In Today’s World – Would I – Would You Take The Chance?
I
have a wife, daughter, and granddaughter. I want them to have a fair
and equal opportunity. I want to know if they are attacked, justice will
be done. But the world has changed dramatically and not for the better.
Now
imagine, I own a business. It is doing well, and I am in need of an
assistant. I have just witnessed what false charges have done to the
nomination of a supreme Court Judge. I read the headlines. Four dentists
accused of rape, totally false charges. I have seen many college
students wrongly accused of sexual impropriety, and had their lives
destroyed.
Do I take the chance in today’s world and hire a female?
Honestly,
as things stand today, I would not. I would hire a man over a women,
even if less qualified. Every day working alone in a business with
woman. Knowing, no matter what happens I could lose everything. I would
not want to risk the possible consequences of a disgruntled employee
making a false accusation. I would feel the same, if I had a small
all-male team. The overawing danger to the business and each of the men
would outweigh the benefit. And that is sad, because just a few weeks
ago, I would have. But today I would be terrified to work alone, in my
business with a woman. Knowing what one word from her would do.
The
fact is that today, a man is guilty, until he can prove, he is
innocent. And even when completely exonerated, the damage to character
is irreparable. My wife proved that to me just this morning. She said,
“I don’t believe he did it, but if he did he better watch out now.
Everyone will be watching him.” Not right but it is the world today.
