Dating -- Forced Subjugation Style

Well, I guess we know how they find dates in in Russia. They do it wrong. And the men are condoned for it.

An unnamed executive, a 22-year-old from St Petersburg, had been hoping to become only the third woman in Russia's history to bring a successful sexual harassment action against a male employer.

She alleged she had been locked out of her office after she refused to have intimate relations with her 47-year-old boss.

"He always demanded that female workers signalled to him with their eyes that they desperately wanted to be laid on the boardroom table as soon as he gave the word," she earlier told the court. "I didn't realise at first that he wasn't speaking metaphorically."

The judge said he threw out the case not through lack of evidence but because the employer had acted gallantly rather than criminally.

"If we had no sexual harassment we would have no children," the judge ruled.

Jesus. Who would want to have children in that environment? Nobody wants to have a daughter knowing that she's ultimately going to become a victim of sexual harassment in furtherance of propagating the species. Hell -- they aren't species, they're fucking assholes.
