Sexual Harassment = 'Silly Racket'

Check out the National Review's "The Corner." It's on the blogizroll on the right -->
I check it most days -- it's usually good for at least a laugh and, on occasion, a surprisingly intelligent conversation. Sometimes, though, you get gems like this ridiculousness by John Derbyshire (commenting on the Bill O'Reilly suit):

"The thing that strikes me most forcefully, though, is what a silly racket this whole "sexual harassment" business is..... It would just -- and I repeat, this is EVEN IF it were all true -- be a guy behaving obnoxiously. When did women cease to be able to deal with that? The very few times I've been obnoxious to women, they gave as good as they got, and then some. But then, my pockets are barely an inch deep."

I don't know if the suit against O'Reilly is true or not. I'm thinking it's probably not, largely because the plaintiff resembles a hippopotamus. But does this jackass really think that those comments are acceptable in the workplace? Does he not think that she should have the right to sue HER BOSS for making her that uncomfortable and abused? I'm baffled. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised -- he's the same fool who thinks homosexuality is the same thing as pedophilia
