AUDub 11,132 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/four-women-accuse-new-yorks-attorney-general-of-physical-abuse Quote Eric Schneiderman, New York’s attorney general, has long been a liberal Democratic champion of women’s rights, and recently he has become an outspoken figure in the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment. As New York State’s highest-ranking law-enforcement officer, Schneiderman, who is sixty-three, has used his authority to take legal action against the disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein, and to demand greater compensation for the victims of Weinstein’s alleged sexual crimes. Last month, when the Times and this magazine were awarded a joint Pulitzer Prize for coverage of sexual harassment, Schneiderman issued a congratulatory tweet, praising “the brave women and men who spoke up about the sexual harassment they had endured at the hands of powerful men.” Without these women, he noted, “there would not be the critical national reckoning under way.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homersapien 11,354 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Slapping someone in the ear? He needs to face assault and battery for that. I wonder if that's in the cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKW 86 7,412 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Apparently all the #metoo was just trying to hide what a bastich he was. I am certain we are about to hear a lot more of this. Just for the record, this jerk is 63? I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronan Farrow, the foremost reporter in the movement, and the one that outed Weinstein, was the guy that broke this story. He's doing good work. Mind you, there are imbeciles coming to his defense, but he's guilty as sin and I'm glad he's out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took it as Schneiderman was using the #metoo stuff try and hide his own sins, figuring maybe if he comes out strong in favor of the movement, his actions might not come to light.

Ah, you're correct. Sorry for the misinterpretation, DKW. That's absolutely the wrong approach. Here's the correct one. On 11/16/2017 at 12:21 PM, TitanTiger said: If I am a man in any position of power, especially politics, right now and I've done anything like this several years ago, I get out in front of it. I draw up an immediate public apology for having acted inappropriately in the past and that I am a much different person than I was in my earlier years now. At the same time, I'd be privately reaching out to any woman I specifically remember and contact to apologize personally. If you let something like this sit in hopes that they won't say anything, it's your funeral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
