The news item I heard claimed he had sent an "inappropriate" text to some woman. (What we used to call "banter") Just a bit of banter from a likeable rogue. What Aled said was that the texts were not inappropriate, just a bit juvenile. That's what I meant by banter, not the so called inappropriate suggestion.

Seems it wasn't at the time though. I can't get around the fact that so many women didn't feel compelled to either complain or just tell the aggressor to F**K OFF.

I can't get around the fact that so many women didn't feel compelled to either complain or just tell the aggressor to F**K OFF. I think in a way that's the point. They didn't feel able or safe to do that. There is a worry that at the lower end men who are socially inept's banter or advances may cross a line and make a woman feel uncomfortable. Now the best thing would be for that to be pointed out at the time, the man apologise and go away with a better understanding of what's appropriate. If women haven't felt able to speak up then it's going to remain a problem. Hopefully what's coming out of this is that women will feel empowered to point out minor faux pas and men can learn from their errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarne Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 It already is.

quilp Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Those poor lambs, having to go through the experience most fathers have to endure. It is a rather sickening read. The assumption being that women have more rights over their kids at the expense of the father. Wonder what hers, and other kids think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The woman's problem is not that she has equal custody it's the way it is arranged. One week on / one week off with only skype messages every other day on the off weeks even if though Mum and Dad live 10 minutes apart. And the fact that she chooses not react to it like she does.
