Oh, I know. :-) It's no secret that men hold most (well, practically all,) the power in our society, but constantly playing the victim isn't helping the women's cause. It's one thing when it's your boss, when you need the job in order to feed your family, but that hasn't been the case recently. Regarding Franken, many of these women were with him for a picture, just to be seen with someone famous. A good shove and "keep your hands to yourself, a**hole," would have probably done the trick, and may have stopped the man from trying it on another woman.

I imagine there isn't a woman out there that hasn't been accosted in one form or another. But what I did as a teenager, a woman grown should be able to do, too. I think if I hear one more time that, in a packed room, the woman felt "powerless" to do anything, I think I'll scream.
