While this avalanche continues,
Harvey Weinstein, move over: Mariah Carey’s been accused

By Cheryl K. Chumley - The Washington Times - Wednesday, November 8, 2017

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

Mariah Carey, pop icon of the 1980s, has been accused of sexual harassment.

Equal opportunity, right? Why should Harvey Weinstein have the corner on sexual-tied aggressions?
And don’t forget, after Weinstein, came all these others, kindly compiled by CNN: Actor Kevin Spacey,
screenwriter and director James Toback, actor Ben Affleck, ex-president George H.W. Bush, fired
Nickelodeon creator Chris Savino, Amazon Studios head Roy Price, celebrity chef John Besh, journalist
Mark Halperin, NPR editor Michael Oreskes and Vox editorial director Lockhart Steele.
The common denominators? All were accused of some form of sexual harassment, and all are men. cont....

An intelligent thought is worth to ponder;

I found myself humming the tune and first phrase of “Touch me in the Morning,” made famous by Diana Ross.
I couldn’t remember the rest of the words, but the melody kept echoing in my mind. Frustrated, I resurrected the words:
“Touch me in the morning, then just walk away. We don’t have tomorrow, but we had yesterday.” As I remembered
that this hauntingly beautiful melody by Ron Miller was paired to Michael Masser’s distressing lyrics, I became frustrated.
Actually angry! …. cont ....

I don't know

this is weird stuff to me (I am a bloke).

what women are calling sexual harassment and sexual assault - men have experienced for years as well.

I have personally been touched up - grabbed by the genitals - had the word put on me - god knows what.

all uninvited

was I offended by any of it?

No

that seems to be the difference as far as I can see.

I have also said things to women - uninvited - and, they have rebuffed me - and, I just apologized and didn't do anything again --

only to be told later on many times that -- 'you give up easily'.

I find this whole business very odd --- women go out of their way to be 'attractive' - they plaster makeup on by the shovel full -

most of which is designed to mimic a sexually aroused state -- eg. rouge, lipstick, eye makeup -

and, then - when they attract attention --

they bitch

and, of course - if you don't give them attention --

they say --- 'I don't know why they aren't interested' - or 'men give up easily'

to me -- women are very confused beings.
