People no longer seem to keep unspoken thoughts unspoken anymore.....they share them with the world via social media.
And the beauty of that is that type of sharing comes back to bite them in the ass. Rightfully so.

Ghomeshi's a tool but I don't see anymore how any of this resulted in criminal charges, not when it was so-called "victims" that kept going back for more and wanted to maintain contact with him. CBC's kind of made to look hypocritical here. They push all this touchy-feely-sensitivity feminist stuff in their broadcasts yet in the background of their own flagship show the staffers are behaving like it's Animal House. The worst thing that should have happened to Ghomeshi, if his employer had taken it's own workplace propaganda seriously, should have resulted in him being fired. In hindsight it's now ludicrous that he was dragged through the criminal justice process and potentially faced jail time.
Agreed.
Some of the other comments in this thread remind me of a workplace situation many years ago. A female co-worker liked to joke around with a male co-worker a lot. She would tell me about things she'd joke about sexually with him and how she enjoyed teasing him with her "just in joking" suggestions. I asked her WTH she was trying to pursue with him since he was 20 years older and married with children. She just thought it was funny. One day he got tired of it and asked her to stop as he was not interested in her that way and was concerned others may think there was something going on. She took offense to this, feeling refused, and went to management to report
he was being "inappropriate" with her and that she would make a federal case of it if they didn't do something about it. He was the one that got the heat for it.
