And people wonder why I wrote the “Hey men, I know you’re scared” thread.
You are the dude it is talking about.
The one thing I take solace in is that no woman is ever going to go near you, so your genes will die out.

The only thing that is clear is you are just fishing for replies because you are responding to everyone with just the dumbest possible rationales to excuse inexcusable behavior.
I don’t feel like going in circles all night with a troll whose only argument is, "geeze it’s just a joke,angry feminists have no sense of humor. " It’s the mentality of a child with no understanding of time or place.

You’re pointing the finger at her, but who is to blame in the first place? The feminists and woke SJW’s or Blizzard’s atrocious behavior all these years? Did you really think they would be able to keep that loosey-goosey environment with employees acting like misbehaving rock stars and nothing would come of it eventually?
There’s the door. Bye. Or is that too offensive I pointed you towards an exit?
Eight years too late on that, feminist.
If she’s going to lie about most of it, then I’m going to not feed her need for attention. I’m not a #ListenAndBelieve person.

This is from the boss at her new company. Seems like a real stand-up dude. Respect.

Basically this… like… fair enough probably the wrong time and place, but… if his comment was out of line… she certainly was out of line wearing a shirt like that… and if not her, then her company was.

Wearing something doesn’t invite you to do this to strangers.
Never said it did. I put him at fault too… I didn’t victim blame, I’m considering these separate…
He was inappropriate for what he said alluding to something sexual.
She was inappropriate for wearing something that alluded to something sexual.
If he was out of line… so was she (or at least her company was).

I agree that it could be considered inappropriate if it was a more formal/professional setting, but wearing a rude & risque shirt in that it says something that can be taken in a risque manner is very different from sexually harassing someone, especially a stranger.
What someone wears doesn’t invite certain behaviours. I don’t want to lead into the whole, “she was asking for it by what she was wearing” side of things but this is a more minor form of it.
So the only sense that matters in regards to sexual assault is what you hear? You can not be assaulted by what you see?
If sexual entendres were off the table, then don’t wear something that literally puts them on the table… it’s called sending a mixed signal.
And I already side stepped the she was asking for it… he was wrong for what he did. So was she.

Wearing clothing is passive, it is not directly aimed at anyone.
Actively targeting someone and taking away the double-entendre and making it explicit is not the same thing.
Gotcha so I can just look away? Well then you can just not listen?

You can absolutely be assaulted by what you see. But a shirt with a double entendre in text on it isn’t sexual harassment nor assault. It can be considered rude & risque, but it’s not illegal. You can be offended, but that’s it.
Wearing a shirt with a double entendre on it does not send the signal of, “please sexually harass me”. You, “sidestepped” it by blaming them both when nothing of what she did invited what he did.

May I ask what exactly did he say?
Blizzard should have taught their employees to be more professional, and the company the woman worked for should have created shirts without crass jokes on them. I hope she also complained about the shirt as it too was created as a crass joke.

Probably a repeat of what was on the shirt, but made personal. As they were strangers, that was wildly inappropriate. Again, wearing that shirt does not invite sexual harassment.

Looking at the thread definitely reflects not only on the culture of the organization (at all layers of the organization) but also the kind of people that empower many of these organizations.
This reminds me of the extremist crap that you hear from religious fundamentalists like the ones who are in the Taliban. Their whole justification of why a woman must be covered from head to toe revolves around the belief that it is the woman’s fault for provoking men to do what they do.
This is really no different.
