This is behind the curve; Clinton, Weiner, Frank and others have been mentioned
quite frequently.

No. It's a male thing, and people need to stop denying that this type of thing is quite common.

Women don't come forward most of the time because we get drug through the mud, and called stupid things like "THAT" woman. Unless it is rape (and most of those don't get reported for the same reason) stuff like what Belick (ms) is claiming is something that most of us just move on from.

I worked as a cocktail waitress and sometimes bartender in nice clubs and hotels when I was in my 20's. Women would be surprised at what their husbands pull when they are away at conferences and away for work. Of course, not all men, but many more that most will ever admit. Some guys will just try to bed you, and don't get mad when rebuked, but lots get downright angry and indignant. They are creeps.

The quoting is off here; I didn't post the "It's okay if it's a Dem" message. I agree with you completely; while increasing numbers of men make sexual harassment claims, the number of women and young girls who are too humiliated to report such incidents is ridiculously high, for exactly the reasons that you mention. As I nurse, I certainly witnessed the behavior that you're describing. By then I was old enough to handle the offenders, but I did suffer from a groping teacher as a freshman in high school. It was frightening and made me leery of males unless I knew them well. There are definitely many men who feel that they're entitled to take liberties with women, especially if they're young and/or vulnerable.

I heard, on Sharpton's show I believe, that 'they' are trying to get all four women together for the press.
I think, where there's smoke there's usually fire. First, four women accusing him has to be more than idle accusations, second, if he did to that woman what she said he did - so blatantly - one can easily extrapolate that he probably tried it and got away with it before.
What a dog!

Did you hear the idiot say he will take a lie detector test ONLY if he sees fit?
If he is so innocent, he should jump at the chance to prove his innocence.
They are now trying to get all four women together for a press meet.
That woman who testified has not and does not want to accept a cent for what she is doing.
He was so crude and blatant with her that one could draw the conclusion that he did that successfully with others before.
What a pig!

She may be a liberal, but she is fair in that she expects people in our system to conduct themselves with honor.

How anyone can now back Cain without knowing he's a hypocrite, I'll never know.

I don't want him for President, but believe he is a victim of an orchestrated smear campaign - it has democrat fingerprints all over it. This is what they do best.
No, he did not offer to take a polygraph test. He said he would if he saw fit to take one. He will never try to clear his name that way, he left this 'out' because the man is guilty and a liar.

If you think he conducted himself well, it just shows you how expert he is at twisting the truth.

One case can be a fluke. Four or five mean this guy has a problem.
I would not call what he did to that woman who came forward merely harassment. It was a sexual assault and it's a shame the statute of limitations has passed or he'd be behind bars. The man is a dog. fsntoaro
