I'm gonna tell you why I personally find this Giuliani thing so revolting...

40. As someone born in the 40s, there was just so much that we happened that we took for

Granted that would be ignored and "not made an issue of." One of them is that almost any man is in more of a position of power than almost any woman. If your ass was fondled in an elevator and you turned around, everybody looked innocent. Nobody was going to say "he did it." Most of the time at work in the 60s and 70s it wasn't that overt, but when Mad Men was so popular, my kids were surprised to find out I did not enjoy it and I explained that time period was no so great for women. If you were a secretary they often referred to you as their "girl." Men took credit for your ideas and you let them

Now the late 70s and 80s were another thing. At least we women were starting to stick together more. I remember when my ex-husband joined Rotary and I joined the ladies group. Some of our get togethers were fun and some of the get togethers with the men and ladies were fun. However, some of the older ladies counseled me never to stand next to or be seated next to X. When I questioned them, they said, if you stand next to him, he pinches, if he's seated next to you he feels your thigh. Everyone!! Apparently, he didn't discriminate. But as far as I know, no one ever confronted him about it. He was otherwise a nice guy, well thought of and told funny stories. Everybody loved his wife.

I mean, this was not work related, but it's still the male dominant society where we were expected to put up with a little bit of nastiness and not make waves to get along.
