True. But where do we stop...putting each others' faults on display? Is an extremely bad groping "joke", worse than the mental turmoil one might have to deal with as a result of a verbally abusive boss? Should all these "me too" events be thrown into the public light?

I do. And I think that until we start sharing more of our stories and the impact of them on us, perpetrators wont have a clue.

It's filled me with disgust and some rage too—and I'm a guy. I had no idea that women had to put up with so much crap from men. How and when did the world let these guys think it was OK to do this stuff? This isn't a "Mad Men" world anymore. I thought we were over this kind of behavior. It's crazy when you find out that men who should have known better didn't. Charlie Rose?!!? It'll be interesting to see if Al Franken survives the news about him.
