This time liberals and Dems are judge, jury and prosecutioners. Carry on lol

That would be true if the Democrats didn't discipline their own members for the same charges. But if numbers count for anything, right now there have been more Dems than Repubs who've resigned.
It may all be a witch hunt, but if it is, it's a bi-partisan witch hunt that extends far outside of Washington D.C. Most of those who have been accused of sexual harassment have no connections to the Capitol at all, except for all the news media guys who have been accused.
Why now? I think the answer's very simple. This issue has been gathering steam for a long time, as women have become as much a part of our workplace as men, and women now want the same kind of social and work opportunities as men have.
Complaining about the glass ceiling hasn't done the job. It's not something that most men or women ever think about, because so few ever rise to the very top of any corporation.
But sex harassment charges are something so common, especially among women, that everyone, male or female, knows about them, and they stick like glue and don't peel off easily. Other forms of abuse are sooner forgotten or thought less serious.
Why so many charges now? That's simple, too. Women have always sought strength in numbers. So once one who is brave enough to step forward, she will be joined by others in support if the charges have validity.
This is something women want changed in the 21st century. Don't expect it to fade away, because it won't, and it has just begun, I think.
