sorry to the mods, who work hard....and i respect your dedication..but i am going to launch a personal inslut.
if you think this is indicative of sexual harassment, you are a fucking idiot. period. if you think that, it's time to grow up, Bender.
I'm sorry too if someone chooses to ban themselves...will always feel that way.
I'm also sorry because...what Glenn Beck said was the definition of sexual harassment.
Many women won't take offense...but it wasn't appropriate to speak to her that way. The reverse is also true if it's a woman to a man. The look on her face spoke volumes. Hopefully he has apologized to her.
Keep it within the guidelines, or should I call you a name too?
I wonder, would he have said the same thing to a male...?
methinks, no...thus, it can be seen as sexual harassment...IMO...
You can't use that standard alone as an absolute comparison.
For example, athletes do the "pat on the butt" thing as a "good effort!" gesture. So, based on your reasoning, it's perfectly acceptable for me to run around patting chicks on their asses if I think they tried hard.

nicely spun...
I'll ask again: I wonder, would he have said the same thing to a male...?
as for guys patting each other on the butt, what does that have to do with beck's comments...?

absolutely nothing. i was just saying that alone can't be used as the standard. i didn't see the show so i have no comment on it. i wonder how many others on here are commenting on the show without seeing it.
ledvedderman - not really, but i truly support your enthusiasm!

actually, that is exactly the standard used to analyze title vii sex discrimination cases. to some extent there is allowance for different contexts. you can pat somebody in the locker room on the ass but not your secretary. however, language like that is inherently sexual harassment. i've spent this entire semester studying title ix and title vii. his comments are legally clearly sexual harassment. granted, they were mild harassment and i dont think it's a huge deal. but it does make him look like a jackass on national tv and it was far more awkward and uncomfortable than funny.
I finally watched this for the first time. Now, I cant stand Beck. I think he's annoying and I disagree with him on probably ever issue but this left me with two thoughts.
First off...who cares? He was trying to be flirty and if that chick was cool she would've gone with it a little bit just to be cool and make it less awkward. She's a stuck up B.
Secondly. All of you making a big deal out of it, what if it was Bill Maher or Jon Stewart? You'd have a different opinion.
As much as I'd love to blast this guy come'on. He's a guy.

yeah, if women want to be cool they should stop turning men down. if a boss tells her to sleep with him or quit her job, she should just go with it to make things less awkward :rolleyes:
no, if bill maher had done this, id be equally critical. jon stewart less so, becos people know his show is a joke and would expect a light ribbing. more importantly, jon stewart wouldn't say something like that becos he has class.

I'm not saying she should've done it but she could've at least laughed it off. I don't think he was being serious. She should've just chalked it up to a stupid joke which is all it was.
