Suzanne Venker: The untold story of sexual harassment
[Washington Examiner] Yes, there are women in the workplace who are taken advantage of by men who clearly lack character. And there are ways to teach our daughters how to deal with this fact. But many grown women are just as eager as men to engage in "inappropriate sexual behavior." Indeed, most women love to be the one the powerful man chooses. And who’s kidding whom? It’s sexy to be bad behind closed doors. Movies and television sell this message every day. Did we honestly think it would have no impact? Matt Lauer is the latest man to be accused of sexual harassment, and he has now gone on the record with his apology. He is unquestionably not the family man America thought he was. But like others who've been accused, Lauer noted that some of the claims are "untrue or mischaracterized." That is no doubt all he will say, but behind that statement is an entire story. It’s a salacious story, and I assure you it doesn’t look like what the media would have you believe. It isn’t a story about a bad man who preys upon innocent, unsuspecting women. It’s a story about sex and power and what they can do when opportunity arises. It’s about temptation, excitement, and (dare I say it) sin. Both men and women are equally flawed, and they are equally capable of sin. Yes, there’s more to the story. But we’ll never hear it. Posted by: Besoeker 2017-12-02 |
