Women accuse Vice of “toxic” sexual harassment culture, calling it unsafe

Women Accuse Vice of ‘Toxic’ Sexual-Harassment Culture
quote:
In the summer of 2015, Phoebe Barghouty was 23 years old and had a new master’s degree in journalism from Stanford—but little other experience—when she landed what most of her peers would consider a dream job: associate producer at Vice’s Los Angeles bureau.
Though her job hadn’t technically started yet, her boss, then-Editor in Chief Jason Mojica, invited her to join the team at the L.A. Press Club Awards. After accepting an award for public service in journalism, the team from Vice—including Mojica and Kaj Larsen, the bureau chief who had hired Barghouty—celebrated with drinks. By the end of the night, Barghouty says a very drunk Larsen had brought up sex (musing about his chances with a group of “black girls” at the bar), asked her for a ride home, then passed out in her car.
quote:
The unusual interactions continued. Barghouty says Larsen would touch her at work—on the small of the back, on her bare thigh—in ways that he didn’t touch the other employees. And she wasn’t producing much journalism. Instead, Larsen, a former Navy SEAL turned journalist, had her do things like accompany him to parties in the Hollywood Hills. At one party, Larsen demonstrated headsets, telling the group that he would be the first person to report in virtual reality from a war zone. Larsen told her he was “grooming her,” but Barghouty felt instead like she was being shown off as arm candy.

The OT at a crossroads. Hate Vice but don't believe women who come out with their harrassment stories.

So now just talking about sex is sexual harrassment?

Someone grabbed my butt 15 years ago. No one saw it but it happened.
Give me attention and money.

I only copied the first two paragraphs. She then talks about him touching her at work.

Agreed. And today's generation has blurred the lines between coworkers and friends.
Far too many are going out and partying into the wee hours with their coworkers. Are we now saying an employer is liable for any comments made during what was obviously a social gathering?

Is that wrong? are we not supposed to do that? I thought we were supposed to celebrate diversity? What better way than to make a little swirl action?

Read the article, genius.
quote:
Barghouty says within her first few weeks on the job, Larsen was asking her to meet him at his home in Venice Beach. She thought it was strange, but he was her boss so she complied. As she waited outside his house, she texted a friend her location—“like how you tell a friend before a Tinder date in case you get murdered”—when a shirtless Larsen walked up and told her to come wait inside his bungalow while he took a shower.

I don't hate Vice at all. Its a news on demand service. I simply avoid the political narrative stories and opt for their incredible war corresponding and foreign affairs reports

In 2011 a chick in a south Texas bar grabbed my dick. Even though I ended up banging her i think I need to track her down and file a sexual assault lawsuit
