Right. Because I totally made it up about married men my father’s age groping and kissing me at work in my first job out of college.

Yeah, that makes it a whole lot more sketchy and inappropriate. Shudder.

Frank’s resignation is related to sexual harrassment. Clear ethical violation and abuse of power:

Report: Rep. Trent Franks, who is resigning immediately, offered staffer $5 million to be his baby surrogate
Staffers were unsure whether Franks wanted a surrogacy through in vitro fertilization or sexual intercourse.

My first answer to the headline question is that the targets of these investigations should read SJWADD, which has good advice on how to protect yourself.

Amen! If there’s one thing we (women) shouldn’t be trying to do right now, it’s one-up each other with who’s got the worst-best tale of assault/harassment. This is supposed to be about support, encouragement, and making things better.

Suzanne, you forgot the most important thing though – reviewing and revising internal policies and procedures to ensure a work environment where it’s safe, easy, and confidential to report this stuff. A climate where privacy will be ensured to the greatest extent possible, where there is immediate action/investigation, and where men can also feel safe reporting.

This is definitely an issue.
