Stop calling it a sex scandal: "Dear media: Learn the difference between abuse and sex -- otherwise, you're sensationalizing violence and rape.
Let me fix this for you, headline writers. When you’re dealing with a story that involves rape or harassment or abuse or molestation or child porn or anything that falls under the rubric of criminal behavior, you should call those things rape and harassment and abuse and molestation and child pornography. You know what you shouldn’t call them? Sexy sexy sex scandals, that’s what...."

You nailed it!!!!! A standing ovation from my house!!!!!
It was a very well written article!
That is a wonderful article. It isn't a sex scandal it is assault.
Exactly! They shouldn't be calling it other wise. It just feeds into the whole rape culture.
As it happened to me in St. Paul, MN in 1967 I wholeheartedly agree with you--but then the TV networks,
most radio and newspaper companies comprise the "Scandal Elite". Where's research, sensitivity, etc.? Oh, and abominable abuse of English.
Only when most men understand how to share power will women be well treated. I'm not holding out much hope....
I hope your weather isn't as beastly hot as ours here in the Midwest. Best Wishes!
I agree with you there.
The weather is horrible here right now. It's been way too hot and not near enough rain!
