“Those pressing the issue are damaging the left and the right, but more so on the left and I see these stories coming to a halt soon.”
It has gone beyond that, I’m afraid.
I retired a year ago, but I am still in contact with several people who are still working. A lot of the men I’ve spoken with recently said that many of the men in positions of authority, and many who are not, are walking on eggshells, wondering if they had told a risqué joke at an office party ten years ago, or had accidentally bumped into a woman when the elevator lurched. They are dead serious. They said they have never seen an atmosphere like this before. Some of them are considering taking an early retirement because the stress of not only losing their jobs, but having their careers and reputations ruined is getting to be too much.
I'm glad I'm not subjected to an office environment. If so, I too would be strongly considering getting out.
