[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 407254, member: 265"] Now, now. I think the recent #MeToo movement is based on two things. First and foremost, most women have to really screw their courage to the sticking point to allege a rape. The almost automatic reaction is that "she must have led him on" or something like that. Women of my generation (i.e. the women who accused Roy Moore) rightly fear the damage that will do to their lives and that hasn't changed too much since. This is ye olde double standard at work. Second, I believe it is true that many people swallow abuses of various types to keep their jobs and advance their careers. Women - and not just in Hollywood - are particularly susceptible to a proposed quid pro quo involving sexual advances. This is egregious and should not happen. But to blame women for it isn't just and depending on ye olde double standard to keep safe from their complaints isn't right either. I don't know what'll happen with Gotsis. My guess is that the charge is too old to stand up to an initial review. That doesn't mean it didn't happen just as the young woman involved said or that his denial isn't true; it may, however, be impossible to prove at this point. But this isn't a matter of salacious sexual rumors. These kinds of thing happen all the time and they shouldn't. It's dishonorable. [/QUOTE]
