Democrats and Republicans alike, are falling from grace. Sexual harassment charges are being handed out like candy on Halloween. Granted, it is turning out that most of the perverts are leftists (except Bill Clinton, of course, whose defense of challenging the definition of the word "is" remains to this day to be considered both brilliant, and the butt of many jokes). The sensitivity is so high, right now, however, that cases like that of Congressman Trent Franks of Arizona, who didn't necessarily commit sexual harassment, per se, but has decided to resign because he discussed with two female staffers surrogacy, are even beginning to emerge. Franks, and his wife, have been unable to conceive children, and so he had those discussions, and as the House Ethics Committee reviewed the complaints, Franks realized his actions would likely be distorted, so to spare his family the pain of the attacks that would likely ensue, he decided to resign.
Senator Al Franken, a democrat out of Minnesota and a comedian out of Saturday Night Live, resigned from the U.S. Senate last Thursday over accusations of sexual misconduct. During his resignation speech, he stated some of the accusations weren't true, and others he remembered differently, but the photograph of him grabbing the chest of a military member while she slept was the one that did him under. Eight women, in total, have come forward with accusations against Franken.
Franken's decision to resign followed pressure from his own colleagues that he step down. Franken, in his farewell, said he could not be an effective senator while under investigation. While he claimed he had done nothing to bring "dishonor" to the Senate, and in his final speech on the Senate Floor he also expressed confidence that an ethics panel would have cleared him, he also went after President Trump and Republican Roy Moore (who is being accused of sexual impropriety from 39 years ago, and is up against Democrat Doug Jones in a special Senate Election on December 12 in Alabama).
The cat was let out of the bag with the Democrat liberal leftist establishment and media going after Roy Moore. According to the accusations, as a young man of 32, Roy Moore, who was back then a registered Democrat in the State of Alabama whose age of consent is 16 (but according to the Democrats, people don't grow, mature, and change as they get older - then again, their most prominent example is lifelong pervert Bill Clinton) made advances on young teenage girls (only one has truly claimed those advances were sexual - who claims to have been 14 at the time, but the evidence has been questionable at best) and therefore he is some kind of child molester and should not serve in the U.S. Senate.
Trump faced multiple accusations of sexual misconduct and harassment during his presidential run last year.
It's what the Democrats do. Whenever they feel challenged, they either accuse someone of sexual misconduct, or racism. Of course, we must remember that these perverts on the left who are being exposed for sexual harassment also slammed Vice President Mike Pence for his policy of not dining with a woman other than his wife unless his wife is present.
That all said, some of the sexual harassment cases emerging are quite shocking.
According to one report, Matt Dababneh, a Democratic legislator from Los Angeles, allegedly trapped lobbyist Pamela Lopez in a bathroom at a Las Vegas hotel in January 2016 and forced her to watch him commit sexual self-gratification.
Representative John Conyers has been hit with multiple allegations regarding sexual misconduct, and like a good authoritarian, after announcing his retirement he announced his replacement would be his own son. Uh, wait, isn't there supposed to be an election, or something like that?
In October 2017, former staffer Elise Flynn Gyore alleged that Raul Bocanegra "put his hands into her blouse" outside of a bathroom at a Sacramento night club. Bocanegra later resigned as majority whip of the California State Assembly following sexual harassment allegations made by six women.
We aren't even throwing into the list the news media and Hollywood. Weinstein comes to mind, but I guess his case was the one that threw the largest flaming piece of furniture on the sexual harassment bonfire.
Bill Cosby is now a big fan of Harvey Weinstein, I am sure. Nothing like a bigger piece of garbage to appear so as to move the spotlight.
Here's the thing, though. Are we getting too sensitive? Don't get me wrong, sexual harassment is a big deal, but are we allowing this latest plague of sexual harassment allegations to poison our society to the point that a guy is afraid to compliment a woman's appearance? How is this good for women when, the men who may help them rise in the ranks of whatever they do are too afraid to associate with them for fear of being accused of sexual harassment?
The reality is, like with political correctness and the sensitivities of the snowflakes, if we become too sensitive there will be a) those who unfairly take advantage of the situation, and b) those who will become too careful for fear of the situation.
How is that good for women, and society in general?
