Not the Only One

Steven Hirsch, man with camera, has a new blog,"Courthouse Confessions". He stands outside the Manhattan courthouse at 100 Centre Street and photographs "criminals" walking out of their hearings/trials. It's mostly bullshit that is congesting the court systems - lapsed speeding tickets, right to assembly arrests, "stolen" property and also an "assault" by Nina Montanez. A guy called her out on the street, she defended herself against him, she got a black eye, he called the cops on her, she wound up getting arrested. 

Here is her description of what happened before the "assault"

If you want to approach me, you tail to me in a different way. You know what I mean? You don't talk to someone, you don't try to get somebody's number by saying you got a big butt or nice breasts. You know what I mean. I'm a grown woman. I don't like disrespect. 

He didn't show up to the court date. 

Russians Will Continuing Procreating, Thank You Very Much

Look, I know we're all here to procreate and spread Man everywhere (blah blah blah) but sex at work...my, isn't that just 2005?

A Russian judge tossed out a perfectly good court case today involving
an executive and her touchy-feely-in-a-gross-way boss. The judge even went as far (probably not to him) as saying:

"If we had no sexual harassment we would have no children,"

There have been only two successful cases of sexual harassment in Russia, one in 1993 and the other 1997. What is wrong with people? If you honestly think that slapping a woman on the ass means she wants to take you to a conference room and give ya one, there is something wrong with you.

Women are second-class citizens in too many countries. Even in supposedly modern societies like the U.S., women (and men) still have to deal with unwelcome ass-grabbing.

Article 19 of the Russian Constitution specifies says that men and women are to be considered equal. What is equal about this situation?
