Typos fixed. However, anyone who has a daughter (or a few daughters) certainly can relate to the desire to protect our children, even when they are grown, especially barely grown and in their 20s. I have a daugher and agree with you as a father. However, the law is (or should be) a different matter. If you are going to adopt a sweeping standard of sexual harassment, millions of married men who propositioned co-workers or subordinates would now be in jail. Genuine sexual harassment, if the term has any valid meaning, rests either on direct coercion and/or exchanging favors for sex by employers or co-workers. Has anyone charged that of Cain? If, on the other hand, you regard a 21 year old as a fragile child who can't make adult decisions, then you should stand up and call for taking away her right to vote and serve in dangerous jobs, such as the military. Are you?

I hate typos. I think i am dyslexic at times when posting here.

Anyway. good points. The main point is that I am not advocating locking Herman and those like him in jail. I am just saying we shouldn’t allow the vetting process from a conservative base let him get away with it, provided that he did do something. We have daughters, and we should hold our leaders up to a high standard that would protect their interests. Make sense?

I am fairly convinced Herman is guilty of something. We’ll see. 3-4 sexual harassment charges don’t happen in a vacuum. Herman’s silly responses help convince me he is not guilty either.
