Why are we so quick to rush to judgement on Al Franken?

We may be overreacting to any and all accusations. From the information so far it is indeed a gag photo. All the men in my family have been military. All have been in combat. My two husbands were fighter pilot and Special Forces/Army Ranger, respectively. Boy, did we do some silly things. Don’t know what the answers are or what the outcome will be when we are able to stand back from all this with a clearer view. My fear is that it is edging closer to a point where the answers will slip away and, as if we had been standing still, nothing will be changed. Men do need to pay attention to their treatment of women. The worry is that men will stop being at ease around women and begin to keep us at arms length just in case their behavior is seen as akin to sexual assault.
