In reply to the discussion: Cuomo is 63 years old. I am 75 years old. [View all]Decoy of Fenris
(1,954 posts)Maybe I've just mellowed out over time, or my humble journey of self-reflection and edification has taken its toll, but some of these responses defending -unwanted physical advances from a boss to his subordinates- are absolutely cringeworthy. "He's our man, yup! If it was me I'd have liked it and those ugly trollops don't know what they're missing! Rah Rah Cuomo!"
The grievous level of combined sexism, misogyny, victim blaming and all manner of other mewling, pathetic "B-b-but it's not sexual harassment if it's our guy!" is obscene, hypocritical and shameful.
Goddamn. I don't even want him to resign, I just want an investigation, but the level of spin some people are putting themselves through to defend him AT ALL COSTS and indeed -even if the accusations are true- (As per a poll currently running with 80% support) makes the Large Hadron Collider look like a child's toy in comparison.
80+% of poll respondents stating that even if Cuomo were -verifiably- guilty of sexual assault to at least three different women, they still want him there...
Whuf. How times change.
