All the men accused of sexual misconduct share the same trait: they are all rich!
- zymhan 9y agoWell that's not true, it's just the men you hear about in the news. It's not a national story to learn that a middle manager at a department store harassed employees for years. It's depressing for sure, but not exactly news.
- merraksh 9y agoThe poor have less chance of being famous, and hence of being in the spotlight for such accusations.
- eropple 9y agoIn the spheres being reported on, yes. On the other hand, something I find interesting is that there are plenty of nontrivial YouTube creators with large followings, and more than one of them has been outed as a scumbag (which was low-key happening before #MeToo, in a way that actually-powerful people seemed immune).
- matdehaast 9y agoI would hazard a guess it is only the ones you hear of. The #MeToo campaign showed that sexual harassment, assault and misconduct affects all demographics.
- saas_co_de 9y agoIt is only "newsworthy" if the person has a recognizable name, which generally means they are upper income. The vast majority of sexual misconduct reports made to HR will never be reported in the media.
- abiox 9y ago> All the men really, all of them? or just ones you've seen on [WhateverNewsSite].com? i suspect a situation at, say, a random local hardware store is unlikely to make major news outlets.
