2. "The experiences shared by the brave women... show a disturbing pattern of behavior." Really?

It's worth thinking about. Does the sharing of experience demonstrate a pattern of behavior?

What are the criteria by which such a pattern could be demonstrated? Is the criterion "someone said so?" I get why Democrats demanded Franken resign - it's an outgrowth of a certain logic that accusers of sexual misconduct are not to be invalidated. I don't know if Franken failed to invalidate his accusers because of this logic, or because he agreed with them.
