change is definitely afoot, in all industries and companies large and small. and yes, trump was a big part of raising the issue, but then again one could say it did him no harm: he just dismissed the accusations, shamed the alleged victims and won the election anyway.
it's been bubbling for years with the decades of accusations and settlements paid by bill o'reilly, bill cosby, etc. perhaps part of the reason we're seeing more victims coming out is because they are older now, more secure in their positions in life and less scared of what could happen to them. it's all a power thing, and once the predator's power wanes, the victims feel empowered to speak out.
also...we all knew this type of thing happened to some degree but holy shit, it's looking like so many men are just fucking pigs.
