I wonder if any woman in this forum have ever never experienced sexual harassment at work in her life. I feel like it's rampant, but men knows how to pick their target too, they tend to pick the more timid mousy women, who will just resign quietly.
The thing is, I have seen it happen both ways in my previous job.
The boss I used to work for is a bad tempered dude who used to love firing people on the smallest mistake. But the interesting thing is, he was also the best boss in the world to me, and never once has he raised his voice at me or scolded me, even when I make mistakes or fuck up, he comforts me instead. I can only explain it through, our horoscope matches perfectly, every single man of his horoscope were ferocious men that I have met in my life but became gentle kittens when dealing with me. My grandfather was one and well, I had reoccuring patterns. Infact when I left his employment to pursue my other interests in life, I was telling my replacement how wonderful he is, and she got fired within 2 weeks and told me, that he was the most horrible person she ever met, he kept screaming and shouting at her for every little mistake. And it's like..., okay...., I swear...., I never experienced that from him ever.
But because of the way he screams and go crazy and just fires people, female employees have retaliated by accusing him of sexually harassing them, and when they refused, that's why they got fired.
Because of after a few incidents, my boss ALWAYS insisted that I will always be in the room, there will never be a one on one close door meeting ever, whenever his meeting with a female staff. I've worked with him for more than 10 years, and his crazy about his own wife, total family man and only care about his wife and kids. I mean, the dude has a portrait of wife on his office table, in his wallet, on his phone screen. And he always tells me how much he loves and appreciate his wife. They celebrate everything and love doing the renewing of marriage vows thingy to reaffirm their love for each other. That man has no eyes for any other woman. I've worked for him for more than 10 years, and I cannot believe that it is even possible, any of those female staff allegations.
And the fact that, after being burnt a few times, he decided never to allow himself to be alone with any female staff ever again, except if it was me, because, well, we gel from first interview. Just perfect working chemistry. I understand him, he understands me. And at that time, I only had eyes for my x-husband too, that everyone can see, I was goo goo over my own husband back then too. So I was the only female he'd allow himself to be alone with.
So my first inclination was, to give Roger Ailes the benefit of the doubt first, as many others spoke greatly of him.
But also within my career, my boss has a business partner, who I felt, was sexual harassment asshole big time. And has been known to cheat on his wife with staff members, which everybody knew about because his wife is a psycho too, and will make their fights very public, coming to the work place and confront him about it, and his always making remarks about how women should dress sexier, show more legs, show more boobs. His hiring process is very bias towards more sexily dressed females too. He didn't bother me too much as I was the right hand of his partner. Like these two men cannot be more opposite from each other. Infact, there was once he criticized me for not wearing a skirt to work, and I went to complain to my boss, threatening to quit if I was forced to wear a skirt, and that was the end of the matter. My boss took care of it and he never bothered me again.
The problem is that, both of them are yin and yang in the business and cannot do without each other. So my boss doesn't interfere with however his partner crosses the line, as long as nobody complains. But the problem is, because his like that, he employs managers who are like that too, and when female employees complain to him, he tells them not to be over sensitive and brush them aside. Most of the time, these females end up just resigning instead of making a police report. On my end, I know what was happening, but I was working for the best boss in the world that I was very happy with and it was also my dream job, and this dude has no jurisdiction over me, and I know telling my boss is no use, because he knows what's going on but he needs his partner. So it's fucked up, and sucks for those women.
So, hard to tell who is telling the truth, but Gretchen should have recorded Roger Ailes and get some damn solid evidence to prove this shit. In this technology age! It gotta be harder for men to get away with this!
And if she is truly the victim, I applaud her for her bravery that many women wouldn't do in fear to be in the spotlight or how that may jeopardize her from finding another job for being a trouble maker.
