@OfCourse I think he's an excellent reporter also.

But I never knew he was also a sleazebag!

True harrassers should be held accountable.

However, it's troubling when some wait years and then "report" it. Makes it less credible to me.

@hyacinth003, there are many reasons for people not reporting at the time.

Check out the news story that is current about the sexual harassment of Olympic gymnastics young girls by their coach.

Reading about all the alleged bad behavior of these powerful men makes me nauseous. What I have been doing is every time I hear a name of a likely offender, I Google his name. What I have come up with (no real surprise) is that most of these men have had marvelous careers. More than that, they have come from some of the top universities in our nation, schools that provided the opportunities to make it to the top.

This issue of educaion is important to me. I earned degrees from one of those Ivy League schools and worked there for over 30 years. I retired 9 years ago, when officials were starting to recognize their responsibilities surrounding treatment of young women by young men. All I am saying is that for far too long the boys-will-be-boys mentality permeated campuses. My alma mater has come a long way in recognizing the need to take some responsibility in educating students about behavior outside the classroom but some schools need to do more.

i am NOT saying universities are the only places to stop these behavioral excesses and downright criminal behavior. Families, communities, peers, leaders both political and religious, need to step up. Ultimately, it is the powerful men doing horrific things who must take responsibility for reprehensible acts, but something in our culture helped create these monsters.

I do feel however that if one is sexually harassed they should report it immediately NOW and not 30 years down the road. The reporting has become epidemic and I think it has hurt the cause. And in my case because of my lifestyle I get hugged almost every evening... it is a common practice among square dancers.. it is called Yellow Rock and it makes you feel welcome and appreciated. I think some of this ME TO has gone too far. It is join the crowd... and ultimately those who need help will be ignored.

It sounds like you've been lucky and haven't been se***lly harassed. That's good.

Report it immediately? That's being judgmental at best.

When these things happen, the employee is traumatized and may not know how to handle it. The victim feels a lot of fear and humiliation. The fear is about a lot of issues.....how to handle the perp, will I lose my job, how will I feed my kids, I won't have health insurance and my kid is always sick, my child is disabled and I need this job, and so much more. It takes guts to tell the offender to stop. In most instances, the offender has already established a stronger, higher up position and knows how to hold it over an employee.

Two weeks ago, I told someone what happened to me in 1983. I was 30 and pretty naive yet totally traumatized. I never told before because I had to work to make it in this world. It wasn't long after that my husband walked out on the kids and me. It was a good paying job and I moved up and had a good career. I ended up working at that Fortune 500 company for 39 years until retiring. I had a lot of different positions and bosses over the years so I was glad when I got a new one after that 1983 incident. But I never forgot it and I never told anyone until 2018.

And most victims don't report these things right away. They are ridiculed, further harassed, taunted, judged, and often lose their jobs. A little tolerance and compassion would do more judging.

And some women are not telling the truth and just want their 15 min. of fame, or money, or both. I have no doubt the harassment has been going on; I just don't believe all the accusers, and those who claim the harassment many years later are the ones I find the most suspect of their credibility.

@hyacinth003

Most women wait years to report and it has nothing to do with credability. Many have been threatened they would lose their job and suffer retaliation. Of those, many have children to feed, also.
