It does. But it can start to go the other way, if people aren't careful, I've already heard a lot of people saying they aren't taking much notice of it, because they feel the media over-egg the pudding.
Another thing is, some people feel certain behaviour is just someone being a tad too forward, and nothing more, we've all experienced that. Being a tad too forward on occasions and crossing the line are different things, and most adults do realise this. Exposing people is all well and good but you have to be careful, the guy who killed himself for example, did he do that because he's guilty of something criminal did he cross the threshold of criminality, or did he kill himself due to the of pressure and stress of an untruth. Who knows.
Well then we're all a bit stupid if we don't know the difference between a 'tad forward' and full on groping/harassment.
I don't think we are that stupid yet, do you?
You would hope that most people aren't. But as I said some people are starting to take not so much notice of all these allegations, because they feel the media over-egg the pudding. Do you believe every single accusation has crossed the criminal threshold, do you believe every person accused of something has crossed the line, into criminality? Have they all committed full on groping/harassment? I actually hope they haven't, because that would be shocking.
I haven't seen or investigated every allegation of crossing the line so I can't comment. But the list I did see wasn't an allegation list, more an awareness list the Tory leader had on her employees. Some consensual stuff and some
inappropriate stuff, what that means is anyone's guess. We don't even know if half of that spreadsheet is true.
Indeed. Neither have I, obviously. Neither have the press, they do think they're, Judge, Jury and executioner at times though.
