I'm not saying it doesn't happen, I'm saying that if you are the boss you should think hard about pursuing someone you employ. If it goes sour, if they reject you right away, if they don't feel able to say no at first...
We meet lots of people we shouldn't pursue. Already married/with someone etc. That's just life.
But it does seem like there are a lot of women who make a big deal about "being looked at" or other similar non-contact/non-verbal behavior as some kind of harassment.
I've only ever heard those complaints along side ones of more serious harassment, e.g. where the looking was part of leering and wolf whistling as they walked down the street, or where it was clearly inappropriate e.g. staring at her chest while talking to her at work.
In a social situation someone can be open to advances and still reject yours. I guess you could say that was "unwanted", but that term is usually used in the context of "in a situation where they don't want any advances", like a business meeting that they have no choice over attending.
It takes a while for kids to learn not to just take things from other kids or hit them when they get upset. They have natural instincts that drive them to behave that way, and because they are kids we tolerate it to a much greater degree than we do in adults. When little Johnny steals a cookie from the jar, we don't usually call the cops.
So "it's human nature" is no excuse.
Also, you are wrong about women seeking infidelity. The most effective way for them to ensure the survival of their genes is to have a stable relationship with a provider that frees them up to look after the children. Many animals adopt this pattern too, pairing for life or at least until the children are old enough to look after themselves. Infidelity risks losing important resources and putting all your offspring at risk, and as you point out women can only have so many kids per lifetime.
That's one reason why many women want to be independent, and while some men are afraid of that happening as they think they will become irrelevant or infidelity will increase.
Their goal was to prevent the wall being built, saving billions of dollars. If they can delay long enough Trump might run out of time or political capital to do it.

Yeah, about that... Let's look at this "China FAQs" site you linked to. If you just go to the front page we see a series of stories...
Chinaâ(TM)s Decline in Coal Consumption Drives Global Slowdown in Emissions China is Leaving the U.S. Behind on Clean Energy Investment
So according to those two (literally the two most recent headlines) China is actually doing quite a lot to stop using coal (its consumption actually peaked a few years ago and is in decline), more so than the world's other big polluter in fact.
They actually do already. Rather than big cloth sails they use vertical spinning ones now, which reduce the load on the engines. They have also experimented with kites.
The National Health Service in the UK is far from perfect, and in fact is in serious trouble as many of the foreign staff it relies on are leaving due to Brexit... But none the less, I'd take it over any private system in the world.
I don't think we can draw any conclusions from this. She offers no details and no-one else has come forward with similar experiences or corroboration. Since she has chosen to not take the matter up with any authority and Tempkin has decided not to sue, we will likely never get any investigation or facts.
This is why it is so important that those in authority are approachable, that they believe those who come to them, and that they handle the matter properly. Otherwise this is what we get, court of the internet trials with literally zero evidence.
Sounds fishy, I mean how do you go from patting someone on the back to oops my hand accidentally ran six inches under her shirt? That's his whole hand to there.
Patting is a sideways motion. It's really hard to imagine how this could have happened. Also, we only have his side of the story.
They probably mean Fox News, the Daily Mail or Infowars. They keep up the conspiracy theory narrative about straight white guys being oppressed and at risk of some SJW destroying them over some bullshit. That's before the soy turns you gay, of course.
I'm not interested with the they will handle rivers that are half in Mexico and half in the US. The border runs down the middle.
Can't build in the middle very easily, but I suppose it's technically possible at great expense and ruining the river habitat. Can't build on the Mexican side, obviously. If you build on the US side you effectively ceed the river to Mexico.
Even if he personally doesn't want to get rich off it, perhaps any settlement money could be invested in reverse engineering enough of the ME to replace the only currently unremovable bits, i.e. the early boot stuff.
Or better still do the same for AMD parts, so that people who care about security and privacy aren't motivated to give Intel more money.
I always thought it would be even better if the GPL cancelled the violator's right to ALL other GPL software, but I guess there probably isn't an international legal basis for that.
There isn't actually all that much they can do other than demand that every Intel CPU owner gets a copy of the copyright message. Minix was released under a BSD licence so Intel don't have to publish any changes or give up any access, the only requirement being that the acknowledge the original authors and their copyright with every copy they ship.
At best they could force Intel to waste some money notifying people. Since Intel can't know the details of everyone who bought an Intel CPU (I hope) they would probably have to take out adverts all over the world. That could actually be good though, because it will create more negative publicity about the ME.
They bought some land, split it into tiny parcels and organized the sale of those parcels to thousands of individuals. Now in order to seize the land that Trump wants to build it on the government will have to organize thousands of compulsory purchases (or whatever you call them in the US). Every single one can be contested.
They have created an effective legal barrier to the wall.
The only sincere actions are the ones that align with your own political views. Everything else is just virtue signalling. Nobody does anything nice or altruistic, it's all purely to show off.
Of course, complaining about virtue signalling in every single story about anything virtuous is definitely not virtue signalling. You are doing a public service, calling out wrong-doers, not showing off your cynical anti-do-gooder credentials.
Back then Bond was just following a model where it was assumed that if a woman resisted she actually wanted it and was just playing hard to get. If the guy worked for it, in Bond's case by pinning her to the ground with his body, he had proved himself and she would give in.
Thing is, even modern Bond does this. In the last film he forced himself on a widow whose husband's funeral she had just attended. It's like, he's Bond, every woman must want him.
There is nothing wrong with making the first "move", as long as that move is benign. Don't ask your subordinates out, don't keep asking if they say no. It's really not hard at all.
The human race isn't going to die out because of this.
Regarding your IM example, have you every thought of just asking her to stop? Just say you think it is inappropriate because you are her superior. If she doesn't stop, report it to HR.
And how do they know you are using it? Sounds Orwellian, they must be getting data from Tesla who monitor everything you do. The car logs every action, no matter how trivial, and Tesla get some kind of telemetry from that. Naturally they don't tell you what they know, but from their statements it seems to be everything.

You know what I'm going to say. It's the same thing I always say when you make these bold claims of
You are alleging a grand conspiracy to manufacture sexual harassment claims. That's gonna need some proof.
Their goal was to prevent the wall being built, saving billions of dollars. If they can delay long enough Trump might run out of time or political capital to do it.
Or did you think Mexico was paying for it?

So you are certain that if you had said it you would have been disciplined. Yet you are not sure it is appropriate to ask her to stop saying it.
It seems fairly logical to me.

Hate to say it, but once again RMS is proven right. On multiple counts.
Who am I kidding, I love saying that.

They have created something.
They bought some land, split it into tiny parcels and organized the sale of those parcels to thousands of individuals.

You are overthinking this.
Fox News seems to be big on conspiracy theories these days. Remember when AntiFa were about to rise up, behead white guys and overthrow the president?
That's what passes for news these days.
