Now if I was famous (or infamous,) and/or rich, I'd be more worried.

This is a power shift in media and government.

What's happening is that organizations who have been ignoring complaints for decades are suddenly panicking and overreacting, especially when there's someone prominent involved.

This is not the fault of the women who are finally being listened to. It's the fault of organizations that very likely have procedures to deal with complaints through HR and other departments, and have been punishing the complainers all along.

Now instead of actually following the rules they set up-- the ones they have been ignoring to punish the women-- they are suddenly firing the men they've let get away with sht for so long.

Of course it's overreaction.

But it's a guilty overreaction that comes as a backlash. And notice what's happening-- we're starting to feel like, OMG, this is too much, too sudden, unfair, no due process...

It's a feature, not a bug, that overreacting to these things leads to a future discounting of, wait for it, completely justified complaints.

If the death penalty is suddenly imposed for bank robbery, of course we're all there saying, now wait a minute, and come on, it's just bank robbery!

Pretty soon we're talking about how bank robbery isn't so bad.

It's about what you have been saying and doing for 40 years and management covering it up.

He said he touched her bare back then his hand "accidentally" went six inches up her shirt.

"I put my hand on a woman’s bare back,” he wrote. “I meant to pat her back after she told me about her unhappiness and her shirt was open and my hand went up it about six inches. She recoiled. I apologized. I sent her an email of apology later and she replied that she had forgiven me and not to think about it. We were friends. We continued to be friendly right up until her lawyer called.”
