    The upgrade will be in one area and another will suffer to balance the scales. It will take a little while. I can't be more specific. Wait and watch.

    It certainly has that appearance.

    Let's not forget the huge revenue gains the media is reaping as a result.

    If you read about the trials, one of the reasons it persisted as long as it did was because some of the accusers knew they could attack their political/social/business enemies and was to their benefit.

    It will both over-correct and under-correct until society settles on what it decides is appropriate. Society is the arbiter of social standards.

    And what makes you think your side will decide that standard?

    I will simply be laughed off the site and made to look a fool and insane. I cannot, but I have a "gut feeling" which is based in experiences and beliefs. No, I do not expect the end of the world. I am not a believer in the "chicken little theory". There will be change.

    I think there is going to be a MEN'S MOVEMENT against the ME TOO movement....it will be a boycott of voting for women. All these rich men that have been donating to the Democrat party has dried up....the DNC is bankrupt....Hillary bailed them out when she secretly took control before she got the nomination...but now they are still bankrupt...

    I don't necessarily believe all of these allegations are unfounded, but the frequency and amount of allegations certainly seems to be going overboard, more of a Zeitgeist as a counter response to the new thinking of the Trump era.

    There obviously will be a push back. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

    What scientific studies are there that prove that to be what is happening now?

    That was a very substantial answer.

    Any chance you could elaborate?

    How about 30 or 40 years ago? It seems for a lot of these it has become a he said, she said situation without proof one way or the other. I'll say this, 30-40 years ago the climate was different than now. That doesn't make it sexual harassment right, just it was viewed differently or not as harshly as now. A woman was much inclined to keep these things quiet back then. But after all of that time, proving it one way or the other is near impossible. That is unless the guy admits to it.

    I think what is troubling is that in many of these old cases the sexual harassment was reported to the overall boss, but basically dismissed. Someone wasn't doing their job.

    This is how that works. When someone doesn't do their job then it opens the flood gates when justice is served. This is why things have to be done right from the get go.
