Sorry, I hadn’t realized what a solemn role in such matters is played by the medical phrase “his big ol’ johnson”.

Count me as informed.

I would add that it seems to me a sizeable portion of these reports-—not yours, not at all-—seem laughable, if not particularly funny.

As has been pointed out down-thread, starlets suddenly recalling life-marring incidents from forty or fifty years ago just doesn’t add up. You know as I do that the Left specializes in both these kinds of witch-hunts, and revels in any possible connection to victimhood.

I’ll withhold all judgement for a half-year or so, and will refrain from bad jokes to you for keeps.

I realize that Hollywood women are the worst possible spokeswomen for this issue, but it happens to all types of women who work day in and day out with powerful men, wherever there are power imbalances (and, less frequently, it also happens to men).

I made several comments to your point about dredging up stories from the past on the following thread, from post 21 on down. Perhaps it will explain:

No need to stop the good jokes, FW. As it happens, our past repartée established that I enjoy wit and humor, and have not turned into a hater. But I can testify that harassment is a real thing.

I can also state that as a professional, I did not date, flirt or seduce at work and turn around and cry about it later. I’m saddened at remembering some of the “nice” married men who came on to me and my women colleagues because in our case, we were among the first wave of women to try to enter the executive suite in the 70s. Being hit on by male colleagues made us feel scared to trust men we might want to date outside of work who might be good guys and loyal.

For the first half decade out of university, I stupidly thought that educated executives, church officials or other professionals would be above that sort of thing. LOL! I am fortunate not to have been attacked or assaulted for saying no to my dozen or so of them; some of my women friends were not so fortunate. But I did pity their wives and children. It’s near impossible to love someone who can’t be honest or be trusted.
