I am convinced that the whole 'sexual abuse' thing is very common in upper echelons and make for a convenient excuse to take down someone now towing the line.

I almost always look for 'root cause' when I hear a sexual abuse scandle taking down someone in power.

I wish people would shut up about it. It's gotten to the point where normal peers can hardly even talk about sex without being afraid of getting in trouble.

Flirting with coworkers is fine, natural even. Calm down or become a shut in and leave the rest of us alone.

I go to work to work, not to hear about other people’s sex lives. Save that kind of talk for your friends, or talk to your mom about it, but don’t involve me. I shouldn’t have to hear about it just because we both work on the same widget.

By the way, Carlson did a lot more than flirt. He allegedly retaliated against an employee for rejecting his advances. That’s horrible.

I agree it is horrible but the point I am making is this type of stuff is more common than we'd think. So almost anyone with power would have some 'skeletons in the closet'.

think about it, we lost al franken as senator but still have DJT as president (& many more if you think DJT is unstoppable).
