Waiting until others blew the whistle & the serial predator has already been fired is "courage?" More like covering one's ass.https://twitter.com/jaketapper/status/917799899864993792 …

I don't know of the times you're referring to but I think you know I stand up for folks against indecency regardless of their politics
-
"People coming forward should be applauded" is not a journalistic tenet. It's an advocacy tenet. The Weinstein scandal is not an excuse to turn off your brain & abdicate responsibility to assess credibility of accusers. Some are more credible than others.
-
In both O'Reilly & Weinstein cases, some of the women came forward are more credible than others. Timing, among many other factors, DOES matter. It's the oppose of female empowerment to embrace the irrational notion that women never lie about rape/sexual harassment.
-
Absolutely! I was falsely accused and the female perp recanted, stating she had made it up. Harassment can & has been used as a weapon.
-
That said credible harassment/assault is NOT WOMAN'S fault! Waiting 5, 10 or 15 YEARS IS a red flag to credibility.
-
No it’s not. People are afraid to come forward because men like Weinstein have all the power and people who protect him.
-
No they tolerated his perversions because they wanted to make$$ and be famous so they gave up their souls and morality! Now they're Brave?
-
No. They were afraid to speak out against a man who could destroy their career at the very least.

As for a "people coming forward should be applauded," it's not a rule. It's my belief. Whether
@GretchenCarlson or@rosemcgowan. -

@Mimi4Torres, as a victim of abuse when I was young, I couldn’t agree more.

We all react differently to trauma, being victim to any abuse will elicit many varied responses.
