Why aren’t people fighting back when assaulted by these perverts and woman-abusing losers?

I wonder too why these “ladies” aren’t fighting back and telling these pervs where to get off—I am a 100 pound lady lawyer, been around mainly men all my life. I am not taking any of that kind of guff lying down, and I am not married to any particular job. There are other jobs. And I don’t particularly care whether anyone believes me or not. If I say it happened, it happened. Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.

“Why aren’t people fighting back when assaulted by these perverts and woman-abusing losers?”

I posted this on another thread:

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.

I don’t get why these women are letting men get away with this. In the case above, it appears to me she was a willing participant. I unconditionally condemn rape, but why, if the actions are so insulting, don’t the women handle it then instead of waiting years to make an accusation? There are probably thousands of lawyers who would love to sue a major television network on behalf of these women.

We have two major cultural imperatives that make this:
1 - we don’t like to make a scene
2 - we deify celebrities as the best of us

Those add up to make it so that if she fought back she’d immediately be the bad guy (made a scene) and people wouldn’t believe her (but Al’s famous).
