You mean where they've been at the highest point in a decade because we now seeing a return to normal winter snowfalls? I remember 8 years ago that they were screaming that the end was nigh because the water levels had dropped. This was because we had unseasonably short winters with no heavy snow packs.

Are you saying that women have said this to you or about you in an actual business workplace setting? If so, where do you work? If not, what do you mean?

Not me, but I've seen it said about others. I've worked in several jobs when I was younger which were female dominated such as harness making(for industrial applications, and wire harnesses for aircraft). I've also seen it happen in fortune 500 companies, and I've seen it in warehouses and distribution centres.

I've been in the tech industry for 18 years... worked with hundreds of different women over that time. Not once have I ever felt the need to "defend myself against accusations like this." Why? Because it's pretty easy to avoid being a condescending sexist asshole, when you stop behaving like every woman is put here for the sole purpose of your sexual gratification.

That's great, I've seen men's careers destroyed because they refused the advances of a women. This includes them claiming: rape, assault, sexual harassment, stalking, peeping and several other things. Of course, as a guy you're pretty much 100% guilty, even when it isn't true. Then you're just a "guy who got off." At the end of the day there is no defense, it's game over. Even if you are innocent, and have been maliciously libeled against and even if you win the libel case, you're still screwed.

She's not talking about comments like "nice ass" as much as she's talking about comments like "die, you fucking cunt!"

"I hope someone rapes him in the ass." "I'm going to cut off your balls and rape your throat with them." And several other comments from women in various work places. Thinking that this is a singular issue, tied to only women need to dig their heads out of their ass.

I am beginning to suspect that they whole anti-EU campaign is not really an astroturfing (and use of the useful idiots) by the 1%ers to get rid of those pesky EU laws that are preventing unrestrained wealth acquisition by the rich at the expense of the poor.

I might agree, if I didn't hear stupid things coming out of the EU parliament like the ability to turn on any countries printing press and just print money to fix debt issues. Or the variety of nuts that believe, much like in the US and Canada that our "national borders" are pesky things and we should just open them up far and wide and let everyone in. That one doesn't go over well, especially with legal immigrants.

And if you go read what happened in the case of that Iranian Airbus, you quickly find out that it's a case of the Iranians putting the american ship on edge after doing aggressive maneuvers, including having a plane in flight earlier hat was acting in a targeting mode. Not saying that the US is innocent, but there was more going on then "they just shot down the jet." In Russia's case, they actually visually identified the civilian airliner and shot it down anyway.

Considering the actions of the UN, when it's Israel vs oh say...Somalia, or Zimbabwe no. If there was an equal standing on commendation I'd agree, but greater issues happen and there's nary a peep on them. In fact there's been several cases in the UN itself where the general assembly has supported those issues while on the same day condemning Israel. Again, if they were occupying you might have a point. Remember those wars? Right. And where's the commendation of Egypt with regards to Gaza? You might remember that Egypt is doing the same thing, and is assisting Israel to enforce the blockade.

So with that I'm of the opinion that there's a clear bias. As it rolls along, the only one who's said anything about you being a anti-semite or not is you, especially since you brought it up.
