You Too? Could Be. What to Do. -

“I believe all men are guilty,” Barry Diller recently told New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd. He went on to make clear: Not in what he, and everyone else, calls the Harvey Weinstein way, but at least of flirtation, maybe inappropriate comments, a hug or a hand, the kind of thing that we would not be talking about, except amongst ourselves, a year ago, and that is grounds for what Diller called “capital punishment” these day.

And so great is the stigma of such an execution that former Congressman and almost Senator Harold Ford, who was fired from his job at Morgan Stanley, was prepared to sue if the company did not make clear, as they did, that he was fired for all manner of incompetence, but not for sexual harassment. And thus he avoided, if not the death penalty, then certainly an indefinite period of virtually solitary confinement.
