(37,648 posts)Remember the one against Franken...fan female at political event wants a selfie with Franken, he obliges and with his big smile leans in so their smiling heads are next to each other? Her "sexual harassment" claim is that he put his hand around her waist & grabbed some skin there.
Some other claims were iffy such that I didn't think they should be classified with real assault or harassment claims.
Most were genuine, but I do think it was getting out of hand a bit...in some claims by a few. When the men were probably, or maybe, just behaving normally and not in a harassing way at all. This would make anyone leery of being around someone who makes such allegations. I prefer that people focus on the serious claims...like against the Weinsteins, the Hoffmans, the Spaceys of the world. Bums who used their power to prey on the vulnerable.
I think Condi may not know the definition of the slang word "snowflake" these days. But I think she was referring to the appearance of women being incapable of taking care of themselves in the business world.
This doesn't take away from the seriousness of genuine and shocking claims that seem to be true...like the careers of Ashley Judd and Mira Sorvino being ruined by Weinstein. Tragic, what he did to them and probably others.
