(6,147 posts)I tried saying this a few weeks ago and got slaughtered by women further left than I am, and it hurt deeply, brought back my memories of my rape experience and just took me to a dark place.
I really, really, really hope that Cuomo stays put. Even if he groped someone. Even if he touched a breast, grabbed an ass. I don't care. It's not rape. That's where I draw the line. Especially when it comes to men who are older than me. Yes, if a man asks you to play strip poker, if a man whispers "I think you're sexy" or something stupid in your ear (okay, not "Let's Fuck..." ) I consider it creepy. However, I know how to slap a man, and will do it in a heartbeat if I feel its necessary. That's what I was taught to do if a man crossed the line.
Sexual harrassment and rape are very, very different. Let them file civil suits. Ask for public apologies.
But people who actually want Cuomo to step down because he harrassed some women in the past.... are trying to screw NY out of a great governor, and I think they need to learn to let things go.
