Well, I'll be damned (again), Cuomo was finally forced to resign. We now have conclusive proof of how different the standards and policies on misogyny are between the Repubs and the Dems. No matter how horrible a Repub male's sexual behavior might be, such as Trump, you can always count on that party to defend and protect their male sexual offenders, while the Dems, with the exception of Bill Clinton, almost always condemn and force resignation of their male sexual offenders. So it should be clear to all, esp. women, that the Repubs are the party of shameless misogyny with no concern about alienating women, while the Dems appear to at least take sexual harassment seriously. Amazing how many women still vote for these misogynistic fucks, probably just because they oppose abortion, kiss up to fundy preachers and the religious right, and give them lower taxes and hostility towards racial minorities. I guess all that stuff has enough appeal to conservative women for them to sell out and throw the rest of their gender under the bus.

Good post.
Too bad he was so old school touchy feelie Italian male. I grew up around guys like that, usually if you put them in their place life goes on.
It was clear to me early on the gop party is the worst when it comes to how women and minorities are treated.
Remember Phylis Schlafly, she held paleoconservative social and political views, opposed feminism, gay rights and abortion, and successfully campaigned against ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I have often wondered if she was a male in disguise.

Makes you wonder sometimes. Those women seem to have no sisterhood loyalty to their gender. I guess if you buy the "rugged individualist" Kool-Aid, enough, you are willing to leave your gender membership behind...

I heard on NPR that Cuomo apologized but claimed he did not realize his comments or touches were offensive since he was a 60 year old male and perhaps not up on current norms (Iā€™m paraphrasing)

I grew up in NJ. I was around a lot of Italian males. Most of them meant no harm, but they are a touchy feelie group of people. And pinching girls on the butt is just what they do. It's a mind set that really is out of favor, just told 'em to knock it off. I did not stay quiet. THAT said the ones who DID creep me out were short, fat and insecure with mean streaks. I don't see Cuomo in that last group. Too bad because otherwise I liked how he handled the job.
