DeeJay,

When it comes to his age group one has to consider the generational culture he was part of. Men were encouraged to think about women in a different light and if you look at his age and consider all the movies, the messages that were being sent to men when it comes to women, he practiced things a lot of his piers practiced. Twenty and Thirty plus years ago women were viewed in a different light, and men who gained success often abused their power too.

I am 61 and a lot of these men where older than me and I actually know what a lot of these women are describing and that it was a lot more wide spread then talked about back then and what is finally coming out now all these years later. A lot of these men did have two sides to them.

However, it's also important to be honest about how a lot of women played along with this too. A lot of successful men had their wives and their mistresses, this has been taking place for a very long time.

When the horrible truth came out about Bill Cosby I could not believe it, I had thought he was a nice man and good role model, NEVER imagined him doing what finally came out in the open. Sadly, people can present this side of them to the public that is so likable and respectable and yet they have a whole other side of them that can be dark and bad.
