Forums - General Discussion - 2017 Year of Sexual Harassment

So I could list a bunch of people that have been busted recently which I may end up doing in the op but I just wanted to say what the fuck is going on.  I suppose people let shit go to their head and believe they can behave however they want to because of power.  So how some of the "mighty" have fallen.  Louis CK movie was cancelled straight up and his career pretty much finished.  Apparently there was a masturbation scene in the movie which would have made it pretty weird to see after recent revelations.  I never really liked him too much anyways considering I'm more of a Ron White or Dave Chappelle type of humor. 

Anyways, let's all keep our sexual encounters consensual!

They can all have movies than. 



Media is milking that topic as much as possible. That is in my opinion the main reason why we hear about it the whole time.

Generally, the problem of sexual harassment has to be addressed and we as a society need to find solutions that victims get the help they need and prevention that sexual predators cant harm anyone anymore.

Not having harassed anyone nor ever being harassed myself, I feel left out.

I mean, technically the sexual harassments are mostly older ones, they're just being revealed this year. So... the year of sexual harassment revelations?

That's why I actually take the position of that they should have spoken up years ago.  They could have prevented it from happening again.  It sounds harsh but it is the truth.  I suppose they were afraid or suppressed.

I totally agree with your opinion.

Normally, there are people that are not directly involved but know about the incident. Those confidants should take actions and report it and not act like it is not their business. Their omission can lead to new sexual harassments with old/new victims. 



No every year has been a year of sexual harrassment.

This year is just the year when a bit of it got brought to the surface.



I LOVE ICELAND!

A few weeks ago here in Belgium, this stuff about sexual harassment suddenly became huge because a very popular actor and show host was accused & fired. The internet and the media went crazy, there were very heavy discussions about it (a lot of people are saying that the accusers are lying).

Sexual harassment is a difficult subject, since there's often no evidence of it. I assume that the vast majority of accusations against harassers is real, but it's also not unlikely that some of them are lying or exaggerating, especially now with this #metoo trend.
