When are we going to hear of a female anchor person fired for sexual misconduct?

Female anchor people tend not to have their brains in their pants.

“When it’s “he said/she said,” the woman can’t win. But when it’s “he said/she said/she said/she said/she said/she said,” transparency has a chance, and light can flood the places where abusive behavior thrives.” 
― Melinda Gates, The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World

 

Great to see changes happening and seeing individuals being called out for what they are...predators.

Excellent news guy , Faux is an Entertainment Channel , Not for News , my god 

OMG! I couldn't find anything on google (not surprising) on Faux!

I did find Fox News from a liberal source, Variety ,imagine that!

as number 5  in ratings compared to CNN which is 22!

 "Fox News, meanwhile, weathered controversy to end the year as TV’s No. 5 network and most-watched cable outlet, with a slight 1% growth".

What a frightening thought...any woman with whom you have worked and shared conversation over coffee...can decide to take you down at any time...

 

Women are almost always believed...can turn on the tears in an instant...play the frail female card when it suits them...

 

Good Luck Ed!

 

"Women are almost always believed..."

You mean like the Cavanaugh- accusers?

The Trump- accusers?

The Cosby- accusers?

 

All they had to do was say the word and they were believed right away!

Right?!

Wonder how much they will pay her.  Last one got what, over 10 million?

 

It is such a hypocrisy.  There were some females on one of their shows recently laughing and talking about Chippendales male strippers.  They even showed a photo of one dude.

Can you imagine the backlash if guys were talking about going to a strip club and they showed a photo of one of the girls?

They would all be immediately fired.

 

I am so glad I am here and not exposed to that nonsense any longer.

Compared to Thai girls, I think US women are much bigger manipulators.  And, they mostly use sex as a game or tool.  Terrible..

Are you joking?

Why should anyone be fired for going to a strip club?

Unless he was making a clown out of himself in the company's name or it is company policy to not allow the distribution of erotic- material on their premise...why would anyone be fired for something like talking about the last night out?

 

And USwomen are more manipulative than Thai girls?

Did you arrive yesterday?

watch tv or movies you might see that there is quite a DOUBLE STANDARD  regarding what one sex can do or say regarding the other.        

Watch tv or movies? That’s your source of evidence...dear lord.

 

try to follow the train of thought, sir.    no talk of evidence in my post.   but the MEDIA is a great source

to evaluate and compare what is going on in society.   double standards and hypocracy is rampant...

Come to think of it,  i think that is evidence that the field is not level .    

but if dear lord is your response,  so be it

Yes, better to get your "news" from the bastions of truth and virtue that are CNN, MSNBC, The NY Times, Washington Post etc. Guess you still believe the Russia Collusion hoax then ?? ???? ????

"willful sexual misconduct"

What the <deleted> does that mean? If it was wilful I suppose it was by consent. If she was a co worker I assume she was not a minor or under the age of consent. How many "years ago" ? 2? 5? 10?? If a guy has sex with a woman, how long does he have to lose sleep over it worrying she might wanna joined the me too movement? It is now dangerous to give a compliment to a woman in the west.

Anything you say might be used against you in a court of law or the court of social media as sexual harassment. I'm not a chauvinist, but all this feminist bs should stop, and the sooner the better

Just come on the news that Sky Sports....has banned the word Nitty -Gritty

 

Nitty gritty' on Sky Sports' banned list of words due to supposed links to slavery

 

Today 'nitty-gritty' is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as meaning:

'The fundamentals, realities or basic facts of a situation or subject. The heart of the matter.'

Henry was suspended on the day of the complaint and was fired based on "investigative findings,"

I guess they feel there was a case to answer.......its hard to comment until the full report comes out.

But if its nothing--then I guess, being America he would be suing them .

And now for the answer.  The French colonists called the African slaves and creoles 'la population nigritique'. So to get down to the 'nitty gritty' as the English speakers pronounced it was to mix with the people downtown. The standard dictionaries are coy about this derivation.

Whilst this maybe an answer, it is certainly not the answer. It has also been said it refers to grit and debris at the bottom of ships. However, the actual origin of the phrase is unknown and the first documented use of it was in the 1950's, so it is therefore extremely unlikely that it was ever used during the years of slavery.

Life is simple in the workplace for American men: Keep your head(s) down and wait for a woman to select you, based on your 25-year-old body or your obvious wealth. Any other course of action - in or out of the workplace - could result in unemployment, bankruptcy, and or jail.

So this guy was fired after being investigated, sounds like he was guilty.

   Seems like quite a few men have gone away in disgrace in the last

several years. Movie Stars, actors, singers, rich people, and lots

of others.  Good!  Glad they got their come uppings.

Even if they like you one day and encourage a relationship, they can make you an enemy the next day for absolutely sod all. Experienced that a few times.

Lawsuit Against Fox News Alleges Harassment From Anchors, Sexual Assault From Ed Henry

 

One former Fox News staffer and one frequent on-air guest at the network filed suit in federal court Monday, alleging they had been harassed individually by Ed Henry, the Fox News anchor who was fired by the cable-news outlet earlier this month following a complaint about “willful sexual misconduct in the workplace,” and their disclosures threaten to revive an era that the Fox Corp.-owned media company had hoped to put behind it after the ouster of Roger Ailes.

From the article...

 

[The suit also alleges harassment by some of Fox News’ best known anchors, including Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Howard Kurtz, along with a contributor, Gianno Caldwell.]

 

If Carlson and Hannity can go the way of Bill O'Reilly, that would be poetic justice.
