[Eight women say Charlie Rose sexually harassed them — with nudity, groping and lewd calls.](https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/eight-women-say-charlie-rose-sexually-harassed-them--with-nudity-groping-and-lewd-calls/2017/11/20/9b168de8-caec-11e7-8321-481fd63f174d_story.html) > [@](#): > > Eight women have told The Washington Post that longtime television host Charlie Rose made unwanted sexual advances toward them, including lewd phone calls, walking around naked in their presence, or groping their breasts, buttocks or genital areas. > > The women were employees or aspired to work for Rose at the “Charlie Rose” show from the late 1990s to as recently as 2011. They ranged in age from 21 to 37 at the time of the alleged encounters. Rose, 75, whose show airs on PBS and Bloomberg TV, also co-hosts “CBS This Morning” and is a contributing correspondent for “60 Minutes.” Another day, another exposure. This did surprise me. ---

This did surprise me. Seems like the male feminists are the ones who get all rapey. First Jos Whedon was outed as a serial hypocrite, and now the dominos keep falling. ---

Here he was just a week or so ago talking about how important it is to cover the ongoing sexual harassment stories: > [@](#): > > “Many of these stories have societal impact in terms of changing the same way that marriage equality has societal impact,” he said. “There are certain things that happen in society that show it’s moving forward.” So maybe he’s not a male feminist, just a sleazy Leftist like Harvey Weinstein. ---

[Moderating] Since there doesn’t seem to be much new content in this thread, I’ll just close this one and refer people over to the MPSIMS one.
