Wow, the funny thing about that scenario is that the only one doing any harassing was the receptionist herself, based on the description you provided.
Au, contraire! Don't you see? She is a woman. I am a man. Therefore, she was the victim, and I am the no good, dirty scumbag who was making her life a living Hell!

I believe it, too. I've known enough psychotic nutbags to know some people (mostly women in this case) just love - absolutely LOVE - causing drama. It's nothing to them to concoct a big story for them to cry over, be patted and petted with sympathy - then smile with evil glee as the innocent patsy is kicked out in shame. Yes, the plan worked perfectly - she was rewarded and some sucker she doesn't care about got hurt. She won't feel bad - he must've done something to someone to deserve being punished anyway... or maybe he looked at her funny once and she didn't like it, thus painful revenge was called for.
Yes... Life is good for the drama-llama.

...she threatened to hurt herself and then tell the cops that he beat her if he tried to leave. Those of you who know anything about NZ know that men are pretty much guilty until proven innocent in these kind of affairs so it was a serious threat. Believe it or not, this kind of sh** is not just "victim blaming". Bearing false witness is as old as the Ten Commandments, you'd be a goddamn fool to think that some maliciously-minded women don't exploit the system to their advantage.

The idea of a workplace I have now is a ghastly place where women are always right and men always wrong unless there is heavy evidence on the contrary. I wonder whether that is true, and if it is, to what extent.
one post by itself wouldn't really have a big effect in a thread, but the effect of all of them together has quite the effect. everyone knows that some people can be manipulative or evil - that is no mystery. but over and over again in this forum... it is contributing to the general sense in this area of the forum that there is some kind of need to push the agenda of just how horrible women supposedly are.
a couple of these posts are what aspiesandra27 was reacting to, and the reaction she got ranged from someone telling her she was having a bad day to this:

your post seems like a drunken rant, and i am comfortable in my assumption that it is not related to what i posted,
alcohol makes many people say things that they can not justify in the cold light of the next day.

yes, there were some caveats added to the posts above ("some" women), but the bulk of the thread has such negativity i am going to put it out to pasture. thread locked.
p.s. mds_02, i looked for this in case it violated the rules:

I've seen one person phrase their argument as though they believed all men were going around looking for excuses to harrass women.
the member didn't actually say that, and i couldn't find an implication hidden in his words.
also, in case you wondered, it does not violate the rules for members to question the veracity of a person's story. in The Haven it would definitely be treated differently from here, though. to some people, the story defied all reason, and to others it was reasonable. i think it may be partly due to who the members identified with because of their own personal experiences. the fact that you thought your own experience was similar did not lend his story any credibility in their eyes.
