 [quote]On another note, these private schools need  to increase the number of counselors. The ratio is just too high. [/quote]
Lecturing people about ethics while adopting an openly misogynistic tone. Well played![/quote]

New poster.  "Honey" is not misogynistic.  It's condescending -- probably deliberately used that way -- and can be applied to either sex, male or female.   :roll: [/quote]
Of course it is... just as calling someone "boy" is meant to invoke racial imagery, using "honey" as a condescending expression is meant to invoke the stereotype of the uneducated and helpless female, whether it's directed at a male or female.

If directed towards a male, it's not really different to saying to a straight person that their dump POV is "gay."

So, yes, it's misogynistic. Incidentally, the US government calls it out as an example of sexual harassment: https://www.doi.gov/pmb/eeo/Sexual-Harassment[/quote]

Per that link, Biden is in deeeeep trouble.

"Examples of Sexual Harassment
Any of these elements may constitute sexual harassment or discrimination. These examples are not meant to be all inclusive.

Physical contact
Squeezing a worker's shoulders or putting a hand around his or her waist..."[/quote]

Thanks for posting, Sen. Gillibrand.  Your tactics may have worked with Al Franken, but it won’t work with Biden.  America now sees you for the craven hypocrite that you are.  Trump was perhaps right about one thing:  you will do anything for money and to get ahead in politics.  You’re a loser.[/quote]

Honey, that's what the US government says.

I agree, it's way overboard, and can't wait for Trump to deregulate this too so that my esteemed friend Joe can keep squeezing our shoulders in his lovely fashion and also telling those fun off-color jokes (also considered to be sexual harassment down in the list).

Honey, I’ve put my hands on my colleagues’ shoulders - to praise, comfort, bond. I’m female and have done this with both male and female colleagues. Calling it sexual harassment is what morons in government with no common sense call it. [/quote]

np:  Honey, being blind to the fact that quite a few people don’t want to be touched that way in a work setting is obtuse and disrespectful to your colleagues.

Generally, I think intent is a big part of how an action is perceived, but just because you think being handsy is warm, not everyone agrees.  Now that is common sense.[/quote]
