(1,514 posts)but I also find it easy to believe that almost any man could find someone somewhere in his past who could voice a complaint, possibly a legitimate one.
Garrison Keillor recently said that he's taken lots of selfies with fans where their hands strayed onto his butt, possibly without them being aware of it... I believe that. This doesn't mean I disbelieve any one person who complained about him.
In the process of transitioning from a society which tolerates harrassment to one which does not, we may have to go through a period where we have no idea how to hold ourselves to standards which we are actually capable of meeting. The way to work that out, I think, is to just go forward and do our best. That's what people are doing today. We'll get to a good balance eventually. For now this unstable and difficult time may be the best we can do. We may make mistakes but that doesn't mean we should try to go backwards.
