I have no way of knowing if this guy did what he’s accused of, or not. What I do know is that some of the “accusations,” if true, are idiotic, and I’m pretty sick of them.
This is well past its expiration date. I’m here to announce that some women speaking for all women make women sound asinine.
Before I continue with my rant, let’s see what this dude is accused of-
KOMOnews – The head of Washington state’s Employment Security Department has resigned after an outside investigation found several employees complained about him putting his arms around them or looking at their bodies in ways that made them uncomfortable.
“Looking employees up and down and/or staring at women at the chest level, for whatever reason, is inappropriate behavior which makes Mr. Peinecke vulnerable to claims of harassment with sexual overtones,” the report says.
Peinecke said he was “dumbfounded that any woman thinks I am staring at her breasts or dressing her down with my eyes.”
“If I am doing that, it is not a conscious behavior,” he told the investigator. “I had no awareness that I was making anyone uncomfortable. I am disturbed and somewhat shocked by this feedback.”
snip!
I won’t respond to the touching, because that can very well be inappropriate given the context or the nature of the touching. Let’s discuss the “looking employees up and down.”
Are the women only complaining when this takes place at work, or are they trying to claim this is “outrageous, repulsive and reprehensible behavior” no matter where it takes place?
Bull$hit.
Ladies, this is no way to exercise your power, because it comes off as not being guided by anything rational, natural or reasonable.
Can someone “leer” and make someone uncomfortable? Of course. And those kinds of guys are policed by other guys. Reasonable guys. Men know when other men are crossing the line from doing what men always do, taking a quick sizing up of a woman’s attractiveness, into looking like he’s imagining getting her alone in the back of his van.
We’re experts at this.
Men even have to size up a man that is with an attractive woman to figure out what he can get away with. For instance, men know to never even glance at a woman who is completely dolled up, in high heels and stretch pants, in a Walmart, when she’s with a goon with an angry face, wearing a basketball jersey and gold jewelry. This is a guy that will knife you for even accidentally looking at his property.
This is more complicated than women imagine. Some men like when they see other men looking at their women. But we know when the looking becomes leering. I don’t think women do. Or, if they do, they are intentionally ruining the lives of men who are just looking.
Leaving this policing up to the women, angry, strident, possibly lesbian women, seems to be getting out of control.
Men look at women. Women know it, and women like it, until they don’t like it. #MeToo is handing some of the more unstable women in society the ability to wield power over men, men just being men, and that is dangerous.
Amen! I’d love to be leered at again.
How can you know not to look at something without seeing it first?
I’m fresh out of ESP.
I guess next I will need to have my eyes removed…. SHIITE! and that was all I had left.

Al,
in the words of Jerry Seinfeld-
“You treat it like an eclipse. You get a sense of it and look away.”
These women have gone full retard. And now they are going to have to prep for life as cat ladies, because no man in his right mind will will EVER give them the time of day. Enjoy long, lonely nights with your pitchers of vodka, sitting in an apartment with he overwhelming stink of litter box.
“He looked at me funny that one time! It was like rape!”
Yeah… as someone who has been sexually preyed upon by another person before over an extended period of time… I give you -1,000 sympathy points.
I ogle men. All the time. The more muscular the man, the more I stare. Put him in a uniform and I’ll follow him home.
There, I said it.
There are look levels.
One level is when the woman passes by, you wait a few beats, then turn around acting as if what you’re looking for… the corn syrup… is the other way, get a look at her caboose, and then you realize the corn syrup is actually in the next aisle.
Women are on to us. They know it happens, and most women like it, I don’t care what they say.
It’s why they check out what their ass looks like in the mirror before buying the pants.
Women often rate the men before they decide whether their glances are creepy or flattering, and THAT’S DISCRIMINATION!!!
#UsToo!
I’ll reserve my opinion until I get a look at what he was looking at. Chances are it’s not what the accusers would have us believe.
this is getting out of control. As a society, we are justifying homosexuality, pedophelia and numerous other forms of immortality.
But a guy can’t look at a pretty girl longingly?
Sheesh…..
I’ve never seen a women’s eyes at the first glance since Carlyn Fischer was the new girl in 5th grade…..
