Have a nice cry and you'll feel a lot better.

I am not emotional about this at all. You need more analytical ability to engage here. Is flirting now a reason to resign from office? Maybe so.

If you don't see your OP as rife with emotional language then you're in denial.

Please point out the emotional language. Prove it.

Furthermore, you can be both liberal and misogynistic. It's not a binary situation.

Of course. However intelligence matters and so far none of you have offered any.

Trump survived office just fine.

Furthermore, your headline... 'The Me Too Movement has gotten absurd'? Why, exactly? Because men are being held accountable for actions which–at times–results in ramifications?

This makes no sense but go off, sis.

OK so what are the rules? Do you know the rules? Please state them if you can. You aren’t particularly bright either as you just acknowledged that Trump did not resign so apparently no accountable there.

I'd discuss further but it's clear from your replies that you have no actual motive to engage in dialogue. You are merely responding with 'you are not too bright' when people don't agree with you.

Good luck.

The rule are you can't use you power to try to seduce a women 40 years younger than yourselves. 20 year old women don't want to flirt with grandpa. Men who try to do this are no better than 25 year old who try to groom 15 year olds.

Are you sure those are the rules? I have NEVER heard of those being rules. Where is that written down?

You have acknowledged implicitly that you too do not know the rules. Thanks for sort of playing.

OK I admit I am left of center politically and therefore am a bit biased in favor of someone like Al Franken or Andrew Cuomo BUT why should Franken have resigned and why should Cuomo resign? What did Cuomo do that was so awful? It seems to me the worst thing he has done is maybe he is being a bit deceptive about being a bit creepy around younger women. Is this really so bad? Maybe I am wrong but one gets to the point where one is labeled something and there are no gradations of transgressions. Certainly it seems Bill Clinton, JFK and the like could never have survived in office today.

It's amazing the double standard you can apply when it's someone on your side of the aisle. I'm sure you were rushing to say lets wait and see the facts during the Kavanaugh hearings.

As far as Franken I thought that one was overdone at the time and I think most reasonable people don't think he should have had to resign.

Cuomo is completely different, is being accused of making unwanted advances on women who he had power over in the workplace as given his position. This includes kissing a woman who did not want to be kissed. There are likely more that either will continue to come out, or are afraid to come out given we had the one in the fall, and now there are several. Especially given Cuomo's vocal me 2 support in the past.

The truth is the Democrats are now rallying behind this for a clear political motive. They could care less about the me 2 aspect. Cuomo's nursing home debacle has become a major political liability given they held him up as captain covid for the past year. If he goes down for that it will start turning attention to other awful Democratic governors in states that have been celebrated such as New Jersey, Michigan, or Pennsylvania that made similar mistakes. This is all about damage control and the allegations have been the perfect distraction from Cuomo's disastrous COVID policy.

You fell into the trap I set. So predictable. I already acknowledged that I am a bit biased. Try to post something more intelligent than to accuse me of bias after I acknowledged it.

I think your title is wrong. The movement has never been absurd and hasn’t gotten absurd. We have to normalize women(or anyone) coming out and calling out behaviours that are unacceptable. That’s what the movement is about, normalizing it.

What is unacceptable? To whom? This is not black and white. Or is it? Please explain if you can.

The MeToo movement got absurd when it favored Joe Biden and wouldn't listen to Tara Reade. So much for believe all women. It was a sad day for female victims of sexual assault. They lost out, and actually all of us did.

I can try,

flirting, touching, kissing, exposing oneself and so forth when you are in a position of power or authority. Work places are meant for work. If you absolutely need to engage in these manners at work, something is wrong with your life and should look into it because no one deserves to be on the sh!tty end of it.
