“Some of these women need to grow up and learn how to handle themselves.
And some of these men need to learn how to handle themselves more privately.”
There will always be jerks. One of Lauer’s accusers said he told her to unbutton her blouse, which she did, and then he bent her over his desk and had sex with her (she was even married). Why did she participate? There was apparently no force involved. She just did it, and now, some time later, she is complaining about it. I don’t get it. There are lines you don’t cross, even to keep your job.
Yes, I can understand how a man would NOT understand that timidity some women have. I had it when I was yunger, and I’m still fairly sensitive but grew stronger with age. Very few (but probably some) young men would bend over and let their famous male boss have his way with them. But many women would be terrified not to. It’s just the truth. It’s why we do need men protecting us. And it wouldn’t only be for the job. She’d be too scared to push the confrontation or to even hear the threat.
The kind of terror a little girl feels over small things like a spider is real. I’ve had three sons before a daughter came along and this girl thing is so different.
