Maybe for the type of person that ‘rises’ to political office, but regular people probably still care quite a bit.

- traderjane 7y agoDo regular people care with their words or with their votes? Because if it just words then how much care is there? As Mitch McConnell's office has stated recently, "Boys will be boys." Isn't that an informal assessment of American culture?
- imesh 7y agoCertainly not of corporate culture. People get fired for stuff like that all the time. Johnah Friedland said the n-word and had to step down from Netflix and he didn't even use it in a racist context. He only said the word as he listed offensive words. Weird sex stuff can certainly be used to affect people in powerful corporate positions.
