Mrs. Stonepounder wonders how she is still sane and rational after all the sexual harassment (men casually flirting with her) and sexual assault (men putting their hand on her back to guide her through a door, or a casual hug).

And, trust me on this, there will be a backlash. Men are going to be less willing to be alone with a woman not their wife, for fear they will do/say something that 'offends'. Maybe if it is a close call on two candidates, hire the guy.

One of these attacks is going to blow up and there will be proof that the claimed events didn't happen and it was an orchestrated hatchet-job and that will do a tremendous disservice to women everywhere who are victims of sexual assault.

And lots more folk, men and women will decide to either quit voting or vote 3rd party because they are disgusted with both R & D. I have been a Dem for 70 years now. Not sure I can continue to be one if on the basis of what we now know Al Franken is forced to resign, particularly while the 'pussy grabber' work on destroying the US and Roy ' pedophile' Moore looks to capture a Senate seat.
