THAT’S the end game. Get the country into an uproar over the issue, have mueller get BS indictments, then go for the jugular.

Is it just me? I honestly feel ambivalent about all this. I felt ambivalent about Weinstein, who got the ball rolling.

I don't feel in an uproar. If anything, I'm fed up -- with these women, not the men. This is getting to be Pervert of the Day. These women have numbed me.

I'm also a woman who was harassed in my younger days. But I would never bother pointing fingers now. Why? Because I have to take some of the blame.

I don't defend the behavior of any of these guys. They sound like creeps. But maybe had some of these women behaved more modestly, or avoided being around these guys, the number of incidents might have been reduced.

I'm bothered when women claim harassment or even rape, yet continued to socialize with these guys, or benefited professionally or financially. To complain years later seems not only hypocritical, but exploitative.

The feminists might be shooting themselves in the foot with this one. Especially if they are trying to work their way up to Trump. They have been giving fellow liberals and allies a black eye by discrediting many.

I agree across the board.

I’ve worked in some pretty racy departments where the women were incredibly forward. One even at on my lap!!

All liberals in a graphics dept at an invetment bank.

But I kept my hands and my comments to myself.

I know a gal who “tested” men’s will power by getting naked on the first date but not letting them touch her, at HIS apartment.

Just crazy.

They shot themselves in the foot long ago.

This is exactly how I feel. I have been in uncomfortable situations and dealt with them as an adult. How I reacted was on me. The idea that I would say something 25 or 30 years later would never occur to me! I just do not understand. I also acknowledge that some incidents were somewhat my fault. This is making me roll my eyes and then have them glaze over. That is not good because there are real victims out there who will be marginalized due to the witch hunts.

To be very blunt but both the men and women who put up with treatment for future financial gain are whores or sluts. A women or man attacked sexually (not talking about young children) should yell, scream and fight back or on some level they’ve consented to the activity. Bringing it up 20 years later gets no sympathy from me.

On the other hand, the left has created this neat little box of sexual harassment for themselves and I’m all in favor of applying Rule 4 of Rules for Radicals: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” I’m going to stick it to them every chance I get while I apply a more realistic standard to my own side. The left’s version of morality is garbage and I will not live by it.

I’m a man who was viciously abused as a child for years. It’s made relationships extremely difficult and shaped me in many ways I would not have chosen. It offends me to the core when some byotch says she went out with the Judge fooled around a little and it scarred her for life. She can KMA. Not just her - but they all pull this. He touched my boob and now I can never trust a man again, blah blah blah.
