(38,862 posts)But you will discount the experiences of the 8 women who have indicated Franken behaved simillarly toward them, without their consent? Half of them publically sharing their identities, of the remaining half - half known to reporters. Some of them democrats.
Do I believe he should have resigned? No. I believe he should have invested time and energy into exploring his physical interactions with womeon in a way that gave women the freedom openly share any discomfort they have regarding such contact. (And following that should have made any appropriate behavior modification).
But he chose to resign. I support everyone making the decision that is right for them in such circumstances. (I would also have supported a decision to stay, had he made such a decision.)
