Well,I have heard it all now... POTUS George Bush Sr. has been accused of sexual harassment,while in his wheelchair! SMH...
I saw that this morning...he did admit to grabbing that woman's a** though but in jest. He's old and maybe some senility going on...not an excuse but I would have let it go if I was that woman.
Well I don't care how old he is....I know I would not like it if someone just grabbed my butt...that is just not right! And he claimed it was in jest...maybe he could grab his wive's butt in jest...but not someone else's.
He's 93 years old! He's never had a reputation as a ladies man and has been a good husband as far as I know....who knows what he was thinking. I would have let that one pass.
Well he sure seems to have clear thinking when it comes to what he thinks about Trump, etc. so I do believe he probably knew what he was doing here too...and clearly if he grabbed someone's butt and was able to say he was doing this in jest...he knew what he was doing. However, if he had grabbed my butt I would have told him to keep his hands to himself ... or slapped his face! I wouldn't have made this public headlines. Yet I don't think those who are coming forward after being sexually harrassed are wrong in doing so...we each should do what we feel is necessary in these things.
I agree for the most part Babs but as with all things it can go too far. Sometimes people even make things up to get money. I'm sure all of Weinstein victims are legit and he's not the only one that has done this. I don't think Trump's access Hollywood video is any worse or better than what Senior Bush did. Some men are like that and although it's not right I don't think it rises to the Weinstein level.
Oh no, I didn't say I think it rises to the Weinstein level Chrissy. And yes I agree some women will do anything for money, etc. but men who have power are also capable of abusing that power and do.
Yep and now I think some of these men are trembling in their boots...seems the floodgates have opened. Weinstein says it was consensual and I'm sure most of it was but it was because they wanted a job and not because he's so sexy. It's that abuse of power that is so wrong. I'm not a feminist man hater either but wrong is wrong.
When this phase is over and a new and better code of behaviour is established I wonder what will be next ? There are many forms of intimidation both physical and emotional ... if the bully at school who took my lunch money is now rich and famous will I be able to claim compensation for the trauma he has caused ? Or the dentist who lied when he said 'This won't hurt at all' ...
I hope common sense prevails. That's my answer to everything ...if everyone used it, the world would be better

The difference with Bush...he admitted to his transgression first thing and openly once accused. Was he wrong to do so...yes. Its a wonder Barbara didn't wack him up side the head.
I'm glad he admitted to his trangressions Gloria...but when he did he is making excuses for them along with the apology. And his spokesperson is making excuses for what he did too.
