Big difference between being a groper like Feelner and merely trying to pick people up.
For the record, I see NOTHING wrong with attempting (and/or succeeding in) “picking up” someone within a professional relationship or dating one’s boss, client, underling, or cow-orker. So long as everyone is over the age of consent and doesn’t express aversion, it’s none of anyone’s god-damned business.[/quote]
Right, and the true “groping” incidents were wrong. But many of the complaints seem to center around things like Filner’s saying that they were attractive, or asking if they were married, etc. While strange and awkward, these things are not sexual harassment, IMHO. Yes, Filner is creepy and he should step down, but the number of people and the types of complaints being filed makes the timing suspicious. This should have come out during the campaign.
