(57,305 posts)Only if Trump and Republicans are prosecuted should any Democratic harasser face consequences. That is what you are arguing, and it is abhorrent. They are Republicans; that is why they don't face consequences. They belong to a party that centers misogyny. The good news for you is that Cuomo is highly unlikely to face any consequences. Yet you think the very fact his harassment is in the media is unacceptable. Poor Cuomo. How terrible for attention to be brought to men for their predatory behavior.
No Democrat thinks Trump shouldn't pay, but we have no control over that. Not that we have control over Cuomo either, but I am allowed to voice my opinion, and that you can do nothing about.
Cuomo grabbed women's body parts. That is physical harm. He made the women feel uncomfortable at work. That is psychological harm. He sees nothing wrong with what he did, which shows that he believes he, not the women, has the right to determine what happens to their bodies. It is repulsive.
When you argue that a man with clear evidence of harassment should not face consequences, you do not find the acts unacceptable. You excuse them with whatoutism.
You have made your views crystal clear. I don't need to put words in your mouth. You reveal yourself with your own.
