Love when men tell me how I am supposed to think about and discuss sexual harassment. Also love the faux outrage when everyone is jumping on the bandwagon of shock and awe over Harvey, and all the wealthy, hypocritical women who covered up for him. Please don't pretend not to have known this goes in Hollywood on a daily basis. And you know what, all these people choose to live surrounded by other hypocrites and only speak up when they are shamed into it. I am not shocked or impressed by all the profiles in courage who are repeating the same outcries as during identical two week "crisis" over Charlottesville.
Want to help women? Lead by example and help create work environment where this is not tolerated. Advocate for individual women who are abused. Educate your kids on how to stand up to inappropriate behavior. Teach your daughters strength and self-respect. And don't stay silent when you see someone else, in academia, in politics, in law firms, engaged in supine behavior. Your internet courage of attacking me is not impressive. When I see you defending women, instead of attacking them, maybe then I will be incline to take mass condemnations seriously. But I can't now, when women's empowerment and safety is largely a rhetorical point for promoting political agendas by the usual suspects.
