That twitter account shows as being suspended. What a coincidence!
Bumped to breaking news
It happened once in the Air Force hospital where she worked and we first met. I knew the officer involved and he was known as a cad around the hospital. And twice in a large university health center setting. The men all made sexual advances towards her and touched or groped her inappropriately. I'll leave it that and won't go into any more details....she is my wife after all.
But when I asked what she did in response, in all three cases she said she did what her mother taught her to do. She slapped their faces and said loudly "Stop it!" or "Don't you dare!" Seems to have worked for her because none of the men in question did it a second time she said.
My wife is a feisty tobacco farm girl from the South, all 103 lbs and 5' 4" of her. She was brought up to not put up with that crap from men she didn't give permission to. Workplace or not, she knows how to handle herself. She just is the kind of gal who says, "No way Jose and keep your damn hands off of me", in no uncertain terms. She is no shrinking violet.
I think many of these women in the news lately probably could have done the same thing to discourage or ward off unwanted advances. But many are physically afraid or afraid for their careers or both. A tough rock and hard place to be between for sure.
I'm just a guy so I don't pretend to know the answers for what women should do in these cases. But my wife seems to have discovered that taking control of her own destiny with her bad experiences, dealing with them strongly and then moving on, has worked for her. She does not consider herself a victim. Just someone who learned from her experiences and lived on.
So her advice to gals who experience unwanted advances from men in their lives: Give them a good swift smack and tell them to stop it.
Just to pile on...
Blumenthal met his wife when he was 31 and she 16.
They married 5 years later.
Which is totally ok for Democrats from the greater New York region.
But that kind of stuff would be intolerable if it were a Senate candidate from a backwater like Alabama.
Just sayin’.
Yeah...and my UNCLE taught us girls (sister, cousin) a great way to STOP a man....with an adroitly and very aggressively placed knee...never had to do it...just had to push away men who “got too close”
Good for her! I think that’s why many of these actors/actresses get into trouble. They make the a poor choice, don’t get famous and feel sick over themselves. It is all down hill from there.
Blumenthal? He’s a Democrat right?
Let’s see “racist” (whatever that is) and “sexist” (whatever that is) don’t apply to Democrats do they? So why should “sexual harassment” (whatever that is) apply to Democrats? With the Delusional Lying Left, it’s “move on”.
Like “racist” and “sexist”, “sexual harassment” is purely a political issue, defined and advanced by the Delusional Lying Left. It is basically b/s like all the other lies and delusions of these hypocrites.
The Delusional Lying Left can’t win the debate in the forum of ideas, so they use shame, subversion, and accusation instead. Doesn’t make them right. Just makes them diabolical.
What does the Obama wing have against the Clinton wing other than the Clinton wing isn’t Marxist enough?
Countless, huh?
bump
Yup, I never had to use that either. I wouldn’t want to unnecessarily hurt a man unless I had to. Most respected my nice decline.
I never had a guy like Franken bother me. He seems like a real ash-hole. But if Franken took suggestive sexual pictures of me sleeping on that plane after I TOLD him to stop & not come onto me again I would have been screaming bloody murder to the USO folks & sue that prick! It was 2006 after all!
Google ‘news’ already has two rebuttals up discrediting her.
One calls her a “bot”, which is just weird.
People in CT will NOT be the least disturbed about this.
Sidney or Mike?
Claims the sexual harassment claim is a “bot” attack.

Expecting McConnell to issue a huge statement immediately condemning Blumie and demanding he resigned just as he did yesterday for Franken.
(Hoo Wee. I crack myself up! I really do!)
Fake or not. The allegation has been made. He should step down now. Maybe he can prove innocence later.
