I wonder if our universe is an anomalous region suspended in a spheroid cloud orbiting somebody's nucleus...

That's oddly specific.

Should I stay or should I go?

Enjoying your work and liking the people you work with is very rare. If it's possible, stay where you are, but talk with your boss about your needs. Employment is not enslavement - you have control over the relationship just as much as the boss does. If you stay on thorough the difficult time, you're due a big raise and promotion when the company is through it.

Facebook is really beginning to suck big time!

Yes.

I'm fond of Twitter.

But both are echo chambers.

It sure is a scary time!

Why is this person so angry?

Have you or someone you care about been falsely accused and had your life ruined? Why is this subject so personal to you @BA1 ?

Ten percent is not insignificant.

But for perspective, compare that to the number of sexual attacks that go unreported.

Both shouldn't happen. A victim shouldn't fear reporting and an innocent person shouldn't fear false accusations. So what's the solution that will resolve both?

I'd like to know if any guys here have ever had their lives ruined by a false accusation of ****rape or sexual assault or harassment.

I'm guessing no.

And how many women here have been *****raped or sexually assaulted or harassed? I'm guessing more than half, possibly up to all.

So to me, the concern about false accusations seems unfounded.

It seems to me that until men and women can treat each other as individual people, not as objects to conquest or to ridicule, we're going to have more of the same. How about all women hating men just avoid women, and all man hating women avoid men? Or better yet, women hating men can treat women like men and man hating women can treat men like women.

it will remain as such.

Why?

Isn't the way to end harm to address the harm? Ignoring, denying, covering up only leads to more.

Professions aren't ethical or unethical. People are.

Ok then. Which profession will allow an individual to be successful with the least requirement of violation of ethics?

On another discussion board, people are suggesting teaching, but I'm actually a little skeptical so I came here for a different perspective.

Every time I show up here, you can hear the echo of my posts since I'm the only one here.

We're all just waiting for something to happen.

People, especially men, have forgotten social skills, like dignity and respect.
