Literally no one would surprise me because of the witch hunt mentality of guilty until proven innocent the movement has at this point in time

I'm not saying all the allegations are nonsense, just that it's easy enough for them to gain traction off little enough evidence that I could see anyone that pissed some people off at some point in their careers being targeted.

Eh I dunno, I think a large part of it is that women simply excused this behavior much more years ago. I spoke with two older women about this at the time that Matt Lauer news was breaking (one is a tax client, the other was an admin at my old job). They both said that when they were working back when "they were young," it was common for the boss to pinch the secretaries or receptionists on the bum and was hardly considered a big deal. They criticized the women of today for blowing up what they considered a non-issue.

When a story breaks that includes allegations from multiple independent women (eight in this case), I'm more likely to believe it right away.

Where I may differ from the average bystander - here's everyone's chance to call me a piece of shit - is that I don't think a story like this is THAT huge of a deal. Morgan Freeman is a pervert and is gross toward women; yes, that's disappointing, but it's planets apart from the actual monstrous shit people like Cosby or Spacey pulled.
