I do not claim to be an innocent glass-house-stone-thrower.  Sadly, I don’t have to jar my memory very hard to recall instances of sexual misbehavior that, in hindsight, I would like to revisit with a better-calibrated moral compass.  I won’t attempt to quantify my conduct in light of the wave of accusations against so many news worthy celebrities, but I would submit, that any lines I may have crossed, (often the norm, I’m going to assume without empirical support), would seem benign by comparison.  Abhorrent behavior by anyone, in any way, should not be tolerated.  BUT, (here’s where I’m going to get into trouble), the new-found freedom to speak out, (The Weinstein Effect), in the Twitter age, has potentially dire and inequitable consequences.  Antisocial behavior, the act(s) and the perception of the act(s) cannot necessarily be considered a two-column “Dos” and “Don’ts” check list.  It’s not even as simplistic as embracing a “Golden Rule” equivalency, as some of us may want some pretty creepy shit done unto us.  So, yes!  A light needs to be shone brightly in all of the dark crevasses of sexual bullying, with zero tolerance for those who would commit forced acts of physical abuse.  But, threats or inferences of financial or career retribution for not submitting to an uninvited act of life-long psychological trauma should never be, if presented as such, a choice.  We all must be responsible, in every way we can, for our own well-being.  Speaking of these things publicly must come with some obvious lessons:  to never accompany Harvey to his room; always say “no” to Louis C. K.’s requests for a masturbatory audience; no drinking with Kevin Spacey…ever; delete, unread, all texts from anyone named Weiner; don’t live in or ever visit Alabama.
