And? A lot of NFL cheerleaders have accused others of sexual harassment too.
I do think a lot of this is societal, look at all that is coming to the surface in Hollywood, look at abortion, out-of-wedlock births and on down the line.
Do I believe GHW Bush grabbed her in an inappropriate way? Yes I do. He would not have apologized if he had not, or if her claims were not backed up by other witnesses. I think part of what she demanded was a public apology, and Bush complied.
I think the Weinstein fallout in the 24/7 news cycle did have an affect on women who were sexually abused or attacked. How could if have not? Memories are rubbed raw by the reminders.
There are a couple of factors at work. GHW Bush is 93. My wife used to do care for elderly patients, and she said that at that age, sometimes "their filter" is gone. She had male patients who used to regularly grab nurses and expose themselves. It happens. Has GHW Bush lost all his faculties? I don't know.
But that does not lessen the pain for women who are victims of this stuff. And before people that think that every woman who comes forward and has an agenda, I would say stop for one second and ask if you would want this to happen to your mom, wife, sister, or daughter.
I had a girlfriend years back whose boss grabbed her. And it wasn't just "pinching her butt." Because of the geographic proximity of human anatomy, his fingers went into a very intimate place when he did so. This the nature of men who grope. It was a terrible experience for her.
GHW Bush may have done the same thing to that woman. No cheerleaders have not yet come forward, but even if he did grab their private areas (as it looks like in one of the photos), I doubt they would. There would be too much pressure from the Texans and other parties for them to keep silent. Plus, people would say they were dressed in very sexy clothing in an effort to shame them.
