I tend to think that the women are telling the truth. That's not what I have a problem with. My problem is one of degree. Is what happened worth destroying a man's life? If he assaulted you, whether just physically or sexually, yeah, go for it. And, yeah, especially if you're alone with the guy, the chances of you fighting him off are pretty slim. But in this particular instance, that wasn't the case.
I had an episode with the guy who was getting too forceful. I was able to get him to stop by asking him if this was the only way to get a women to sleep with him, by forcing them. Years later that same guy worked with my husband. By this time the guy was married and had a couple of kids. I never said anything about what happened to him or my husband. What would have been the point? He had obviously changed, and I wasn't sure how my husband would have responded. Not well, I don't think. For me, it wasn't worth the trouble it probably would have caused. I just think that women need to think about just what it is they're expecting out of their proclamation. Do you want to destroy his career? Did he damage you that much? And what does the woman think is actually going to happen?
