NBC Orders Its Employees to Rat Out Sexually-Harassing Fellow Employees, Or Be Fired

This should be fun.

They're imposing a Bush-type rule: Those who tacitly support sexual terrorism will be treated as terrorists themselves.

BC has issued strict new anti-sexual harassment rules to employees -- including that staffers must snitch on any misbehaving colleagues -- in the wake of the firing of disgraced "Today" show host Matt Lauer.

A source tells Page Six that NBC employees have been ordered to report any inappropriate relationships in the workplace -- and if they fail to do so, they could be fired for covering up for colleagues.

I don't know about this forced-snitching rule.

And reportedly you're supposed to just snitch out on mere affairs of simple office romances, too:

A source says, "Romantic relationships at work are not exactly unusual, but now NBC says it is taking a zero-tolerance approach. Staffers have been told that if they find out about any affairs, romances, inappropriate relationships or behavior in the office, they have to report it to human resources, their superior or the company anti-harassment phone line. Staffers are shocked that they are now expected to snitch on their friends.["]

Plus their are rules on hugging -- it must be a brief hug (actually, I think they should just ban hugs between people who are not relatives by blood or marriage; they're abominations) and even more silly rules about taxis and steak:

"Also there's strict rules about socializing, including [not] sharing taxis home and [not] taking vegans to steakhouses."

The most recent mutation of feminism tried to portray itself as "sex-positive," as opposed to the militantly anti-sex positioning of, say, Andrea Dworkin. They not only claimed to be totally fun and cool and into sex, but affirmatively championed pure sluttiness.

This always struck me as a marketing claim and not nearly the truth of the product being sold. Despite claiming to be the frisky, sex-positive pro-slut people, you couldn't miss the stridently anti-sex (at least anti-sex-with-men) prudery of their actual message.

Obviously sexual harassment is wrong -- but now making office romances forbidden?

What do the allegedly totally DTF pro-sex feminists have to say about this?

There's a word, I just found out, for alleged "male feminists" who use the silly patter of bubble-head feminism to get sex from pretty dumb things who just want their politics validated: That term is "macktivist," a combination of "activist" and "macking," which means hitting on, chatting up, picking up.

Men compete for mates in various ways. "Male feminists" aren't good at competing in the traditional ways, so they have adopted flaunting their beta status and servile posture as their strategy to get easy mating opportunities.

And a lot of feminists are angry about that, as that video points out.

But if male feminist "macktivists" are using politics to get sex, aren't female feminists, with this silly We're Totally DTF and Pro-Sex Slutwalks Forever salespitch using sex to get their preferred politics? Aren't they signalling that feminists just might have sex with you if you parrot their a-woman-makes-77-cents-for-every-dollar talking points?

Aren't the female feminists offering easy sex if you preach their politics, and aren't the male mactivists just agreeing to this offer?
