I am sick to death of women crying victim because of so-called offensive comments.
I am not sick to death of women who have genuine, almost or non-recoverable experience of male sexual violence.
But Jacqui Dean shouldn't be a representative of the people if she takes offence at something only a tiny minority would.
She certainly needs a head-check if she thinks her dealt-with complaint should be revisited and escalated five years down the line.
For Judith Collins to comandeer such a lame duck, limp, poster girl for 'safe' workplaces is an abuse in and of itself. What was going on in her head?
Men and women have co-existed, and procreated together forever.
Can't we all grow up and learn to deal with each other one on one without the government telling us how?

I no doubt there are offensive comments made to women, or made when women are around, especially in the work place. I though was once the only male in an office of about 20 women and boy (or should I not identify that way) was that an experience. The verbal and physical harrasment was unbelievable. That was an eye opener to me.
In my experience many circulators of dirty jokes/off-colour humour are women. This whole thing is a bit ridiculous.
Worked once who could hold er own with anyman when it came to foul language or dirty jokes. We used to call her `Dithers' after a TV character (the show escapes n=me but think he was a gardener) because she used to get the shakes after a couple of drinks.
