I am a woman. When I was about 14, I had a pastor make inappropriate, uh, actions, I guess. I left. I suppose it could have been “devastating” but it wasn’t. I knew he was wrong and knew to avoid being alone with him again. Was I shocked? Yes. Especially cuz I was a fairly naive 14 year old. But, I knew how to deal with it.
That said, I have stopped believing most of these accusations. If, at 14, I knew how to deal with the situation, seriously....If a drunk guy groped me when I was 17, I would probably have decked him or kicked him.
I am so done.
Good for you! This frenzy has to stop. Either press charges so the truth has a chance of coming out in court it keep your damned mouth shut.
I can’t stand Franken but I’m not sure he should have tarred and feathered over his sick and unfunny comedy. He’s not a Weinstein.
I was 17 and it was a guy on the combine crew I was working with. I kneed him in the groin, picked up a tractor wrench and informed him next time I wouldn’t be so nice. I didn’t even tell the boss but somebody did because the Farm owner (my grandfather) asked me about it when I came in from the field that night. He asked why I didn’t tell him and I responded “I didn’t see the need, I took care of it”.
