Hi Toni,

I suppose the more power a bloke has in the workplace, compare to a young woman's, the more he might be tempted to use it. One might have to wait for the woman to make the first preliminary move, a bit of flirting here, a secret smile there, maybe a touch on the arm. Wait, and it might come :). It can be beautiful.

I'm in a singing group, and I was thinking of doing Richard Tauber's 'Girls Were Made to Love and Kiss' for our break-up party, but I'll have to be very careful. What do you reckon, Foxy ? Maybe something a bit more subtle ? Maybe Bononcini's 'Per la Gloria D'Adorarvi' ? Pavarotti did it so well. But I'm bound to forget the words.

Cheers,

Joe

The regressive for decades have told us how harmless pornography is. Now women are being abused everywhere. Very slow learners or else very deceitful. Many of the Trump hating actors in Hollywood showing their true colours.

Dear Foxy,

Or maybe 'Angels Guard Thee' as sung by Sir John McCormack, and Sir Kenneth McKellar. A truly beautiful song. Have a listen on Youtube.

Love,

Joe

I guess the entertainment industry is something else. However while there may be the occasional problem person, male or female encountered anywhere in life, grotty behaviour has always been given short shrift in workplaces with responsible, principled, leadership - which is not uncommon. Where the leadership is 'off' the mark there are other problems as well, viability of the business for instance, so move!

"Looking for love? Try the office! Relationships that begin in the workplace most likely to result in marriage

Couples who met at work were most likely to marry
Meeting through friends also resulted in long term love
By contrast, those who met at the pub tended to have flings
Short term romances were also likely for those meeting on holiday

Those who meet after locking eyes over the water cooler are more likely to enjoy long lasting love, new research has revealed.

Despite discouragement from companies and colleagues, office romances are more likely end in marriage than relationships that start in any other way - even meeting through friends.

By contrast, relationships begun in a nightclub or pub almost always end in either a fling or a one-night stand."

The Sexual Harassment Industry (SHI) is intended to be a growth industry for some and the main beneficiary of that would be the empire building Australian Human Rights Commission.

Back to more outrageous 'statistics'(sic) and the disgraceful sloppy 'science'(sic) of feminists. Paid for by the exasperated Aussie taxpayer.

Just wait for the faux 'Progressive' SJWs and the Gravy Train to take advantage of any incoming Labor administration in Canberra, the Budget blow-outs and new taxes, for example the death duties that the innumerate Greens have been spruiking for years and the CGT on the main residence that Labor is eyeing.

Dear Joe,

There are many romantic ballads and we all have our
favourites. Andre Rieu has made a career out of
them and so have many others. And of course there are
many workplace relationships that have developed into
marriages. We're not talking about any of these. Or of
men behaving decently.

What we're talking about here is the trivialisation
of abuse and violence against women, and the culture
that perpetuates it. It is not good enough to brush
aside lewd, demeaning, inappropriate, comments and suggestions
as simply - "banter" or "blokes being blokes".

Not when - language becomes the weaponry of words that
trivialises abuse and violence against women, and a
culture that perpetuates it.

Violence against women sadly encompasses more than women
being murdered every week. It's much more than countless
acts of repeated physical and sexual abuse. And needs to be
taken seriously not trivialised or excused.
