Who cares? Sexually harassing one woman is one too many.
I hope the accusations aren't true.
I was making a point that they only care because it is a conservative. It does not have to be true.
There’s sexual harassment and then there is off color joking that is really just workplace banter. Some women have a super low threshold. I put up with a lot as a female engineer and gained respect as a result. The line isn’t that finely drawn if you have a sense of humor. A morally sound, mature minded woman can deflect quite a lot of it with ease. A thin skinned, prune face will wear the carpet out between her cubicle and the boss’ office over joking from her male colleagues.
I would need to know something about the accusers before I’d side against West. The type of charge and the timing are way too obvious.
