Four female senators shared personal experiences of sexual harassment Sunday in support of the #MeToo movement formed in the wake of the widespread Harvey Weinstein abuse allegations.
Sens. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.) revealed on NBC’s “Meet the Press” the sexist behavior they faced before becoming powerful politicians in Washington.

I spoke to him through the window and did not let him in. The next morning when I got to work, he had concocted some stupid story about why he accidentally showed up at my door'
Did I consider myself sexually harassed? Not really. But guess what, I had a job that was more important than my looks. Didn't need to play that game.
I often talk to other professional women about this. Harassment is not a problem if you worth is more than your looks. You just don't have to play the game.
But this stuff will continue as women gain employment titles equal to men. It really comes down to, Did you earn your title via your hard work or your looks?
Of course not, but I also can’t help but wonder about the validity of the claims.
Sometimes harassment is in the mind of the beholder.
If someone wants to take offense at some slight, they will find it and take it, even when there is none.
Could be just another smear campaign to try to make non-liberals look bad.
I see this crazy broad as a somewhat buck-toothed, cross-eyed squaw , with the single feather sticking up in the head band(and glasses) seeing the handsome, intrepid white man held captive as she emerges from her teepee and yells “It’s a MAN!’’ and gives chase.
“I’ve fallen, and can’t get up!”
“You have to have something a harasser wants...”
Hallucinogenic drug use must be a bigger problem up there at The Capitol than we’ve been led to believe, and it must be some REALLY powerful s#!+ — I mean, to see THAT and the drugs make you think you want it...?
DAAYYuuummm!!
Just the suggestion of these RATs in the rack, is a "horror story".
Shy Anne says Warren is telling tall tales.
And the Left continually spouts these contradictions! You can't get through the day without any two talking heads contradicting one another in the most somber and grave tones.
Why yes, sexually anything with Warren would be a horror.;
I see a huge ripple effect. No male will want to work in Hollywood, Washington, Silicon Valley, etc., out of desire to avoid these chip-on-their-shoulder types.
No conservative female, either. I once worked with an SJW woman who was bipolar (as I believe many of them are). It was hellish; she flew off the handle constantly and I dreaded coming to work. I was redeemed only when she had a breakdown and never returned.
While I don't condone Weinstein's behavior, I think these women may have shot themselves in the foot by publicizing it en masse. Now that everyone has jumped onto the bandwagon they will create hostile work environments, driving everyone away.

Ted Kennedy
Robert Kennedy
John Kennedy
Chris Dodd
and on and on
NOW said that the first grope is free and that the boss can f*** the secretary. What’s the big deal all of the sudden?
They're Democrats.
Which means the men they worked for were probably
...Democrats.
Just like Hollywood is overwhelmingly run by
...Democrats.
I think I detect a trend.
Why didn't someone Warren me??
Could someone PLEASE explain this picture to me? I’d sure appreciate it. Thanks.
(But, seriously, I really can't explain it to you. I've seen many versions of it posted here and there, some involving Obama too, but I honestly don't know the true explanation of the picture. I just found it by doing a Google search.)
I wouldn’t even put a flag over their heads and “Do it for My Country”... My Patriotism only goes so far... and some things go way beyond Duty...
Each one... the Anti-Viagra... good lord...

Warren, a former law professor, said a senior faculty member invited her to his office and made sexual advances during her first teaching job. “He slammed the door and lunged for me. It was like a bad cartoon. He’s chasing me around the desk, trying to get his hands on me,” Warren said. “After several rounds, I jumped for the door and got out and I went back to my office and just sat and shook and thought: ‘What have I done to bring this on?’”
Well, with him being blind maybe your perfume turned him on.
Now McCrapskull
As a young Missouri state lawmaker, McCaskill sought advice from a male leader on getting her legislation passed. “I cautiously approached the very powerful speaker of the Missouri House of Representatives,” McCaskill recalled. “…He looked at me and paused and he said, ‘Well, did you bring your kneepads?'” “I do think he was joking, but it was shocking that he would make that joke to a colleague,” she said.
No Claire, that's not shocking.
The media isn't saying anything but this Speaker would have been Bob F. Griffin (D), who was later convicted on federal corruption charges and had his sentence commuted by Bill Clinton.
Now Heidi
Heitkamp said as a state attorney general, she encountered resistance to her efforts to curb domestic violence. A law enforcement official “put his finger in my face and he said, ‘Listen here, men will always beat their wives and you can’t stop ‘em.'”
Um, that's not sexual harassment, dear, that was a political disagreement.
Hirono
Hirono, a lawyer and former state politician in Hawaii, said unwanted sexual advances have been all too common in her life. “I’ve been propositioned by teachers, by my colleagues, and you name it,” she said.
She may have been good looking 40 years ago, so I buy that. But if hitting on a chick is "harassment" well. How come you aren't accusing your husband of harassment?
