Well now this is just sad.....

[h=1]Women accuse Morgan Freeman of inappropriate behavior, harassment[/h]
16 people speaking out on being victims of harassment, inappropriate behavior, and unwanted touching.

I want to just write this off as being an old guy from another era with different expectations of behavior...but...
 
Who's going to play God now?

What I keep wondering is why these accusations are only being brought against high profile individuals. Why aren't we seeing any "I was sexually harassed by the janitor who cleans the McDonalds."?

Are you making a confession?
Or is this your #metoo moment?

A couple reasons, I imagine.

First, nonfamous people get accused of sexual harassment probably nearly every hour of the day but you and I don’t hear about it because they aren’t famous. The only way it might make the news if there is an accompanying outrageous video with it.

Second, how many women do you think a janitor could sexually harass without being fired or otherwise held accountable? Nobody is worried about a janitor destroying their career if they come forward.

That is certainly a factor but it doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be called out on his bad behavior. Times change and we have to be able to adapt to those changes. Also, it is one thing if these cases were from 20 years ago. That would indicate he did change with the times. But 2015? Unless he is senile or living in a bubble, two things I highly doubt with Morgan Freeman, then he knew better.

Given that one of the things Freeman is in trouble for is trying to lift women’s skirts, that may be problematic.

I get it. I just WANT to write it off because I'm so disappointed that it might be true.

Yeah, every time one of these icons falls I feel as though my inner child dies a bit more.
 
Ha, ha, ha..."Mr. Virtue" himself! Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. I hope he spends the rest of his miserable life in courtrooms.

Heh, this is an ironic post coming from someone who supports a president who has been accused by many of sexual harassment. Ironic indeed.

The difference is that President Trump doesn't act more "virtuous" than the rest of us. He doesn't lecture us on virtue. He's not preaching how women are subjected to mistreatment by men.

Damn, that is sad indeed, but it's actually infuriating (I say that as a woman). One accusation....okay, maybe she's a gold digger. Two accusations? Tread carefully. But 16? There's truth to this. Major truth. Weinstein is turning himself in today. Cosby was just convicted. Others paid a price by losing their jobs, roles, etc. Okay, he deserve a trial and the right to confront his accusers in court. But from everything in your article, the SOB is guilty to me.

Shameful how vulgar the stories are that we are learning of.

They're not. You only see the high-profile individuals because they are the ones the media report on... because they're famous.

Oh look. Here comes Mr Misogynist to criticise women because they spoke up after being alleged victims of sexual assault.
 
16 accusers who don't know one another is really a lot.

This sucks...
