I bet there are hundreds of men who are thinking they are on the chopping block.

Guys walking around with a knot in their stomach thinking that at anytime, women and or men will come forward and expose their sordid past and turn their life upside down.

I don't have much sympathy for them.

probably have good reason to be anxious. Let them sweat, I say. It might do some good.

It is about time they had to walk around with an uncomfortable feeling in their stomachs. I and most women I know would be happy to be rid of that.

...Don't think for one minute that all sexual improprieties are caused by men. They aren't. While it appears the majority involve men, that does not mean that there aren't some women that aren't just as guilty.

I am a relatively good looking, masculine, 6'1" Kinsey SIX Gay man. I have NO INTEREST in females for sex. None, and never had. You would not believe how many times I've been propositioned by women "wanting to change me," "you just need a real woman," or some other shit like that. In my clubbing days, I've been groped by men AND BY WOMEN.

15 years ago, I lived in Los Angeles and worked for a national financial company. The Manager of the Los Angeles operation was a very attractive, blond, early 30s woman. She had approximately 15 people reporting to her, most of them men. It was common knowledge that "Sue" put the hustle on the younger, more attractive males that reported to her, letting them know that she had the power to make their career or kill it. One of the guys --Sean-- handsome, well-built and nice as could be, was fresh out of college, very much in love with his fiance and no desire to bed "Sue." His career suffered for it. He ended up leaving our company because of her frequent harassment. When he reported the incidences to the male manager over Sue, he was pretty much told to "deal with it." Grin, grin, chuckle, chuckle.

IT'S. NOT. ALL. MEN.
