    Everyone chill out on Rep. Rodney Davis. He did not say he will hire fewer women to avoid sexual harassment. He asked how to prevent other offices from doing that.

        How is this any better, honestly? His concerns over what "other offices" might do still focuses on the wrong problem and comes dangerously close to (if not overtly crossing over into) victim-blaming.

        What difference does that make? It's an idiotic thing to say in the 21st century, whether he's speaking for himself or for others.

        As one of his Constituents I can say Davis does not speak out on racism, sexism other important issues, he calls Constituents names, admits he ignores voters opinions and has no issue with lying on national TV, He is not an advocate for women but he is a great R puppet

        It still seems like he's offering it as a suggestion. The fact that he doesn't have a better solution than that at the ready is a serious problem in and of itself. Keeping your hands to yourselves is not that hard.

        I read it as concern trolling. He knows full well what professional behavior is, and that hiring women is not the problem - the men and their behavior are. Cart before the horse, derp.

        I can't imagine why he thinks his party needs to be restrained from treating women like a threat they can't restrain themselves from grabbing.

        Doesn't Rodney Davis' statement reveal how "Conservatives" think about preventing sexual harassment? Him & Mike Pence.

        No women = no problem. If that's the default "Conservative" approach to sexual harassment, isn't the solution to get rid of "Conservatives", not women?

        He's only worried his Republican colleagues will do it. Yeah, that's still a problem, especially given his habit of projection.
