Trump Wages War On Women: Silences Accusers

[Valerie]

this rule applies not just to women but to all workers...

 

[OKTexas]

The White House has been trying to shut women up this whole time.

To the droves of women speaking up about sexual harassment and discrimination, the Trump administration’s message is clear: Shut-up.

Behind-the-scenes, and mostly through executive orders, the White House is making it harder for women to report sexual harassment and fight sex discrimination.

The clearest example came in March. It received little coverage at the time. President Donald Trump reversed an Obama-era order that forbid federal contractors from keeping secret sexual harassment and discrimination cases. The 2014 rule prohibited these companies, which employ about 26 million people, from forcing workers to resolve complaints through arbitration, an increasingly common method businesses use to settle disputes out of the public eye.

“This was a clear sign of the administration silencing women,” said Jessica Stender, senior staff attorney for Equal Rights Advocates, a women’s rights nonprofit.

And it’s only a small piece of the picture. “The Trump administration has a clear anti-women agenda,” Stender said. “I say that with complete certainty. This is an all-out, full frontal attack on women.”

The attack so far has seen the most success via executive order, but a vast swath of the public policies proposed or endorsed by administration officials attempt to scale back women’s rights. From Trump’s repeal of executive orders meant to reduce pay discrimination to the budget floated in May, the failed repeal of Obamacare, and now the Republican tax bills, actions taken or backed by this administration harm women.

This war on women comes at a time when feminist ideals have never seemed more powerful. Finally, sexual assault victims are being heard and believed. Sexual predators like Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein are facing real consequences, losing their jobs, their movie deals, their companies. And, though it’s hard to believe now, the U.S. just last year came extremely close to electing its first female president.

In this atmosphere, the Trump administration’s actions look remarkably like a real-time backlash to the growing assertion of female power. The assault on women began almost instantly after the primal female scream that was the women’s march in January.

Trump has and is proving that he is very much anti-women - and women are wising up to him.

How much is the Huffy post paying you for posting their click bait? Maobama panders to plaintiffs attorneys and you think it's a good thing, NOT.


.

These types of posts are the quintessential example of the Right's attitude toward women. If it were up to you, we'd be back in Victorian times where women were property and were treated like children--they should be seen but not heard.

Nope, just don't like ambulance chasing plaintiffs lawyers. Your commiecrat politicians just love to pander to them and they get paid handsomely for it.

Apparently the White House isn't powerful enough to shut down the news Juggernaut that is the Huffington Post. Think about it logically for one second the majority of the media loath Trump you can tell by the daily avalanche of negativity that comes from that area. Do you actually believe if they had something on the Trump administration either false or true they would accept any influence from the WH in burying it. Its not the Obama administration or Clinton camp where all they have to do was ask

Making it harder to report sexual discrimination and harassment how?

I don't know anything about this order, but from your OP, it seems that DumBama created an order that prohibited companies from settling their matters internally. Trump rescinding that order doesn't stop women from reporting discrimination or sexual harassment to authorities or seek compensation. It simply means that Trump is allowing companies to take care of their own business first.

learn to read, dum dum.


trump is effectively reestablishing an insider safety net for harassers and denying women their right to full legal protection.




"President Donald Trump reversed an Obama-era order that forbid federal contractors from keeping secret sexual harassment and discrimination cases.

No dummy. You learn how to read. Nobody can stop any American citizen from seeking legal protection if they are assaulted in any way. If a woman is assaulted or harassed by a male employee, and she is unhappy with company resolutions, she can file a complaint with authorities on that person if he did anything illegal.

What DumBama did was what he always has done during his eight years of torture. He once again decided to micromanage businesses he knows nothing about. The big-eared Commie never ran a hotdog stand in his life.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

You're projecting OP. It's your beloved Democrats who have proved to play the woman card while they prey on women.

It's similar liberal rhetoric about racism. Conservatives are racist cuz libs. say so.

Exactly. This isn't a war on women. A war on women is creating a policy that forces schools to allow boys in dresses to use your daughters bathroom, locker rooms and showers with her. That's a war on women. But liberals will never look at it that way because they are so closed minded.

The Misogynist-in-Chief is also attacking the rights and protected liberties of women through judicial appointments.

At least Trump isn't killing his distractors like the Clintons have done

no dum dum.. the FORCED internal arbitration is legally binding.

Even after what we saw from the Clintons and Conyers and Frankin the crazy angry left thinks that President Trump is at war with women. No surprise.

Fake accusers don't need to be merely silenced. Their place is in prison. This is a serious crime.

No dum-dum, it's not forced. By rescinding the order, it means it's back as an option. It still doesn't prohibit any female from taking further action outside of their company.

gawd


let's try this once more, trump rescinded a federal order that forbade federal contractors from forcing workers to resolve complaints through legally binding internal arbitration.

so now, yes it is "back as an option" for federal contractors to FORCE workers to resolve matters via internal arbitration which is legally binding...which is increasingly common method for businesses to settle disputes out of the public eye...and which is BAD news for workers who get harassed.
