I think that's a reasonable concern. I like to imagine in the long term this ruckus will blow over, but it may require a sea change in some workplaces. Men should be more aware of the impact of crude gestures, but at the same time women should understand that 'ball-busting' is a time-honored way men talk with each other. Not the so-called 'locker-room talk' that demeans women, but the day-to-day barbs and quips of many workplaces. My ex is an engineer, she was one of three management-level women among a construction staff of over 1600. I found her a pink hardhat to wear on site: might as well own it, right? A little friendly banter was no big deal, it was a construction site after all: snowflakes need not apply. However her boss, also a woman, personally fired several guys for repeated 'inappropriate gestures'. Particularly one poor idiot who used Spanish for his catcalls: she instructed him, in perfect Spanish, to hand over his badge on the spot. Security walked him out. Oops. Always know your audience...

Re: the recent watershed of sexual misconduct allegations.
I'm starting to see a pattern in that when the man in question is even remotely on the liberal spectrum, he admits his wrongdoing and makes an attempt at apologizing. If he is conservative, he denies that it ever occurred. Interesting.

eventually, the Defenders will have some doubts. But then again, if Moore is still around, and Trump is still around, and anyone who just denies this stuff is okay to be in the senate and the white house, well I'm going to tell my kids to start jackin' up banks and never, ever, say anything but a flat out denial.
The worrisome part to me is that it seems only the Republicans have figured this out. I have a pretty good record of not liking either party, but wanting a healthy opposition. If the Dems get run out for admitting their crimes while the party feels righteous in upholding their ideals, then you'll just be left with a bunch of laughing Republicans who will continue to deny and deflect while trashing the place. It's going to take a while to rebuild what has already been sullied, some on the opposition party better figure some stuff out before next november.
