Last thing watched on netflix / Amazon..................

[leggo PE]

Hmm, I feel like more people are going public with their accusations because they have a much better chance now, than even one month ago, to be taken seriously because the news has actually started to pay attention to sexual harassment/assault thanks to the #MeToo campaign started by (of course) a celebrity.

Anyway, Netflix? I'm savoring the last few episodes I have of season 3 of the Great British Baking Show... When are seasons 4-6 coming? I want more baking!

House of Cards... that moment when a fictional President is held more accountable than the real President...

 

[Road Guy]

well Obama probably did a lot of bad things that haven't been uncovered yet, but I don't think he tried to fuck a 14 year old..

I agree. I had a friend referring to it as a hollywood fad. I just think they actually feel more comfortable coming forward without fear they would be ostracized. Power in numbers.Good for them.

Mrs. Jbone loves that British baking show btw.

Oh! So they don't have the first three seasons. Hmm, wonder if they'll ever get them.

Just finished Mindhunter.  Not quite sure how I feel about the finale but will definitely be watching S2, whenever it comes out.

Any other recommendations?

We started watching it, but it was a little much for our son to be exposed to, in our opinion, so we stopped after the second episode (he wasn't watching, but we didn't want to risk him walking in on either the graphic sex scenes or the twisted recounting of gruesome, psychotic sexual acts). 

I would have definitely liked to continue watching, though, to see what happens.

If you want a few cheap laughs and appreciate dry humor schitts creek is not necessarily good but I have defin gotten 2-3 chuckles per episode...

Plus it's hard not to like Eugene Levy....

We had a guy at work that was notorious for copping a feel. We mostly all tried to avoid him, but he for sure touched my boob a couple of times. Recently he shoved his hand down the back of a woman's pants and she turned him in. He was angry that he couldn't do that anymore and quit. 

I don't think it's a witch hunt. I think people who have been sexually harassed and/or assaulted are finally coming forward and saying it's not okay. For years we've just laughed it off, because we didn't want to be "that girl" who turned people in. 

I finally started Stranger Things. I feel like I need a whole weekend to just watch the whole thing.

Really?  That's just f'd up.

It is and it's an excellent example of things women have just kept quiet about for years. The guy had worked here for over 50 years (he just turned 80) and we all just swept it under the rug because "he's old school." 

A woman in a male dominated field mostly tries to assimilate and not rock the boat, because it's a constant battle to prove you deserve a seat at the table and won't be a problem. So the guy that insists on uncomfortably front hugging (happened) or kisses your hand (happened) or touches your boob while passing (happened) are all things you "put up with" so no one will label you a problem and you get to engineer for a living.

Well scratch Univ of Wyoming and anything else in So CAL off the daughters college list...

 

[csb]

I'm sure there are some lovely convents she'll be happy attending.

P.S. Make sure to have a talk with your sons about women's bodies aren't there for the touching.

I didn't raise my boys to be liberal Hollywood Democrats, mine are literally Boy Scouts /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20">

but in all reality it is not cool if people are doing that to you, regardless of their age.

When I entered the workforce in 1998 I recall the old guys (probably 50 at the time) that were making comments and always seemed to be doing some level of flirting.. I can honestly say I don't see near as much as that as when I used to...

Engineering Is still mostly male but our office is probably 40% female - so I don't think its all as bleak as where you are at? or at least hope not..

I agree it's not a witch hunt. I know many women including my own wife who have had to put up with that kind of stuff plus blatant sexual assault in the workplace.

now that's taking it a bit to the extreme.  If it weren't for men touching women's bodies we wouldn't be here at all.

We're 19% of the workforce here.