THEY HAVE THEIR ANTENNAE UP AT ALL TIMES!! I WAS SPEAKING WITH MY BOSS ABOUT WORK ISSUES IN A PASSAGEWAY AND HE LET HIS HEAD TURN (WHILE TALKING) TO WATCH A CUTE ONE PASS BY US. I HAD TO REMIND MY BOSS THAT THEY ARE KEENLY AWARE OF THE SHIFT IN VOICE DIRECTION!!
SITUATIONAL AWARENESS AT ALL TIMES BUTT…ENJOY THE SCENERY!!
This ‘mint’, because someone is making money on it, should be retitled, “MeTooNZ”, as a comic strip. Sorry Kiwis, but that’s what that it looks like: Me Toons.
My wife points them out, if she feels I have somehow missed them.
Eye candy is to be enjoyed, under certain circumstances.
Have I told you guys?
I love my wife.
Giggity
“Women often rate the men before they decide whether their glances are creepy or flattering,”
It’s true. Nothing wrong with that. Applies all the way up to stalker/husband level of attention.
He must be old and ugly.
I’m with Ramona and Dianny. What happened to the looks and wolf whistles from years ago? I found it ego-boosting and not offensive. Old age and stupid feminazi’s have ruined a little fun. I ogle guys and especially a nice tight end. So arrest me.
I’ve had to bat down a table full of cougars before. Dudes get it, women give an eyeroll and it’s time to hightail it. Cougars require a bat, a trap, and an exit plan.
I still work around the military and the new Utility uniforms for both Army & Navy wear their Rank insignia in the middle of their chest. So if a woman Soldier or Sailor has a nice rack, am I checking her out or just finding out her rank? Then amplify that with the hormones of 20 something male servicemen that they serve with all day long.
I’M WITH EUGENIA!! THEY ARE TAKING ANY LAST REMNANTS OF FUN FROM THE WORKPLACE!! I AIN’T A ROBOT!! IF YOU’RE NOT CHECKING THE BOOBS AND BUTTS, THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU DUDE!!!
SEE WHAT YOU STARTED, FUR??!!
No joke: when my wife and I were dating we were sitting in Baskin Robbins in the college town we lived in. A flock of lesbians came in and one of them, while passing our table, said of my wife, “He’s got him a real cutie there.” We both thought it was disgusting but I think, knowing what we know now, if we were younger and the same thing happened today, we’d both call a cop just to be jerks, and put the fear of the law into the dykes for their sexual harassing words.
“Make them live by their own rulebook.”
As a male in the workplace, would I be permitted to yell “get away from me harlot! I don’t want to lose my job or be sued based on accusations of ocular harassment!” or would I be fired for discrimination?
“My wife points them out, if she feels I have somehow missed them.”
Careful. Every woman I was with that did that was just preemptively covering her ogling of other women. “I bet you like that!” and me catching her later on making out with that girl. lol
Good if you’re looking to add a woman for the night, though.
I got so sick of women staring at my butt I stopped wearing the assless chaps.
So the clearasil worked?
These stupid women have no sense of using the real power women have. A little attention to grooming, a little flattering makeup, some pretty high heels and a good-fitting bra. It’s such a small investment compared to the rewards. Think about it.
I think a lot of this #MeToo crud is directly proportional to how little ogling is actually going on. Perverse, I know, but I think it’s true. A woman who knows she’s lookin’ good doesn’t complain about a little admiration. And, not surprisingly, the people who snipe and complain the most….are other women.
So the clearasil worked?>>
If it did I’d still be wearing the chaps.
LOL
AA-
Of course.
If a group of women came down to say, baseball practice, and every guy was getting a catcall and a whistle and a smile, except one guy.
Who is most likely to be the one to bring up at the next team meeting that no women should be allowed at practice because, after all, “it’s all about the baseball”?
Well, I’ve been saving up for one of those Japanese slut-bots. I may fall short unless TRUMP exempts them from the tariffs, but you @metooers be forewarned, you are well on your way to becoming obsolete. Anybody know if Geico insures slut-bots?
Marilyn Monroe after meeting Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev:
“He looked at me the way a man looks on a woman.”
DUH!
Don’t worry ladies, at the beach we have the ultimate respect for you.
There we make sure to only look at the covered parts…
I assume this is a white person, cause white people are bad.

