  1. Having been myself, "sexually harrassed" as others would call it, at the same time as Tara Reade (by some equally as, if not more famous than Joe Biden at the time), I think the focus should be reevaluated. In the environment of 1993, before the "me too" movement (of which I would not say that I am a "member"), women should think back on their own experiences and the consequences it had on their lives. Back then, for those who lived it and remember, there was no such thing as a "me too" mentality. So if one was ever sexually abused or harassed at the time, as we would now call it, it needs to be taken in context. I can understand that for some, it may have been tragic and have played an important role in their lives and how it affected them. For those women I am empathetic as that must have been difficult to live with. HOWEVER, for those who can remember back to those years and the environment in which we lived--and part of that is remembering how we were raised, as children of women who were raised in the 1950's--if they were what we would today call abused or harassed, remember what we felt and experienced at the time it happened, and are being honest, if it did not affect you to the point that you felt you could not speak out until you felt heard, then why start now? Back then, for MANY women, a pat on the ass from someone powerful in government or the business world, was considered a badge of honor. It emboldened women at the time. They knew they had been noticed (especially if you were 23, as I was at the time), and it encouraged you in the workplace as you had been noticed and "appreciated". Again, we had learned from our mother's that we needed that as part of a roadmap to succeed. For those of us who had a strong sense of self worth, we knew how to use that power we wielded over men to our benefit. Because we learned how to do so from our mothers. While today's environmenthas changed drastically, it is unfair to bring the actions of the 90's into today's court of opinion and judge women on them (or men). I could go on, but for those who lived it and understand, I hope you agree.
