Serious question: WHY is everyone surprised that this person could be guilty of such actions?

One thing I learned a LONG time ago working in the system... NO ONE is above being an abuser or being abused. Famous, not famous; rich or poor; young or old; any religion and either sex....I've seen it all. Nothing surprises me, sadly.

@SahmIam

Not everyone is surprised. I'm not.

So Rose says "I thought I was pursuing shared feelings"

Yeah, uh huh.

I would say the only people responsible are those who assaulted others.

The only other people I would blame are the women who never believe other women and who insult them, call them names and blame them.

Total agreement, well stated  @Noel7

Never cared for him or his show....something felt odd.

Dustin Hoffman shocking.......never look at him the same.

Charlie Rose?  Glenn Thrush at NYTimes?

Yes, women are still being called liars and some here continue looking for ways to shame women who have reported being assaulted.

One of the women who reportedly "cried throughout the encounter" is the most interesting to me.

She was in her mid-30's at the time.  She wanted a job.  She was at his house and ended up in his bed somehow...she isnt sure.  And then called the next day to see if she'd gotten the job.

She didn't. 

What do you think? If she had, would we be hearing her story today?

---

yes why wouldn't we hear it?

@lovescatsShame maybe?  Did you READ what I posted?  He all but raped her and she called after that, the next day, to ask if she'd gotten the job she wanted...working for the guy who all but raped her.

If he did hire her after that night, and she was still working for him today, I don't see why she would come forward with details about what he did.

Job or no job, I'm surprised she's talking about it anyway.  What he did, she cried throughout it, and the morning after, "Hey, Charlie...did I get the job?"

Please.

@esmerelda  yes I read what you wrote.   So either way job or no job she shouldn't have brought it up or told anyone what happened?

There are several problems that are hard to decide on in general:

1. I want to support women (or males) who say they were 

    were abused.

2. What if they were not abused but for whatever reasons   

     are lying to smear their names.

3. They are tried in the media not a courtroom.

4. Harvey Weinstein had an audio to prove what a predator   

    he is. We don’t have that with the others. We usually 

    convict people with proof.

Not surprised anymore- it’s that Y chromosome.  They are all obsessed with secks, or most anyway.  Their pants run the show. It’s kinda repulsive.
