7. The timing is the problem.

Not when it occurred. Okay. That's often the case when the harasser is powerful enough to kill a career. But not when Cosby's accusers started coming forth some time ago. And not when the "Me, too" movement got underway.

This is suspect, to me. And not sexual harassment, because the details are lacking.

Consider the real sexual harassment. Matt Lauer raising the skirt of a subordinate to rape her. Cosby drugging and raping or sodomizing women. Charlie Rose parading around naked in front of subordinates he asks to come work with him at his house. And so on. Fast forward: Brokaw tried to kiss me. Seriously?
