Question for the men: This is serious, not bait: Wondering what you're hearing.

30. This is what I anticipated - what you have articulated.

When it comes to the powerful taking advantage of the weak - hang them or do what has to be done to make the situation right, but let there be some due process.

One - how is it possible that only men have been the sexual predators, are you telling me that there has never been a woman that has taken advantage of a man and in some cases another woman?

Two - some interpersonal activities took place years ago - what was the cultural norm at that time?

Three - your comment about misunderstanding or incorrect interpretations of signals sent and/or received, should a person be condemned due to misunderstanding.

Someone commented men are just sexual, guess what, so are some women. Now I find it interesting that females remember everything from years ago (and as relationships change, so do our recollections of events) but have you heard from men. Yes, men have been petted on the butt, kissed without permission - but you know the different - we ignore it, say no, and get on with our lives. But I concede that we are not living under some physical threat by women for the most part.

I honestly feel that there is going to be some blowback - and it is going to be ugly, because we are not discussing these issues and how to resolve them, we are destroying people.

Professionally, I would not mentor nor train a woman. Sadly, if she fails to perform (and it happens for both men and women) - she can attribute her failure to how she might choose to perceive her shortcomings, and it can become a male/female issue. And all of us know, this happens.

I don’t disagree that there are men that take advantage of their positions, power and just their ability to intimidate - and that should be addressed. But look in the mirror, there are some females that use their sexuality to promote, obtain and acquire - and we all have seen that. And when it blows up - as happens - are we dealing with a victim or a willing partner in the game of sex?

Ugly situation...
