2. Correct: prove it in a court of law

before crucifying someone
and until the Moronic Idiot is held accountable.

3. See who shows up & who backs out.

We'll see who the Moronic Idiot really is.

4. Yes, a fair and open investigation

that treats all with respect.

5. He said,she said

And any man can flirt or react to a flirt and he’s doomed.

6. Depends on the flirt.

A lot of men flirt inappropriately and in a way that makes women uncomfortable. That’s not ok. However, I won’t crucify Cuomo until the investigation is complete.

7. It's such a blurred line.

How does one flirt “ appropriately” ?

It’s impossible to define because even an innocent flirt can lead to a man being accused of sexual harassment .

8. Well, for starters, don't flirt with your colleagues while at work.

9. The world we live in.

Ok

10. More succinctly, don't flirt with your subordinates

EVER. Cuomo is over 25 years older than Boylan. He is almost 40 years older than Bennett. Why is it not okay for a boss to "flirt" with a subordinate? Because they can't tell him to fuck off and die without fearing they'll lose their jobs and no they do not need to "nicely" refuse his offer, because sexual harassment isn't nice.

17. I don't understand what age has to do with it.

But I agree with the rest of your post.

12. My husband and I were colleagues before we married

He flirted with me until I said I'd go out on a date with him. This was in the 1990s though.

15. It's not too late to file a complaint with thr EEOC

Just joking

[liberal_mama]

16. LOL, I wish I could still file a complaint! Our marriage has been a disaster!

11. I have 2 sons and I worry about how they will find girlfriends now without being accused

of harassment for a harmless flirt. When I was young and single, older men flirted with me just like Andrew Cuomo allegedly did with the 2nd accuser. I know times have changed a lot.

13. You can't flirt with people you can fire

I mean, that just isn't right. I don't think that is an unreasonable rule. He is an attractive man who has a multitude of ways to find dates, hitting up his subordinates shouldn't be one of them.

18. You're right. Such a shame

That the entire dating pool is comprised only of younger subordinates.

You're doing great, Rusty.
