Thanks for the explanation but I'm really not sure it was a very appropriate analogy in any context. Seriously !!!!!! dude??

Go on, report my post


I've resigned myself to the fact that when I type certain words on this forum (irrespective of what I MEAN or what I THINK) I am facing a ban.


I really wish people would listen though! I'm not supporting rape, I'm not supporting OP having confidential information spread around the workplace, I'm not supporting them being MARGINALISED because they decide to report it to their bosses.


That's it. Aside from the fact that "boss spreading confidential information around the workplace" isn't as popular as the #MeToo campaign so I have to make an extreme comparison to try (and usually fail) to compel people to care more than 1 iota about it.


I failed on this occasion

Nobody said you're supporting it. It just seemed a little inappropriate that's all. Don't worry about me reporting it. I can't be the only one who thought "OK, poor taste alert" and cringed?

Perhaps a slightly more fitting analagy to the thread might have been a wiser choice.

I'm astonished that the only possible other analogy to a "he said, she said" scenario is thought to be rape. Managers denying what they are accused of and managers backing other managers is a fairly standard daily occurrence!

^^^agreed. I still can't work out how it was even thought to be a like for like analogy.


Yikes.

I understood what you meant - you weren't comparing the incident to rape, but the attitude of 'are you sure it wasn't something else, or your fault, or you're misreading it'.

You could have applied the 'cup of tea' story to the response to the OP just as well as it's applied to rape.

As someone with experience of rape, I didn't take offence.
