Who did Matt Lauer grope?
 

OK, let's hear the theories! :eek:

Please don't let it be AL Roker.

I was thinking he might go either way.

Maybe Caitlyn Jenner!:eek:

you know I get the impression that Al Roker is the kind of guy who'd be like 'hey man, I'm not into that but good luck to you' and just move on.

I started a thread on this over in PARF...

When do we start seeing men accusing women of inappropriate conduct? Or, would we never complain?

Classic double standard

maybe soon. the days of power stemming from physical strength and manliness (slay the tiger and bring home the meat) are ending and it's entirely possible for men to be on the receiving end of abuse. the skinny jeans douche beard types are coming into power and things might change!

My wife just calmly suggested that someone might come forward and accuse me following my 35 year career of philandering in the paper industry. Ha ha :D

Believe me, I was an altar boy to the best of my recollection.

One of the young men that frequent the cigar lounge I go to is one of the least aggressive, and least macho guys I have ever met. One day I mentioned to him about what a nice guy he comes off as and he tells me this is one of the reasons the car dealership gave him a shot at selling cars, his non-threatening persona.

We had quite the conversation about this trend, and I am convinced the "slay the tiger and bring home the meat" era is over in many circles, but not everyone is ready for it.

Macho is fighting back and making it's last stand in some very high profile areas, but it's a last gasp I suspect.

This has been an on-going discussion with my wife.

A few points:

1. Sexual Harassment is not just men of women - We had a woman -> man case at GE.
2. Sometimes the "power role" is not obvious. A woman can sleep with a married guy and now have "leverage" over him. (I'll tell your wife).
3. Many companies are ultra-anti-sexual harassment. Accusation is believed 100% with no evidence. You cannot get legal counsel.
4. You cannot confront the accused. Many times, the accuser is kept anonymous, supposedly to prevent retaliation.
5. He said/she said - without direct evidence (e-mails, photos, video), there most of the time is he said/she said.
6. The standard is not objective, but simply, "X feels offended".

Libs are cleaning house. we need to get rid of that creep Moore.

I just went to "Gabes" last night for some vacation clothes for our upcoming trip to Dominican Republic. I get there, and see nothing but a bunch of bearded wonders scouring the clearance racks with their backpacks in tow. I needed some nice khaki long pants, and had to try on 6 pairs before I found a nice pair that didn't hug my legs like skinny jeans do....Arghhh.

You may be correct so long as we abide by the rule of law which is also emitting a death rattle with every breath.

All is not lost on the bearded skinny jean wearing douchebags. A guy texted me yesterday morning asking about an 8 HP chipper/shredder that I had on Craigslist, and I was impressed that he actually followed through, showed up, and bought it. He was mid/late 20s, had played college football, lived on a farm, was buying the chipper to help clear his deer hunting feed lot, had a really strong work ethic (like mine), and a general contempt (like mine) of the way his generation was headed.

I could NEVER run for public office. :(

Got disciplined, week home without pay, and had to go to counciling (was almost fired) because in discussing a medical procedure with our HR person that handles our medical information I said I had to sign a document to receive a skin graft because it was made from foreskin. HR said I said they stuffed dead baby penises in my wound. And that it was sexual harassment?

I now have the attitude of F them all the sob bustards/bustardettes.

In 35+ years of work I've never had an issue.

What I have seen several times is HR departments distort something beyond belief!

I'm also convinced that they do things to justify their existence.
A HR department is an expensive thing & I've seen a lot of their services off shored recently.

Imagine calling an Indian help desk to make an inquiry about your pay! That's becoming the norm.

Supposedly he sexually assaulted someone at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

My buddy at work got put thru the ringer 15 yrs ago. I was a witness. 4 of us are in the break room. One newspaper to share, a female reading it. My buddy is standing behind her her reading over her shoulder as she sits at the table.

Weeks later, she is offended. Said he was looking at her tits........It was all a crock to pass him over for a promotion.

We relish in inappropriate conduct when it comes to females.

True story. My niece is a high degree black belt in judo. Her husband lives in fear. It’s really sad.

I sexually harass my wife on a daily basis. Keeps me away from the homely women at ups.

wow amazed Matt gone instantly.
whats next for him? politics.

Considering the treatment afforded women in sexual harassment cases, I say it's time men turn the tables and start making accusations about women in the workplace, especially since women are taking so many high-level, high-paying positions.

My wife is going through this now. I posted about here:

After ignoring her reports HR is finally investigating it. If they don't do anything we'll be hiring an attorney.

at work we should be acting like professionals. that's independent of our gender.

no groping in either direction. if Lauer acted inappropriately..good riddance. i wouldnt want a superior groping my junk.

yeah dont get your meat where you get your bread.

hahaha..

I liked this guy. He is as smart as a whip.

Crap.

His version of going for the gold ! :D

Man, everybody knows what happens in Sochi, stays in Sochi.

Just sayin'

Maybe it was Ellen...I hear he is one of her most frequent guests on her show.

Didja ever think it was...and God forbid Hillary?

Is that anything like don't shyte where you eat?

Don't dip your pen in the company ink.

My parents tought me respect women. I have two sisters whom I dearly love. One older, one younger. I always looked out for my younger sister, especially when she was in H.S. going out on dates. I used to tease her about guys trying to get past second base with her, and she said it never happened. When she said "NO", it meant NO. Don't know whats going on with the Matt Lauers of the world, must be money and fame gives them special dispensation to feel like they can do whatever they want around women with no consequences. I guess being a gentleman today is becoming somewhat passe.

Who did Matt Lauer grope?

Maybe he was caught talking about groping someone. No?

Read: I expect that there's a lot more there than groping.

his desk had a button where he could lock his office door.
for what like a panic room?
