1. I was thinkin castration... and not the chemical kind.

2. trouble is, that only stops one kind of sexual predation.

5. Okay then, while I'm opposed to the death penalty, I might consider makin an

exception in that dickhead's case.

3. Can not be stopped!

It is built into American culture. Boys hear all the time from other boys how many girls they have bedded down.

Harvey is not a handsome man. He probably had bad luck with girls during his teens. So, when he became rich and powerful, he made up for it.

4. are you okay with this defeatist belief?

6. It is better to admit reality than

live in a dream world wearing rose colored glasses.
Sexual harassment of good looking young females is not going away by wishful thinking. Like I said, it is American culture. Talk to me in 5 years, and I will show you 500 more cases of prominent sexual harassment cases. Not on the scale of Harvey Weinstein, but Google & other search engines will show what is going on.

7. so we sit by and do nothing, because it is the culture. what a load of codswallop.

this kind of thinking is, in fact, a blatant approval of sexual harassment, assault, etc. thanks a lot.

there are sites where that kind of approval is okay.

8. Sexual harassment is NOT ok by me

but I am not powerful enough to change American culture. I have 2 daughters in mid-20's getting started in their careers. So it is a huge concern. My best option is to advise them and guide them. Luckily one of them is a lawyer, so knows legal remedies better than me.

9. the attitude you expressed here is certainly NOT going to change the culture. standing by

saying, doing nothing, because you are only one person, is NOT an acceptable excuse.
