‘troubled’ by Geraldo’s response to Matt Lauer?
Geraldo is dead on here with reason and common sense.
As to his impression of Lauer?..It probably wasn't all fun and games is my thinking here, but here again, he is treated as guilty, just like all the others we don't have Picture proof against.
I am afraid to even "Look" at a women these days.

This brings up a new political issue. Under today's liberal standards, is it considered cheating if you aren't getting any at home? Perhaps we can get Congress to write some new laws that specifically define "it". I haven't seen a new law yet defining "is". Just kidding of course, since this is only speculation on this issue and has nothing whatsoever to do with me personally (my legal disclaimer).
Problem is these days, is that those that are not have monkey see'd, monkey do learned to imitate that behavior.
I for one, am not flattered.
At least, we as teenagers in those days were thankfully, a bit timid in our appreciative awe for the fairer sex.
"Toxic Masculinity" only exists on the left...they are nothing more than cowards and do not represent male conscious human beings.
I was once in a rock band many years ago. We openly joked, and still do, about how women approach a member of a rock band after the set. I was a good boy. And, I thought it was ok. Why? Because I wasn't in a position of power. I was never the aggressor, ever. I never acted on it, either - but that's beside the point.
[No joke or bragging either]
Maybe if they promoted a culture of modesty and seriousness, thereby avoiding all the sex trappings, it just might bring everyone else to their senses also. Much can be done by example, suggestion and discussion.
I am not being a prude here, just looking for some balance and self respect; it's clear that the "Be what ever you will, anything goes" behavioral model doesn't work to our benefit.
I have no idea if it's true, but I heard Lauer had a button under his desk that would lock the doors. He used it to keep a woman from feeling and overpowered her, the story goes. It could be lies. Anyway, we should never lump this behavior in with inappropriate but non-criminal behavior. I agree you could look at someone the wrong way and if you were famous end up on the same list of people accused of "sexual misconduct" as someone accused of using a door-lock control to trap and someone and physically attack her.
Still, we shouldn't need to establish what is and what isn't harassment...firing a guy for asking someone out to dinner? come on now.
The line to tow was established a long time ago...but...The left will always take things to extremes...after all, they Are the "Sky is Falling" idiots dating back to the voo doo tribesmen prior to civilization of any kind.
As most of the leftist solutions for any problem do.
This guy Lauer is a pig of the worst sort. He was in a position of authority and daily lecturing our country down the path of Altruism. He was condescending to Bill O'Riley and Cory Feldman
and the next minute ambushing a young intern.
But, look at where all this ends up. We will no longer be able to express, appreciation, sympathy or empathy with a simple hand on a women's shoulder or dare I just gently rub her upper back.; I've done that countless times even a pat on the back of guys...just the way I was brought up. Nothing sexual about it...it's just mutuality.
I realized just the other day that I might have to control that behavior and risk being thought of as insensitive.
It's a very sad day for the consciously human.
The work place for the last thirty years in my expirience was to respect the coworkers and to act professionally to each other. You could kid around with some and others required a more formal interaction.
It is just one more thing one must be consciously aware of every moment...that's not what I'd call "Freedom".
This far without harassing anyone .With no power but our will power.
We will be just fine.
Workin my normal weekend shifts...I don't mind them so much.
Although...bush sr, ruined the "accidental" touching thing for the rest of us old boys.
60+% of the global population has yet to achieve a mind and any meaningful kind of self control...and wait there is more: most of them seem to work in government, media and the film industry.
