There's a revolution, or dream come true, going on in the western world, at least the USA. Women and men, too, who have spent years, even decades trying to recover from and hide terrible memories of sexual exploitation and/or harassment are finally seeing their torturers condemned publicly for immoral and despicable acts, words and/or attempts.
Until a few weeks ago, men (and even some women) considered certain actions as "perks" of their jobs or positions. In many cases the exploitation and/or harassment, was an offer that couldn't be refused.
Personally, besides being happy that the rules have changed, and sexual predators are now suddenly being condemned publicly, I do realize that some people are no doubt rather "confused." This "rule change" is affecting them and what they thought they could do.
We shouldn't be overly optimistic and think that from now on such crimes will never happen. Not so. Although some famous people have now gotten caught, most ordinary people guilty of the same crimes haven't, because they can still instill fear in the victims.
And there are those who have known histories as sexual predators, like former POTUS Bill Clinton, who seems coated with Teflon. I'm waiting...
