The guy on the book cover looks like he is a) reading cue cards while trying to fondle the coed or b) having some sort of episode while trying to fondle said coed.

We were all required to watch it at work already, so eh.

I could almost see someone slipping the original in as a workplace training video.

Which reminds me of the time in sixth grade when we were studying the circulatory system, so our teacher ordered an educational film for us - "The Way to a Man's Heart." The content was a little different from what she had expected. (She didn't prescreen it before showing it to us.)

Thank God editorial policy keeps them from commenting here thus preventing a flood of them from swamping your comment with mansplanations about how men getting raped is at least as common as women getting raped. Seriously, I've seen this happen. My stomach still hasn't recovered.

It's just a standard part of the new employee orientation at Wonket.

ETA: Guess I should've checked the front page before commenting.

Very subtle, given that insisting that consent is required prior to sexual acts is very much a form of "controlling their own bodies".

Well, <i>that's nice,</i> Conservatives.

My question is what does a thinktank called the "Competitive Enterprise Institute" have fuck all to do with sexual harassment in the first place??

Talking about your cock to ladies, and Koch-speech* really ARE THE SAME THING.

<i>Similar directives go back into previous administrations, so, once again, the battle is not about a personality (even a powerful one such as Obama) ...</i>

What kind of revisionist nonsense is this? <i>Nothing</i> bad ever happened in previous administrations, so <i>all</i> evil is due to Obama. I mean, everybody knows this!

This reminds me that "<a href="http:\/\/www.rawstory.com\/rs\/2013\/02\/06\/if-consent-was-really-that-hard-whiny-dudes-would-fail-at-every-aspect-of-life\/" target="_blank">if consent was really that hard, whiny dudes would fail at every aspect of life</a>".

Sounds like somebody could use <a href="http:\/\/www.rawstory.com\/rs\/2013\/03\/29\/how-to-ask-someone-out-a-primer-for-people-who-pretend-not-to-know\/" target="_blank">a primer</a> on how to not be all harassy.

I don't have this problem because I've already decided nobody at my work that I'd want to have sexytime with would want to also have ot with me, so any sexual advances would be a waste of time. I am pretty sure the same thing would be the case if I was on a college campus with girls half my age and have to compete with younger, more fit guys who still have all their hair.

Having said that...Good thing I already have a girlfriend because I don't like my chances of finding one from scratch.

There was no drift into full-blown ODS, and it was not gradual. The helter-skelter descent into full-blown ODS was complete by January 21st, 2009 at the latest.

It's the driving out of any remaining ability to form a sentence expressing a thought that's been gradual.

Proven by the fact that after failing to investigate in the slightest, they had no evidence that a rape had taken place.
