First, let me just say that I'm not okay with rape or unwanted touching, or truly inappropriate behavior. Let all those bastards who've done those things get called out, and face the music. I have no issues with that. However, two aspects of this "trend" are bothering me: 1) Simple allegations seem to be enough to convict people in the public court of opinion. For example, in one of the articles above, it says that Roy Moore was accused today of doing something inappropriate 38 years ago. And today, THE SAME DAY, folks like John McCain are saying that he needs to step aside. WTF? OK, I understand that he'll probably never actually get tried in a real court for this alleged misdeed, but can't we wait for some actual facts?? 2) Things that I consider to be normal courtship rituals or simply tasteless comments have suddenly become crimes or near-crimes. I worry that we're getting so PC that soon you won't be able to flirt . . . I guess we'll all just need to have arranged marriages. For example, I heard a story on NPR the other day. A woman went to a conference, and after one of the speeches she approached the speaker to talk to him. He turned to her and said, "Would you like to come to my hotel room tonight?". She was very upset by this, and some years later she was able to prevent him from getting an executive job at her company (Citibank, I think?). So . . . I get it, the guy was a tasteless douche, but is that really "inappropriate" behavior that merits punishment? I dunno, it just feels like it's being taken too far in some cases. I gotta say I agree with the cake eater but I'm actually thinking that if a woman makes accusations that can send a man to jail she should be subject to twice the jail time if the claims are proven false! I also believe that after the statute of limitations has expired "it's over". If ya can't bring it up in immediately then you lose all credibility (kinda like Michael Bennett and Las Vegas but that's another story) Prior to getting married I found that if ya didn't ask, ya rarely got laid so at the door I was known to suggest a night cap... In todays world some of these accusers are basically calling that out of line... Holy shit, I am so glad I don't have to go through that shit today!

Can I file sexual harassment charges against every female that has ever hugged me? I’m uncomfortable getting hugs.

I can see gun grabbers trying to get a law passed banning anyone who has had a harassment claim filed against them from owning a gun.

What if you sexually abuse yourself? Will they come after you for that? I'll have to pay myself off to stay quiet!

There is such a thing as sexual assault. BUT..... I have an issue with women who scream SEXUAL ASSAULT if some guy grabs their ass. THAT is NOT sexual assault. It is grabbing a womans ass. Harassment maybe, but not an assault. This shit is getting way out of hand. How many of us at one time or another has grabbed a woman's ass, I wonder? I guess that makes us sex offenders. Jesus H......

Depends if you are a grabbing a strangers Ass or a Woman you are "Friends" with. Either way, an unwanted grab is pretty much an assault upon their Person.
