The folks were watching Dan Rather on the news and he asked
Arnold what would he do if Maria came to him with
the tale of being groped? He said that she has. He
also didn't tell what he would/wouldn't do. He
just reiterated his 'I apologized' line.

What a crank.

1. Society still does that sexist perspective shift thingy
WHere in order to drive home the point to Arnold that he shouldn't group women they ask how HE would feel if his wife or some other female in his life were groped and fondled. That still doesn't give him the perspective of the gropee, of the victim of the assault.

Ask a more relevant question: How would you feel if a man who could make or break you grabbed your package, and you knew no one would believe you and you were powerless to stop it? What if that happened often to you?

And another parallel question: How would you feel if men came to you and told you Maria had groped them? How would YOU feel being the one betrayed?

2. Oh, I can see it now...
Maria: "Arnold, when you groped me back there in the parking lot, it felt creepy."

Ahnold: "I'm sorry! Vat ees it vith vimen? You vant me, you don't vant me, I don't know ven you vill be angry unt ven you vill haf der orgahsum."

3. Now that Arnie is a government employee
How long will it be until someone files a sexual harassment suit against him?
