[webfact]

 

MOVE FORWARD MP Chaiyamparvaan Manpianjit who is facing allegations of sexual harassment apologised to the public  today (Nov. 3) but refused to resign from the party while trying to debunk the charges levelled against him, Naewna newspaper said.

 

Chaiyamparvaan, nicknamed Pu-ad and representing Bangkok, said he accepted the party’s resolution whereby 106 of 128 MPs and executive committee members attending the meeting on Wednesday evening had voted to expel him but this is short of 116 required to do so.

 

However another MP, Mr. Wutthiphong Thonglour,  an MP from Prachinburi, was expelled by a vote of 120.

It's a genetic thing like fleeing the scene of an accident.  Very few Thais ever step up, accept their guilt and do the right thing.

The man has no shame or morale compass... he expects to turn up at the office Monday morning and all will be forgotten.

While some accusations of sexual harassment are totally valid, there needs to be some burden of proof, it is simply not enough for a woman to say it happened, there needs to be some proof. Videos, recorded conversations, etc. For a woman to just simply say he touched me and made me feel uncomfortable, what does that really mean? Where did he touch you, how did he touch you, did he just touch your shoulders, are you being overly sensitive, what's really going on here? 

 

With the uber PC movement that's going on right now, careers are ruined over one statement from a woman. Is there a possibility that she has an agenda? Of course there is.

Yes a balance is needed, although let us not require 4 witnesses as per a certain religion.

Post of the year probably. Agree with every word.

Although there are certainly some credible allegations that have materialized, since the whole Weinstein scandal broke, there are also alot of opportunists who have used this as a pretext for their agendas. Let's face it. Women have been using their femininity to get ahead for millennium. And there is nothing wrong with that. We use what we have to work with. But, the burden of proof is so minor these days, and reputations and lives can be shattered with one allegation. The system must work to establish a burden of proof on the accuser, and must set the bar higher than it currently is. The histrionics from some members of the movement, like Rosie O'Donnell, and especially the hysterical Minnie Driver, have been too much. When Matt Damon spoke out, and defended George Bush Sr. for patting a woman lightly on the butt, she excoriated him. When Damon had the audacity to say there is a big difference between patting a woman on the butt, and rape, she screamed no. It is about the same thing. Come on. There have to be limits. It is not the same thing!

 

The idea of sexual harassment in the US, has passed all reasonable boundaries. When Matt Damon recently came out and stated that there was a big difference between a little pat on the butt, and forceful rape, he was nearly crucified by some women in Hollywood, (especially the shrill, elderly, and way, way, way past the sell by date) Minnie Driver. That alone demonstrated to the most reasonable mind, how far out of control this "war on men" has gone. It is beyond ridiculous. It is petty, silly, surly, and just plain old dumb. Not to say there are not men who deserve it. But, a pat on the butt, or a man putting his hand on a woman's thigh, when they are engaged in a friendly conversation is NOT the same as rape and does not constitute sexual harassment. And yes, I would feel the same way if it happened to my daughter. Give me a break. This whole situation is stupid. American men have been emasculated already. Now, it is getting so extreme, pretty soon it might be illegal to even possess a male organ in the US.

 

So, I propose this. When a woman accuses a man of "sexual harassment" the burden of proof lies on her. She has to demonstrate some evidence. Otherwise, it is he said, she said. And in the US, she said always wins out.