You’d think, but apparently tattoos, nose rings, yoga pants, t-shirts, flip flops and wearing their possibly unwashed hair in a constant ponytail is cheaper for many these days, judging by which you see more of.
#METOO IS COMMUNISM
All this propaganda is, is to de-normalize and make regular heterosexual behavior TOXIC like they are trying to do with everything Trump says or does.
Meanwhile, gays spread AIDS, and they couldn’t yawn any harder.
“Madame, please tell your boobs to stop staring at my eyes.”
As has been pointed out by my betters. # is symbol for pound.
We did have a rent house out in the country so the gas was propane. We had the tank leased from a propane company so the renters had to order propane from that company.
We had known the propane guy for years, he not only delivered the propane he owned the company, he was in his 70’s. These two young people that were shacked up together were renting the house, she had three kids all by three different Daddies and he had one kid by another woman and then they had a kid together. So it wasn’t like either of them had the best morals in the world.
She always dressed in low cut shirts and push up bras, she barely kept her nipples covered. Well one day she calls and is complaining that she doesn’t want to order propane from that company any longer. I told her she had no choice because that was who the tank was leased from so unless she wanted to buy a tank. She whined that she went out pay the old man that came and he was looking down her shirt.
I about fell out of my chair laughing and told her, “honey if you didn’t want those things looked at you wouldn’t be pushing them out for the world to see.” She got mad and threatened to sue me and sue him. I’m not really sure what we were going to be sued for.
A few months later I saw him and told him about the phone call, he started laughing and said, “I can’t remember if I did or not but I ain’t so old that if they put them out there for me to see that I’m going to look away.”
Ladies – don’t flaunt it if you don’t want it looked at. It’s that simple. There are plenty of blouses with moderate neck lines.
…and skirts that don’t hug your ass and expose your thighs.
Ladies – I have a related question.
I work with a few women who are constantly pulling their sweaters or jackets over their boobs during conversations with me. It is distracting to me and I know I sometimes glance down when they suddenly do it. I don’t recall looking down prior.
And then they do it again!
Now I don’t know if they think I am staring and are covering up because they think I am oogling…
What the hell am I supposed to do? If I focus on their eyes to avoid looking at anything else then they will think I am making moves or something…
@ BFH, I’m sending you a pair of So Fine jeans.
The guy was head of security. And most likely “other duties as assigned”. Which might have included a brief inspection for proper wear at work, and any visible questionable security items on them.
So, if nothing happens at work, he’s harassed for doing his job properly.
If something bad happens at work, he’s fired for not doing his job properly, but he’s not harassed by the females (I hesitate to call them women).
Either way, he can’t win.
It may have been said, in one of the 46 pervious comments, but the #metoo nonsense is nothing more than control: Leftist funneling all freedoms into their narrow path of control.
They’ll get away with the ‘witch hunt’ flavor of the month, until someone throws another shout of ‘squirrel’ out for the progressive hounds of hell to chase.
These deviant microaggressions will not end until men accept that women must be
believedburqa’d.AA, I’ve said more times than I count since this me too crap started, women have always dressed and walked to get men/boys to notice them. Hell, it once came naturally for girls to add a little shake to their walk so they boys would make their funny comments, as a teen most girls knew they had caught their attention when they made catcalls and asked if we’d like fries with that shake.
Throw in a few bats of your eyelashes and a toss of your hair and you could have those boys drooling after you. It was a game we all played, the same way the girls would stand around and watch the boys practice sports so they could ogle their butts and point out the cuties and the kind of uglies. lol
I’m not so old that I don’t notice a nice looking man or a cute rear. 🙂
Why can’t we go back to women being women and men being men and playing the games women and men play? Sometimes I’m glad I’m old and can remember the sane days. This new day is too insane for me.
It’s called eyeball liberty. Don’t get caught!😏
@Old Racist White Woman — I know, right? We just knew it as the mating game. It’s how everyone gets sorted out and ends up continuing the species. All the social wiring is crossed now. It is any wonder men and women are now, supposedly, attracted to their own sex?
I take encouragement from the adages, the pendulum never stops swinging and what’s old is new again. It won’t be like this forever — it only feels like it when we’re in it. Although I will say, living in Seattle, that homosexuality has become so normal, we will never go back to people trying to keep that under wraps.
