At least three former and one current California congresswomen have come forward alleging sexual harassment and groping from colleagues, adding to the growing list of women coming out against powerful men.
Former California Sen. Barbara Boxer described an incident where a male colleague made a sexually suggestive comment about her from the dais at a hearing in the 1980s, which was met with general laughter and an approving second from the committee chairman.
"This is about power,'" Boxer said. “That was an example of the way I think we were thought of, a lot of us. ... It's hostile and embarrasses, and therefore could take away a person's power,'' she said.
For years, Republican Rep. Mary Bono endured increasingly suggestive comments from a fellow lawmaker in the House of Representatives. But when the congressman approached her on the House floor and told her he'd been thinking about her in the shower, she'd had enough.
I’m Spartacus!
Boxer? I wouldn’t f her with your d.
They’re trying to drown out Weinstein and Hollywood by saturating the media and portraying every girl as victims of sexual harassment.
“That was an example of the way I think we were thought of, a lot of us. .<<<
You go Girl...*G*
Stevie Wonder is guilty!
Me too, me too. I went to a Weinstein produced film and some weirdo on the screen looked at me funny.
Its just a free for all now.
Who would grope Barbara Boxer if they weren’t hopped-up on psychoactive drugs or threatened with a gun?
Perhaps Babs got too close to Moonbeam decades ago, ya think?
I’m bored.....
If someone harassed Babs Boxer it definitely was all about “power” because it most certainly wasn’t about sexual attraction!!!
I am highly suspicious that this could be true. She is ugly as a box car and too ugly for even the most vile pervert to hit on.
At least Harvey Weinstein seems to have had good taste in women.
Babs Boxer????? Never!!!!
I thought the same thing two days ago.
They are going to try to dilute the issue through multiplicity.
Words escape me on this one. If I didn’t see this in
print........Well, ? Better leave it at that.
Good point.
And how many of these “harassers” were Democrats?
None of these women seemed to have a problem extolling the virtues of the Great Women’s Rights Advocate and well known misogynist Teddy Kennedy. AKA the co inventor of the famous waitress sandwich.
Boxer is just another self righteous liberal hypocrite. Any man that grabbed her hoo ha probably got a finger or two bitten off.
What next....Fauxcahontas claims some guy peeked under her loincloth 80 years ago?
I mean, if you haven’t been groped, propositioned, raped, fondled, wolf-whistled, felt up, demeaned or objectified you just aren’t authentically down with the struggle.....
