[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here, I know its complicated.  I hope I was right and don't feel great about this happening at all.  But its made me think a lot about what one should do when something clearly wrong happens.  How can anyone be completely right when a situation goes so wrong or how wrong can someone be when responding to a bad situation.

Someone earlier mentioned #metoo.  I don't consider myself a liberal more of a centrist and I haven't been pleased with all aspects of whats going on with this movement.  However, I'd be lying if I didn't express that in that moment I briefly thought of the video where Weinstein had the reporter in his hotel room and she couldn't bring herself to do or say anything to get herself out of the situation.[/quote]

The whole thing sounds unpleasant, so yes, I can imagine it leaves a lingering bad feeling.  I have an 11 year old daughter so I also understand the desire to protect her.  But let me ask, days later, can you see another way to handle it?  Why are you going to lose friends over it? (By the way, I think you were fine; pushing is not the greatest, but I am willing to give you a pass in the heat of the moment).

But what does #metoo and being a centrist or liberal have to do with anything?  Was this also jarring to you because thought these sorts of incidents happened to other people and not your beloved DD and you?  I wonder if you are bothered even more because had not previously considered how common place this type of behavior is?[/quote]

DP- but of course. People don’t consider #metoo as something that happens to their family. That’s not unusual. It’s understandable. Many women don’t even realize they’ve had #metoo moments.[/quote]
