[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a male, I cannot fathom the kind of things these guys are said to have done to multiple women.  I understand why women are now rising in anger and demanding justice.  Hope heads roll!   You guys should have kneed those jerks in the nuts when you had the chance..

As a senior who was laid off in my early 50s and can never really get back to where I was professionally or financially, I carry a lot of anger and sadness similar to what you must as well.  You may say it is not the same, but it is.  Who will deal with my issues?  These is not going to be a senior uprising to take care of everyone who was fired after 40..[/quote]

You are a white male and will never be considered to be a "protected class". Get a sex change and you might stand a chance.[/quote]

I don't want to be a "protected" class just like most women don't want to be a protected class.  All they are asking for is equality much like I am.  Me personally, I'm reasonably well-off and will not go hungry.  There are several other old people, most from the so called protected classes - minorities, women, etc - that can't get a job after a certain age and have no savings.  Who's doing anything for them?

I am a woman in the same position because of sexual harassment.  I will never recover financially and will never get back on career track.  Recent revelations make me happy in one sense that women are speaking out and being heard, but firing perpetrators is not the same as giving opportunities to the women whose lives got off track due to harassment.

When NBC gives the morning anchor chair back to Anne Curry and publicly supports her to be successful, then I will feel better.  When all people - men and women - can jump on and off career paths regardless of age, then I will feel happy that sexual predators will bo longer be able to use their positions of power and success to make or break others.[/quote]
