the upside that came out in all this, that i can see a real advantage, is it allowed to the surface what has been denied, ignored, dismissed for way too long. the women in france have the opportunity here and now, to say certain behavior is not allowable. i read a lot at that time of the NY rape what the women in france were saying, and listening to experiences they have both socially and in the work environment. maybe, this will allow them a time to speak up.

I support trying rapists (when the rape is real) and also prosecuting sex harassment.
