"Woman who accused Franken says she accepts his apology"

That was.... easy? Obviously it won't end here though, since now Republicans and Democrats want him to be investigated by Ethics.

I completely agree. Of course, this is the majority of women's experience. It's also not the worst of it. I don't like that kids learn about sexual education in school. I think people should be teaching it at home. Telling kids something simple like, when it's time to go in, go in slow and let the other person have a chance to say no if they want can change a lot. At least simply awkward people wouldn't look like lunatic rapists. The same goes for both genders of course.

I had a guy grab my ass at the bar once, and he had the nerve to apologize to my husband and his friend; but not me. His excuse was that he was going through a divorce. I've also experienced much, much worse than that as, sadly, many of us ladies here have. I've alot to say on this whole, "what do you expect from drunk college boys anyway?" narrative.

I've had more than one drunk girl kiss me and grab my sack and call me a faggot for not being interested. Couple of guys too.....which is weird, when you think about it. Does that count for the metoo, lol?

Of course.

I've never been sexually assaulted or harassed. I guess I'm one of the few.... you just don't realize how much that happens.. 
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Of course it does. Assault is assault.
