Locust Valley, NY

As a woman architect who worked at several firms throughout her life,
sometimes as the only female architect, I have never encountered harassment of
any sort.
My guess for the avoidance of abuse or assault in my career was due to the
fact that I have always, and still do, act professionally, dress
professionally, and at all times practice common sense.

How do these women end up in a hotel room with their boss, co-worker or
associate? Why does a woman wear a semi-transparent dress to a company
function that exposes her thong?

One must respect herself, or himself, before others will respect her or him.

Dearest David, you make me feel like a kid again. I'm a few years ahead of
you, coming of age in the 60's and 70's, and our ""mobbism"" was in reaction
to events like draft lotteries, or May 4, 1970 (Kent State--ringing a few more
bells than we would have hoped, forty-eight years later.)
You can get our perspective much better from Gail Collins than from me; but I
would encourage you instead to actually listen to the students themselves,
rather than ism-ing them. I've been a high school and college teacher for a
very long time: there are too many theories, and not enough listening. They
are the ones who will act, and whatever we might theorize about them is indeed
dust in the wind. There seems to be a possibility of actual action on gun
control, sexual consent, race and other social and political issues led by
teens and millennials--just as we did, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B.
Anthony, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and many others did. As Max Plank
observed, ""A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its
opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents
eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.""
Listen; the times are changing.

In the last six weeks I've read stories about how employers are loosening
their hiring practices to include more applicants with criminal histories
including being prisoners on day passes, applicants with evidence of use of
drugs and now so it seems more disabled people. This is all good news.

But it seems older workers are still left out in the cold.

Simple Answer: ""YES""

You're right of course. The ONLY thing, it seems these days, that commands any
attention is M-O-N-E-Y! You can whine and march and write editorials until the
cows come home and it will do little good except for some lip service that
will be put out by the PR department with absolutely no follow up.

Cut the number of subscribers 30-40% and the advertisers will demand lower
rates , the stock price will tank and the money will start to dry up. Ya'
know...instead of many hundreds of billions it'll only be a few hundreds of
billions. Enough to give any corporate board worth its salt pause...where
doing the right thing doesn't even get on the board meeting agenda!

Who was this ""United Nations official?"" Was it Sajjid Malik? It is not clear
from this piece whether he is usually in Beirut or Damascus. How can we be
certain that it was not Assad's snipers involved in this alleged incident, in
order to cast suspicions on ""rebels""? If the Army of Islam is refusing to
allow locals to leave, shame on them. They are accomplices with Assad and
Putin in the sieges on East Ghouta that have lasted for more than five years.

NO.
Teenagers, adolescent children are barely capable of seeing past their own
selfish interests, as in this, this Why We Should suggestion that is based
SOLELY around ONE issue.

Voting is a right that should never be taken lightly. It's not a one-trick
pony or a single-issue sound off.

Spewing venom at people with different perspectives solves nothing.
Understanding why they think, feel and vote the way they do will go much
further. We have a societal problem politically in this country and we all
better pay attention and help solve it. Identity politics is not the answer
nor is anger and hatred.

Tragically, some of the biggest supporters of the fascistic drift of Trump's
America are right-wing Jews like Adelson and his ilk. Ever since the neocons
betrayed their family and Jewish leftist heritage to throwing in with Reagan
in 1980, over Likud Israel, right-wing American Jews have bankrolled the rise
of racism in America as a necessary and inevitable corollary of their support
for a Republican Party happily committed to supporting Likud Israel at all
cost, not least because Likud racism against Palestinians fit very comfortably
with Republican racism in America. What a shock that the highly predictable
chickens of this crazy right-wing Jewish embrace of the American right has led
to the current situation in which, in effect, Shel Adelson and Bibi are now de
facto the backers of American Nazis outright, since Trump has become such a
perfect puppet of Likud foreign policy that it's necessary to wink at his
American Nazi followers for Likud's sake. Who cares about American Nazis if
Trump moves the capitol to Jerusalem and achieves ""regime change"" for Likud
in Iran, right? But what if American Nazis ultimately turn on Israel too, not
just Jews in America? And what if American Nazis become even more powerful in
the only voting (as opposed to donor) base the Republican Party now has:
racist America Firsters? When will America First replace Israel First as the
mantra Shel Adelson's Republican Party lives by?

Not a surprise to anyone--which was the point, as other commentators have
noted.

Britain is especially vulnerable given its intent to leave the EU. This should
give pause to those Brexit champions, who were swayed by the simplistic
rhetoric of the nationalist right. Come to think of it, wasn't some of that
Pro-Brexit rhetoric funded, in part, by Russian state actors? Yes indeed, as
the US Senate report in January of 2018 plainly asserted, as did Scotland
Yard's own investigation.

And still, Trump says nothing about Putin.

Trump is so radioactive, the other living presidents won't even appear for the
photo op. The unwarranted Capitol ceremony was Trump's attempt to put on his
sackcloth and ashes to prove he's religious - it didn't work.
