Sexual harassment is the kind of thing men and women see differently. While men may see their overly zealous flirtations as rather innocent, hopeful of a reciprocated response, or maybe even a sexual fantasy come true, women may see such flirtations as an attempt to dominate, intimidate, or insult. It’s all a matter of sexual perspective. One usually knows when a flirtation is welcomed. Without some sort of flirtation, no one would ever get together with/find a mate. So I can get that part.
I have never been sexually abused, but I have been sexually approached
in a way that was not welcomed by me. I
finally spoke up one day, and it stopped.
Luckily for the man, that was back in 1980, when such behavior flew
under the radar more than it does today.
Today, women are no longer so tolerant.
I know I sure wouldn’t let it stand.
I’m not that young, gullible girl (often the victim) anymore. 😉
In a statement from Cuomo, he attempts to apologize. It looks rather “boiler plate” to me, but…
"I now understand that my interactions may have been insensitive or too personal and that some of my comments, given my position, made others feel in ways I never intended. I acknowledge some of the things I have said have been misinterpreted as an unwanted flirtation. To the extent anyone felt that way, I am truly sorry about that."
Here is the question:
Should Cuomo step down, be removed, be ignored, be tolerated, other?
What, in your opinion, is the remedy to the Cuomo situation?
