Actually Liz, I did post some things I had experienced myself that all the things going on reminded me of that happened to me. I ended up deleting because I thought what I shared may have been too much and may have triggered someone else.

When the news talks about things that happened 20 or even thirty years ago, well, the culture was actually different and it was not so easy to "tell" either. It bothers me how so many comment on how long it took for different women to come forward and it must not have been all that bad and they moved on with their lives so let it go. What I deleted I remembered in a lot of detail just like it happened yesterday so things most definitely can stay with a person their entire life like that.

Also, when Trump said what was caught on tape was "locker room talk", and people insisted that did not happen that men did not talk like that YES THEY MOST CERTAINLY DID, especially guys involved with sports (jocks). When he said, "and they LET you", I saw that happen too, and that made it harder for me because I did not behave that way. So the women that "let" and "engage" and chase and are aggressive do make it harder for those who don't because men can get so they honestly think that's what most women are like, ESPECIALLY if they have any kind of popularity or power.

Being in the entertainment business and being on stage in night clubs, I saw things that made my jaw drop and YES I came across men like Weinstein, and then the men that had wealth most definitely had women chasing after them and they grew to think most women just wanted them. Honestly, how do you think Howard Stern became number one and got so popular and became rich off of his radio show which pretty much WAS nothing but nasty locker room talk and ALL THE WOMEN that engage him, even his side kick was a woman. Did anyone hear Franken say, "I was a comedian, yes I did that and
it was funny". What do you think the Playboy Mansion was all about? Did you ever see Robin Williams live on stage?

I am older and when I read an excerpt from a book Trump had written and he talked about some of the things that shocked him and studio 54, while I never went there I HAD SEEN some crazy stuff. I ended up giving that life up because it was just too much for me to handle at the young age I was and what I had been dealing with, and I most definitely saw women go along with some crazy things. For me, seeing all that frightened me so I just ended up walking away from it.
