I'm going say with the upmost respect for the rule of law. [View all]

If you break any laws and try to deny it? You definitely deserve the repercussions of your behavior and actions!

If you sexually assault someone you need to be punished. I don’t care if you are powerful or not.

But to defend or overlook the situation? You’re complicit in the situation.

If you knew it was going on and you wanted the victim not say anything? You’re complicit in this too!

The Swalwell case is disturbing and I’m not sure what to say. If he did this? Then he needs to face the consequences. In order to save any future embarrassment, he probably should resign and drop out of the Governor race. If he can prove this never happened? I’m hoping he can get back his reputation.

Although, there is blatantly obvious hypocrisy out there! And it is wrapped around the Epstein scandal.

No one should be treated differently and yet no one is above the law, period. This all is coming out because men have no respect for women.

I’m a male, yet I was taught to be respectful and treated women with the dignity they deserve. I have 6 sisters and many female relatives, so I know how to respect them.

Men think women are objects and they are far from it and are human beings too.

I have been around so many guys who say absolutely horrible things about women. I don’t let them get away with either.

So, this horrible treatment of women need to stop. I don’t care if it’s the president to a low life individual.
