You don't have to bully women to be considered sexually harassing. Just showing the vaguest of sexual interest constitutes sexual harassment.

I understand what you are saying, but from the abused point of view, this is not bullying. They have little to no power, they may not be believed, it happened years ago so it might not be valid, there may not have been witnesses, so it's "He said/she said". Why did they wait so long? I can understand (from a guy's point of view) how difficult it would be. Personally, I have a lot of empathy for the women.

Alot of these stories are fabricated and exaggerated. A majority of rich men do in fact have tons of slores slobbering up to them for wealth and power. Women have done that since the beginning of time and haven't stopped today. If you're wondering why this type of environment cease to exist is because of women. The ratio of thirst buckets to respectable women is 3:1 and most men have figured this out. Women are the ones who (as usual) don't seem to understand their own gender and look to point the blame elsewhere.

There is a little bit of cognitive dissonance inherent to the gender. Even in our own mothers it is completely observable if you're looking for it.

Same reason ultra-rich men "need" more money. In other words, they don't. It's just another way of flaunting power - something now constantly on view with Trump.

1. Most powerful people don’t have time to socialize. Contrary to what the leftists believe, most of powerful people are workaholics. They would be there if they weren’t workaholics.

2. They believe others should automatically yield to their power, sexual or otherwise.

3. They can get away with it - they believe they are invincible. Power drunk.

I thought we were talking about Trump. I think it's to show the world that he can be seen with "the best". That's why he's always been such a loudmouth about it and also so public.

"Sexual Harassment" is a cause for legal action. If a man has a deep pocket and any woman is in his vicinity has a tendency to call up her attorney for legal action.

Some women want to be aggressively pursued by a rich, powerful man. It's a turn on and the ultimate validation of their desirability. This is especially true of women trying to work in media, entertainment and politics. And of course the line between this behavior and sexual harassment is thin to nonexistent.

1. its power and power corrupts

2. if you think about it...60's free love movement, the women who burned their bras, the groupies who would give a BJ to any celebrity, and NOW they are saying "oh my gawd, he harassed me", meanwhile they were the ones doing the act.


how many women (over 20,000) did wilt chamberlain sleep with.... was he the harasser, or did they voluntarily sleep with him.

how many women/groupies has mick jaeger, or steven tyler, or scott baio, have had given them a PUBLIC BJ.... was that harassment....meanwhile they dropped to their knees willingly

so many women FLOCK to these celebrities....you want to blame someone...blame the liberals chicks of the 60's.... free love baby, let's shag

today you say how gross men like these celebs, or trump are..... 99.99% chance you had a "teenbeat" magazine and drooled over and LUSTED after Robbie benson, matt Dillon, or whom ever the heartthrob of todays is...etc
