Oh please. That's because Republicans refuse to admit guilt, and because they used their power to force non-disclosure agreements. However: Roger Ailes, Bill O'Reilly, Roy Moore, Donald Trump.

I have a friend who was a set designer in Hollyweird. All women go on the couch to get roles. The Dems run that city & practice sexual, political, & religious oppression on people. They're aloud 2 do it because they push NGOs agendas 4 global govt. These women aren't serious.

Simple requirement to fight sexual harassment & assault. 1. Report the crime when it occurs 2. Press charges & prosecute
-
Shut up, Paul. We need to support sexual assault victims, allow them to heal on their own terms and choose to report/press charges if/when they’re ready. They are not responsible for what happened to them.
-
So you want this type of crime to be treated differently that all the others? Can you imagine what the solve rate would be like for murders, assaults and thefts if we all did what you just suggested? That's just not practical.
-
First of all, we already do treat it differently. Secondly it is different in that a live victim has experienced trauma that you apparently cannot comprehend. Even if you want to compare it to other crimes, you do realize that it’s still a victim’s choice to report things?
-
If sexual assault victims were more supported (respected, taken seriously, kept safe, given the chive and guided through the legal process) then we might have higher rates of reporting. But you can’t expect victims to fight another battle when they’re just fought to survive.

*choice

It often has to be fought for. The process - be it for rape, murder, police brutality, etc - is a painful one. There is no denying this.

No one is denying this...

the men are the problem.
-
Inappropriate behavior is normalized by lack of outrage from the victims. Men may protect humanity but women have to steer it.
-
there isn't a "lack of outrage from victims," there's a lack of support for victims to speak out and too many blocks that hinder them from doing so. you speak as if coming out and saying, someone assaulted/ raped me is easy
-
Also, ridiculous to depend on women's outrage to change the behaviour of men. Men have long held themselves up as the masters of the universe, surely they could change themselves if actually they wanted to.
-
What about hollywood women that applaud sexual predators? Enablers?
-
You're talking about enablers like that's the problem. That may be a problem, but the primary problem is men.
-
and yes, those women are trash too. but the blame should not put on the victims
