make sexual harassment in the workplace ok? Why the frak is anyone on DU defending sexual harassment in ANY workplace??

How were these women empowered when the normal chain of command that should have handled such complaints was part of the coverup? They did what so many women do and complained to bosses and management, for which they were retaliated against. That indicates a lack of power.

Do you really think "these women" were the only ones harassed in a workplace environment where there were widespread complaints and coverups? It's telling that so many more women came crawling out of the woodwork when the lawsuit was filed.

Would it be more or less appropriate to you if the victim were an unpaid/barely paid intern trying to get through college? If it's the FOX thing, would it still be appropriate to you if it had been Maddow or Joy Reid who was harassed by their bosses?

Again, NO ONE should have to put up with that crap, no matter how well they are paid. It's why it's frakin illegal in the first place.

But yeah, those women should totally suffer for collecting a paycheck from a news agency we "good liberals" don't like.
