    Reminder that 56 out of 420 male MPs in the commons, including 3 Cabinet ministers and 2 shadcab ministers are currently under investigation for sexual misconduct by the parliamentary watchdog.

      That is approaching DSA levels of sexpestery. Almost impressive, if not for the fact that it is horribly traumatizing.

        Any reading on this issue in the DSA? I’ve heard things but I didn’t imagine it’d be of this magnitude

          It's mostly a joke and refering to incredibly stupid online drama. I am not American, so the whereabouts of the DSA are unknown to me.

    A bunch of upper class nonces cloistered into a private building to spend hours mostly sitting at desks? Tbh I'm only surprised this doesn't happen 10 times a day

      There's definitely shit that is inappropriate in a place of work and watching porn in sight of the coworkers that would be upset by it ranks pretty highly. Porn only stopped being a common thing sent around company email systems 10 -15 years ago or so, porn in the workplace creates an absolutely horrible environment for women and an incredible bro culture. Everyone that's experience that in the past isn't going to be particularly happy about seeing it today after improvements so far.

          That attitude is how you create the kind of workplace culture that existed at activision. Failure to understand how one set of behaviour also contributes to other bad sets of behaviour.

          If you allow all the men in the workplace to look at a meat show of women in the workplace that inevitably bleeds into them treating the workplace like a meatshow as well.

              You understand how there is a difference in the depiction and treatment of the two in a patriarchal society right?

                  It is an environment where women are regularly sexually assaulted and mistreated while men are not, generally speaking.

                  When you create an environment where it is acceptable to view content like this you also create an environment where people act like it is acceptable to treat the women around you the same way they are treated in that content.

      watching porn in public with other people around you who do not consent literally is a crime, it's called sexual harassment

          what you are doing right now is some sick shit to be honest. there are women who came forwards, Conservative or not, who call this sexual harassment. of this happened around me I would consider it sexual harassment. so ask yourself why you feel the need to defend men sexually harassing women

    Does the house of commons have a communal candy desk like the American senate

    If so, do they gotta wash their hands or what
