Want my sex scattered, smothered and covered
Waffle House CEO accused of sexual harrassment. Purportedly harrassment that lasted for nearly 10 years before the woman resigned this year.
Now, first of all--I usually have an opposite stance from many in that I have spoken to many women who have been victims of sexual abuse, and it is not, in my experience, unusual at all for this to be hidden or tolerated for a long period of time, many years. I am familiar with one who tolerated it for nearly 20 years (and admitted by the accused). In addition, I do not generally believe that they do it for money or continue it for that--they do it for fear.
HAVING SAID THAT, the reason I post this isn't about the underlying allegations--which may be completely false; I'm not suggesting they are truthful at all.
Instead, it is about the AP's policy--new to me--of not publishing the name of the accuser of sexual harrassment. I am aware in cases of rape, but I have not seen it before in situations like this.
IN ADDITION, the AP manages to find relevant, somehow, that the CEO of Waffle House, the alleged harrasser, is a donor to Mitt Romney's campaign.
Really? You're going to publish that as relevant, but not going to publish the name of the accuser?
I get that you don't want to have a chilling effect on accusers coming forward. But seriously, does not publishing the name in a very high profile case cause someone working at Joe's Plumbing to come forward now, where they wouldn't before? I don't think so, and I am a huge advocate for sexual abuse and harrassment victims.
And the wholly irrelevant campaign contribution nonsense? Like this link said, would they have done that had he been a large contributer to President Obama's campaign?
