As the co-host of NBC’s “Today,” Matt Lauer once gave a colleague a sex toy as a present. It included an explicit note about how he wanted to use it on her, which left her mortified.
On another day, he summoned a different female employee to his office, and then dropped his pants, showing her his penis. After the employee declined to do anything, visibly shaken, he reprimanded her for not engaging in a sexual act.
He would sometimes quiz female producers about who they’d slept with, offering to trade names. And he loved to engage in a crass quiz game with men and women in the office: “f—, marry, or kill,” in which he would identify the female co-hosts that he’d most like to sleep with.

I don’t believe so. There should be some type of reprimand. But there is still no defending it.awesome guy wrote:Should one be fired for only making a sexual joke? I don't see how that's in the same league as the rest of the stuff done, seems more like gripping.HokieHam wrote:C’mon guys......there is NO defending this. Period. Not even sexually explicit jokes.
I’m not saying I agree with the immediate firing of someone either, unless there is undeniable proof.
With Matt Lauer........with Franken.......seems to me there is that proof.
I just find it rich with all the hypocrisy on the left over this.....they started out trying to get Bill O(who I always thought was creepy) and boy, did it turn on them big time. It’s amazing to watch the implosion. You watch, Franken and Conyers will sit there......and sit there.......etc.

I'm not defending Lauer, I'm having an academic conversation on what things are firable vs. just getting a talking too. I'm sure he's guilty as hell of all of the above and even more. NBC knew about and enabled the truly harassing and predatory things he did. The door lock button had to be approved for installation, they knew and just hid it. But anyway, he should be fired for that and the sexual attacks. My academic point is not everything he did is that same category as the assaults.

Re: Breaking: Matt Lauer fired for inappropriate sexual beha
No disagreements, but that sword cuts both ways. Tons of women use their sexuality to their advantage in the workplace. The left/feminists want a society where women can act like whores all day with no responsibility, and a man can have his life ruined in a he said / she said.HokieHam wrote:C’mon guys......there is NO defending this.

not until all information is available, what was their relationship before he sent it? not a good thing to do with a co-worker but who knows what was happening before he sent it. IN one of the reports the woman is now saying that she went into his office, he requested she remove her blouse, she did willingly, then they had sex..... now it is a sexual complaint. So he raped her? or two adults had sex in the office, to me that is between his wife, himself and the side chick. I agree it is a super bad idea to do what he did but adults have sex, many of them not including their current spouse or relationship, or else the adultery rate and divorce rate would not be near as highip_law-hokie wrote:You don't find giving a colleague a dildo with explicit instructions on how they want the colleague to use the dildo to be sexual harassment?cwtcr hokie wrote:1 and 3 are crass and to me do not reach sexual harassment, but for one keep the proof and let him know it was not appropriate and use it if he takes any action against you.

then the entire world should be fired, explicit jokes occur in workplaces, people talk and joke. Some of the rauchiest stuff I have heard comes from women. Yes it is crass and could be rude depending on who is engaging in it but it is not sexual harassment or assault.HokieHam wrote:C’mon guys......there is NO defending this. Period.

FYI, I am not defending Lauer, if he did do stuff to people against their will then yes remove him, but if he had affairs with co-workers and it is not affecting the work place then that is between him and his wife. If some of the stories are to be believed he raped people, put him in prison. But to beleive that requires you and I to suspend reality and think this guy was dumb enough to do that and the people he raped were just willing to go along with it til now. (and everyone knew the guy was a player and women would still do things alone with him)

you are married, correct? so your office interactions could very well be different then two single unattached people in an office. I have been married 27 years and usually don't talk much personal stuff with any females I work with. I don't want to be that close with them. I had a shop foreman that was banging one of my a/p clerks in a job back in my early thirties. She was bat shirt crazy so I felt sorry for him.nolanvt wrote:My office interactions are a lot different than when I’m at the bar or other social gatherings.

Regarding polite society, you complain about society not being polite and you complain about efforts to make society more polite. It would appear that you like complaining.

With their Cap’n and Chief Intelligence Officer having deserted them, River, Ham and Joe valiantly continue their whataboutismistic last stand of the DJT apology tour.

As the co-host of NBC’s “Today,” Matt Lauer once gave a colleague a sex toy as a present. It included an explicit note about how he wanted to use it on her, which left her mortified.
On another day, he summoned a different female employee to his office, and then dropped his pants, showing her his penis. After the employee declined to do anything, visibly shaken, he reprimanded her for not engaging in a sexual act.
He would sometimes quiz female producers about who they’d slept with, offering to trade names. And he loved to engage in a crass quiz game with men and women in the office: “f—, marry, or kill,” in which he would identify the female co-hosts that he’d most like to sleep with.
