re: #56 Eclectic Cyborg

That many women and it took THIS long to get that fucker nailed?

Damn…makes you wonder how many more we don’t know about.

Better question:

Why does it take more than 1 accusation to take any allegation of sex harassment, abuse, or discrimination seriously?

There’s strength in numbers here. But with 300+ women coming forward, that’s a rate that means he’s spending practically all his time harassing women or worse.

With Trump, a dozen women came forward, and the GOP elected him president anyways.

Ailes harassed women. O’Reilly harassed women. Weinstein did the same - but it took more than one allegation to end them.

Meanwhile, these privileged white guys (and they’re invariably rich and powerful white guys) can harass and know they can get away with it because who would believe a lone voice in the wilderness. Even when a few come forward, they’re treated to a gauntlet of attacks on their credibility. We saw that with Trump and others as well.

That all has to change, but it wont be overnight either.
