Pollster Dan Cox said in an interview that aired Tuesday on "What America's Thinking" that the "Me Too" movement has become largely partisan amid Justice Brett Kavanaugh's bruising confirmation process.
"What we're seeing with the fallout of some of this is that the issue of sexual harassment, the Me Too movement, has now become a partisan issue like everything else," Cox, research director at the Public Religion Research Institute, told Hill.TV's Joe Concha.
"We asked a question about just how important is the issue of sexual harassment in the workplace, and we have a majority of Democrats saying it's a major problem, but only a minority of Republicans saying the same," he continued, referring to a PRRI survey released last week.
The poll found that 50 percent of Democrats said sexual harassment in the workplace is an issue, while on 27 percent of Republicans said the same.

Then again, maybe that's why their men commit more infidelities.
I remember vividly reading Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask) by Dr. David Rueben way back in the early 1070s and I distinctly remember verbatim a passage on what prostitutes believe keeps them in business all the while: the married woman.
The quote: ". . .As long as the average American housewife thinks she has a golden vagina, I'm in great shape. . ."
More likely than not, the reference is to white women. (Sigh!)

(4,611 posts)The idea that somehow it was Kavanaugh that turned them pro-sexual assualt is just ahistorical.

(46,753 posts)unexpected, is it? The reason women have stayed quiet for so long is because they know they will be judged by conservative standards.
