      The Franken piece is confusing. Reporting has Franken's defenders saying he could be a mean arrogant jerk and had a longstanding habit of kissing women without asking, which made many uncomfortable- but somehow reaches the conclusion that the allegations were unfair/unfounded?

      It seems obvious that if it had happened later in the #MeToo cycle, Franken would have gotten away with it. I guess reasonable people can disagree over whether that would have been a fairer outcome. It's certainly true that some who did worse were punished less.

      Knowing all the lives and careers of women ruined by sexual harassment, I just can't muster any special concern for poor Al Franken and his clinical depression. I wouldn't deprive him of the empathy and concern of his friends and family, but he's not important enough to get mine.

      I hardly know how to respond to this comment. Have we normalized the lack of empathy? Must we know firsthand about the ravages of depression, experience a family member shot in a mass shooting, unintentionally leave a child locked in a car to find her/her death... to care?

      My rule of thumb is that if a rich guy behaved like a scumbag, then a relatively minor inconvenience like losing a job (unfairly or not), is for their friends and family to give them sympathy over, not me. I'm sorry if that makes you lose hope for humanity!

          "unfairly or not" This is, I guess, all we need to know. Also - this wouldn't have anything to do with Slate having been entirely wrong about Tweeden, and quite publicly so? I will have to go look, but I think I've missed the mea culpa on that.

          Have you personally invested yourself in every mildly unfair thing that every happened in the world since you were born? My mom once told me "life isn't fair" when I was just a small child and something mildly unfair happened to me. I suppose you'd think that was child abuse.

          I must disagree with the characterization “a relatively minor inconvenience” He was ostracized and that has enormous consequences, regardless of whether it happens to a person of means or someone like mehttps://www.psychologicalscience.org/news/releases/ostracism-hurtsbut-how-shedding-light-on-a-silent-invisible-abuse.html …

          Good, we've found where we disagree.
