Bill O’Reilly, of Fox News, reaches five settlements after allegations of sexual harassment, and women flood the internet with raw memories of everyday humiliations at work, from leering bosses to crude attacks. President Trump defends his good friend Mr. O’Reilly, saying he never should have settled and he didn’t do anything wrong.
The lesson Mr. Trump apparently drew is that powerful men are not going to be held accountable. That wider sense of impunity is one reason women often decide not to report sexual harassment, even as Mr. O’Reilly has denied the accusations and cites the lack of such calls to hotlines in his defense.
Six months ago, the release of the “Access Hollywood” tape with Mr. Trump’s comments prompted widespread revulsion and equally widespread predictions that it would doom his candidacy. But women who voted for him either shrugged it off as how men talk among themselves or decided that his promises to create jobs and tighten borders mattered more. And Mr. Trump’s swagger was a dog whistle for those men who felt women’s gains were their losses.
Sexual harassment may be a firing offense at companies, at least in theory, but it remains part of the American workplace.
So what would it take to make sexual harassers stop?
But the staying power of such movements is unclear, although the passion is real. A resistance movement has sprung up largely powered by women repelled at what the election wrought. They confront a White House dominated by white men making policies that threaten women’s health care and propose to slash money for social programs that have benefited poor and working-class women.

I was at cocoa beach a few weeks ago and saw a lot of lovely ladies in skimpy bathing suits. I also managed not to grope any of them.

The big deal is when you do that kind of stuff when it's connected to your job it's illegal.
Using someone's employment or career advancement as leverage against them to get sex is illegal.

Right, so it's women's fault in how they dress which make men harass them sexually. Got it.
Because men have no self control and can't be held responsible for their own actions. Is that right???

And Madonna is a terrorist too. Got it.
You're really doing fine work here pal!! Grade A stuff.
