Women should bring up charges as they happen.

-

If there has ever been a “dumber” concept, I don’t know what it could be. The #MeToo bandwagon is a sort of mass hysteria and witch hunt. When has it become “gospel” truth that all women tell the truth and all men lie?

Since the attacks/exposure of Harvey Weinstein and many others, all kinds of women have been accusing, and asserting sexual harassment — even rape. It’s mind-boggling. Many of the charges are decades old.

The women who are in the process of destroying and ruining their former mentors’ careers and reputation­s gained incredible perks, carved out great careers and were rewarded with riches untold. Now, we are to feel compassion for these shrinking violets, whose free will was taken from them.

I understand the women had an incredibly difficult choice. However, one who truly has high moral standards would have walked away from disgusting actions, vulgar and vile scenarios, etc. Some things are not worth “selling out for” — not everyone does.

In defense of the undoubtedl­y vile, disgusting, talented men, they may have surmised that since there was no public outcry that the women involved were not entirely against anything and career goals took precedence.

It’s so easy to accuse beneath the cover of anonymity. “He says; she says.” Bring charges and speak up when it happens — not 20 years later.
