(51,276 posts)6. I wrote something similar yesterday and several DU responders thought
it was awful that I didn't report harassment.
I said if I'd reported every guy who had tried to kiss me during my career with a very large male dominated corporation, it would have been over 100 reports. In the 60s and 70s, it was the way things worked and I wouldn't have had a job.
Things have changed. Sexual harassment was named in the 80s and some people haven't changed their way of thinking about hitting on people. But not all of it is criminal.
If Franken is forced out, I'm done with the Democrats.

Same here. I've considered raising the point but thought it would be misunderstood.

I agree with you. The one woman said she was in fear because he touched her waist for a photo.

It is testimony like yours that makes me positively hate the concept of "zero tolerance."

I have delivered several sermons that demonized the evils of "zero tolerance."

My history exactly. These people forcing Franken out are not helping anyone.

Thank you. I have gone through plenty of unwanted touching, it was never worth fussing for long

I totally agree. I too have experienced the full gamut, from overly grabby to rape.

I identify with you completely; the Franken railroading is not just insulting, it's retraumatizing

His accusers are all questionable. The first one crosses into perjury territory
