Didn't want to post from my main account to avoid any references and trails. It goes beyond just sexual harassment at work. I was accused by my ex wife. Even before any trials or anything: I lost my job, banks, housing and pretty much anything that requires a background check. I fought this for a year, and everything was dropped, because her friend came as witnesses and explained how she and my ex wife planned on set…

How would background check services get hold of this information before trial? Were you arrested? I'm sorry, but based on my experience with these systems, this sounds like a fake story. Even the detail about your bank accounts being closed doesn't add up at all.

Arrest records and charges are public records. Maybe I wasn't very clear about banks - let me try clarify. I lost my house, and it was hard to find place to even rent because of background checks. And ex cashed all money from my saving accounts while I was arrested, since it was shared account, it was totally legal for her to do that. So I have no money, no car, no place to rent - nothing. Tried to open a credit card to get by, banks I tried refused me.

The latter removes any scope for taking circumstances/details into account which is an issue irrespective of gender/age etc (e.g. "believe men" or "believe children" would be equally absurd).

But you just said "believe women" is fine whereas "believe men" or "believe children" is absurd. I don't follow the distinction you're drawing here. They're grammatically equal.

I am saying blanket "believe " is absurd and I do see your point; there isn't much difference.

> In or about June 2022, both Schiestel and Stewart strongly encouraged Olohan to hire only female applicants for an open management position on his team. Not great for Google executives to be doing this.

There will be no consequences for google. We all know this happens. A past suit by a recruiter had emails filed as evidence to the court where recruiters were told to cancel all interviews with candidates who were not women or Black. [1] And yet if you mention this, you're the racist. You're the White nationalist (even though the media celebrates Black nationalism). Even so--they also have lawsuits alleging discrimin…

I don't understand the downvotes. The parent has added relevant information, sourced it, and the source agrees.

Well, honestly, you are pretty ugly!8-))

Does saying things like this make you feel better? Do you think that the world is a better place?

No, but it needed to be said. I could ask you the same question but I'd probably get a less interesting answer.

Oh I dunno, “you’re a mouth breather who makes everything around them worse” is pretty interesting.
