I feel fortunate in my work life because for the most part I have worked with more women than men. At the risk of generalizing, it seems to me that the women with whom I have worked have more of a balanced view of life and can find the fulcrum that establishes a healthy balance between reason, empathy and irony.<\/p>\n
I have supported the notion of more women in public office, not just because it is fair and just, but also because it seems that more women have insight into the issues that confront us and are skilled at developing solutions. Last, it\u2019s about as proven as proof can be that women are less corrupt than men.<\/p>\n
The 2017 revelations of men behaving badly is surprising, except it\u2019s not. Sex and power are driving forces in human nature and they both lead is into the land of \u201cwhere do I draw the line?\u201d The #Metoo movement has been healthy as more and more women reveal their knowledge of men behaving badly.<\/p>\n
But there is collateral damage with this. Not only are they shining the light on men behaving badly; the illumination extends to men who \u2026. are just behaving. There does not seem to be any difference in the intensity of the light on those who commit egregious acts such as rape, and those who unknowingly cross a poorly-defined line into the land of \u201cthat offends me,\u201d or even, \u201cthat makes me feel uncomfortable.\u201d We could all learn more from Claire Berlinski\u2019s article<\/a>, The Warlock Hunt in The American Interest.<\/p>\n
