We also have another sexual predator in the White House now.

Bill Cosby and now Harvey Weinstein are nobody's darling. Clinton got off easy. He became a hectamillionaire, is on the lecture circuit and is beloved by Democrats, and probably some GOP voters. Clinton got off easy in comparison to Coz or Weinstein.
The jury is still out on 45 to see if he gets off easy or not as his story is not finished yet. Moliere is probably correct though, the religious right may have forgiven Bush, and the libs would have condemned him.
And I am not defending 45, but has he done so while he is in the White House?"Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

I feel for those that have been posting the #metoo stuff. I'm shocked by the sheer volume of it on Facebook in fact.
I believe part of it is excruciatingly true. I believe part of it is bandwagoning. I believe part of it is "look at me".
But I'm a white male....so it doesn't matter!

There are no easy fixes for this. One could use draconian measures such as criminalizing romantic fraternization in the workplace, but that is unlikely to be adopted."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

As a cisgender white male, I wouldn’t even dare post a response in support of any of them, but it’s been a good movement to point out a problem in society. I’ll also note that I’m glad I went through the flirting/dating phase before social media and viral stuff like this.
I will add that within running circles, it seems that thins are even worse. I’m sure it has to do with typical exercise gear, which is by design minimal (thus revealing) but the number g catcalls and sexually explicit comments women runners endure is alarming. Thankfully I usually run at 5am when no one else is out so I avoid any catcalls that would otherwise come my way...

Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

If they truly wanted to eliminate it occurring, one would criminalize workplace fraternization, and even one wanted to really change society, make any flirtation unwanted hate speech, because of its potential for sexual harassment. Of course, that is absurd, draconian and not likely endorsed by anybody except the true crusaders. Nonetheless, the harassment women apparently suffer amazes me because I would have thought men would have awakened after the Anita Hill incident."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

This may have already been posted. I didn't see it. The sheer volume (of those willing to come forward) of Weinstein accusers is shocking.

A few examples:
Originally posted by Lysette AnthonyHe pushed me inside and rammed me up against the coat rack in my tiny hall and started fumbling at my gown. He was trying to kiss me and shove inside me... Finally I just gave up. At least I was able to stop him kissing me. As he ground himself against me, I kept my eyes shut tight, held my breath, just let him get on with it. He came over my leg like a dog and then left.Originally posted by Vu Thu PhuongEverything suddenly turned dark when I saw Mr. Harvey Weinstein standing before me with only a towel around his waist, smiling." He asked her if she was ready to star in a few sex scenes... "I can teach you, don’t worry. Many stars have also been through this," Weinstein reassured Phuong... “Just treat this as necessary experiences so that you’ll have a stronger foundation in the future.Originally posted by Sophie DixOnce in the hotel room, "all the alarm bells starting ringing" and "within a heartbeat" she found herself pushed on the bed with him "tugging at her clothes." The young actor, who was 22 at the time, says that she managed to bolt to the bathroom and after some time in hiding opted to make an escape. She opened the door and found him facing her "standing there masturbating.Originally posted by Rosana ArquetteWeinstein opened the door wearing a white bathrobe. Weinstein said that his neck was sore and that he needed a massage. She told him that she could recommend a good masseuse. “Then he grabbed my hand,” she said. He put it on his neck. When she yanked her hand away... Weinstein grabbed it again and pulled it toward his penis, which was visible and erect...
Weinstein told her that she was making a huge mistake by rejecting him
