Will we be seeing more 'prophylactic' resignations couched as "to spend more time with family"

[Siwsan]

Just as is happening in Hollywood, I really think that more cases of politically based sexual harassment will either be coming to light. If an elected official is, or has participated in harassing, they will retire, in hopes that will stop any 'incentive' the survivor might have to report them. Although I sure as hell hope that wouldn't stop someone from doing so.

3. Admittedly, that word brings on a serious case of the giggles!

Which is why I was THRILLED to find an excuse to use it!

But your use was appropriate for sure.

2. If you've raped someone, quit your job and go into hiding.

Also, assume that every car that drives by your house is an investigator coming to get you.

If it would help you sleep at night, admit the assault and beg for mercy.

But get out of society, we've no use for you.

4. No doubt they are expert at rationalizing away the "rape" connotation

Just as they do the harassing behavior.
