be accused of harassment for simply giving a compliment and it’s unconscionable that false accusations can destroy the reputations and lives of the innocent.
Mike Pence is a gentleman. He’s also very wise. As such he’s an excellent role model for men, women, and the youngsters out there that might be disgusted with the current state of affairs.
Our moral decline has been going on for years, When I was in high school, “good girls” didn’t mess around and “bad girls” who did dropped out of school to never be heard from again, Today’s pregnant students stay in school and bring their child to school once they’re born.
Even though two people from different genders, usually, were involved the female was the one who wore the scarlet A, not the male. This was even more apparent during the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal. It’s not known even today as the Clinton Scandal. It is known as the Lewinsky Scandal.
Bill and Hillary went on to become members of the most powerful people of the world club, while Monica, like girls from the 60s disappeared and had their lives ruined.
Rush pointed out the other day that the Clinton/Lewinsky affair was a huge contributor to the sexual harassment situations being exposed today in so many different industries and by high profile individuals. Bill got away with a slap on his wrist. He was impeached in the House, but not in the Senate and served out the remainder of his second term.
The message was sent loud and clear to all men and some women in power positions. If the president can get away with it so will the congressman, actor/director, TV show celebrity, etc.
It took decades of harassment cases building up behind a dam of silence before breaking spewing forth just how bad and widespread it had affected our way of life. Learning congress had set up a unknown slush/hush fund after the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal and had spent $17 million of taxpayers money to hide it has shocked and angered people from both sides of the aisle.
The moral decline of our country has crossed the red line and will undergo corrective measures. To what degree will depend on court cases results and the attitude of the public as to what is and isn’t acceptable behavior any more.
