Just generally, the Left has gotten away with egregious behavior for decades. One wonders how they do it. They just do it and it's OK when they do it, not when someone else does. Because they are (were) our social superiors.
Until things change. #metoo is a part of that. I don't know how much of it to believe, but some of it is real and justified, and those guys could just do that stuff up to now.
