I generally agree but when there's a photo of the perp groping a sleeping victim and smiling for the camera it kinda changes things.
It doesn’t change anything whatsoever for the people who defend every instance of past sexual assault. They have an agenda and they aren’t going to read the articles to evaluate them first.
Franken has admitted it, and as with most sexual harassers, there are probably more victims. And for the record, asking girls out on a date, is NOT sexual harassment. When I was single, guys I wasn’t interested in asked me out. It’s not a crime, even if the guy’s older than me. Creeps some girls out, while others are fine with it. But asking someone out, is not a crime. When I was a teenager, there was ONE shoe store at our mall. We liked the shoes, but it was creepy because the manager always waited on the teenage girls, and would inappropriately stroke our legs while fitting the shoes. THAT was creepy behavior. Once was enough for me. I told my sister, and she said, “everybody knows that creep always does that. Don’t go in there, again, if he’s there.” Who were we going to complain to? He was the manager. We couldn’t complain to our dads; we were certain they would literally, have killed the guy, and being inexperienced young teens, we figured that would be more embarrassing than it was worth, plus our dad would go to jail. My dad was not a mean guy, but I’m pretty sure he would have gone down there and pulverized the guy.
