Scandals all over the place

Every day it seems like there are more and more scandals of men behaving badly.  Weinstein, Moore, Franken, Spacey, Rose -- on and on it goes.

The things that makes me most angry are the - why did they wait questions.  I really don't think that a lot of people understand how much shame these women and in some cases children, experience.
They fear not being believed over the powerful man (and rightfully so).  

Yet for those who come out and talk about how it was an open secret, or they knew and did nothing etc...  They incur my anger more.  Either they tacitly approved of the behavior or did not want to get involved and THUS allowed yet more people (or children) to be victimized.  

Everyday it seems you hear more stories of very inappropriate behavior.  So do these men truly not understand how wrong their behavior was or do they think it was okay because they were "important" or what?  Nobody seems to have just said what the hell are you doing?  How can you possibly think it okay?  Then so many covered it up for years.  It is insane.

So now, people are being suspended and fired (finally).  Careers ruined.  Some make it about politics but truthfully -- sexual harassment and abuse are crimes and these men need to be prosecuted.  Society needs to stop condoning and excusing exploitation by these famous, powerful, rich (whatever) men.  Both women and men need to stop ignoring it around them.  

We all know this is just a few specks on the surface and this stuff is all over and everyone needs to stop making excuses for these predators and call them what they are!
