...EXCELLENT POST!....
Maybe the winds of real change...are starting to blow.
For too long, all too many men and women have just accepted disgusting behavior like this while hiding behind an attitude of...
"well, men are like that and we just need to accept it."
As the proud father of a daughter and two sons...they have all been taught differently.
Many companies, including Fox and CBS, should be complimented for their willingness to take decisive action...even when it hurts their fiscal bottom line.
As for politicians, it's not quite as easy to just fire them for the same things, but decent Americans need to immediately QUIT MAKING EXCUSES for these men (and potentially some women)...based on who they like or what party they belong to.
Have there been women who have made false accusations?
Of course there have been.
Are there 100 of times more incidents where women have stayed silent, because they saw how other women were attacked and savaged for speaking up?
Oh yeah...you can take that to the bank.
I guess what surprises me the most, are the women who attack the actual victims and stick up for the harassers...based solely on their own bias'.
Anyway, as I mentioned above, I hope this is the beginning of the end for the acceptance of this behavior...REGARDLESS of how much the person doing it is liked.
Given certain recent situations where the person has not only not suffered the consequences, but is still popular with a certain demographic...I'm still ambivalent on whether that will actually happen though.
