Everyday.... Oh No Another One

It saddens and depresses me every time I hear about another noted person accused of sexual harassment. Today's noted people are Charlie Rose and Ryan Seacrest. Who will it be tomorrow? Who cares?

As a male who strives to always do my best and treat everyone the way I want to be treated I am appalled and disgusted. The more important question that needs to be asked is why.  Why do males abuse their positions? Why do they feel the need to act so entitled over others? 

I feel for every women who has been a victim. I can't begin to imagine the pain each women has endured. Having to relive their experience every day. While the predators run and hide behind legalese and call each women a liar. 

Only one noted person has been sincere in his apology when confronted with the details. Al Franken's apology doesn't excuse his behaviour. He does get the pain and suffering he caused and is remorseful.

What makes me sad, is I understand why women find it hard to trust men. They are skeptical and jaded of a man's intentions. Acceptance, respect and trust become very hard things to earn in a man.

I want women to know that there are still good men out there. Kind compassionate, understanding men who are appalled and disgusted by the behaviour of their male brethren. I hope that my female friends will consider me to be one of these man.
