Have a great weekend!

“ Linda Vester, a former NBC correspondent, told The Post that legendary anchor Tom Brokaw made unwanted advances toward her on two occasions in the 1990s, including a forcible attempt to kiss her.”

NBC's long-time mark for honesty and integrity. Oh well. SSDD.

I read that this morning.

My first thoughts were that these cretins started this movement,so I hope they get destroyed by their own creation.LOL

No fan of Tom Brokaw or any part of the MSM, but this ridiculous BS of crazy women bringing up stuff from 2 decades ago has to stop. Very little can be proven and crap like "he tried to kiss me" or was touching me inappropriately after all that time is outlandish. If this is how women believe they can become empowered, they are stupider than I ever imagined.


We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

What if a woman is trying to climb the company ladder? Do you think they would ruin their career/ life over going public? Put yourself in the woman’s heels. I’m sure there were many women forced to suck dick or be fired.

If she's more interested in climbing the corporate ladder than in her self respect, she made a choice. She's better off on welfare than losing her self respect through sexual abuse.

I'm not sure of that. In fact, I do believe it is rare, but does happen. I also believe from time to time women lie about such things to advance their career or get a monetary outcome. There is a huge difference between asked, pressured, or forced. The first two are contingent upon the woman's choice, the latter an obvious crime. Pressured can also be a crime but with mostly a firing outcome for the man. BUT, if any of this is truly an issue for the woman there will not be a decade or more time elapse or I believe it to be a an non-event, and now extortion on the woman's part.

I've been trying to find the movie and actress but it's about corporate shenanigans and ruthless business leaders and so forth.

Anyway, there's a line in it where a high ranking female executive is arguing with someone and he yells at her, "you slept your way to top!"

She yells back at him, "well I'd be a damn poor executive if I slept my way to the bottom!"


Then there's the rule of thumb that if she likes you it's flirting, if she doesn't like you it's sexual harassment, but you won't know until you get a date or a court summons.

That was my point, "tried" to kiss her is assault ? I feel sorry for future generations in the dating world, you'll both need your attorneys to come along on the date, bring contracts for mutual party agreement....then still get sued 10 years later.

Was it "Disclosure" with Demi Moore and Michael Douglas?

Hard to believe how much things have changed from back in the day when women would go to the movies and swoon and fantasize over leading men like Bogart, Errol Flynn, Robert Taylor, etc., etc. jerking their leading ladies around and forcibly kissing them then the leading lady would melt in his embraces.

You'd think by now they'd already be protesting trying to force the movie and TV industry to quit honoring, archiving, airing, and selling CD and video copies of all old films with such themes.

And then there's the paper back so-called "Romance Novels" with even more sexually aggressive themes but women are still buying them up as fast as they hit the store shelves and even on waiting lists.

Found the movie, "Head Office" from 1985, Jane Seymour plays the executive but I can't find a clip of that scene, just the quote which is slightly different than I remembered but the gist is the same.

Bob Nixon: Well, you are just screwing your way to the top, aren't you?
Jane Caldwell: I wouldn't be much of an executive if I screwed my way to the bottom. Would I?
