What is it with the desire to infantilise women & cast them in the role of permanent victims?Archived Message

When I heard the latest accusation against Johnson I actually laughed aloud at its absurdity. For God's sake, what is it with this constant desire to infantilise women and cast them in the role of permanent victims? Charlotte Edwardes was a grown woman, an adult, when this incident allegedly occurred - are we really to believe she couldn't have dealt with it at the time? And there really is no need to be slapping folk across the face - it can be dealt with firmly but with good humour. Dealing with unwanted sexual attention without humiliating the offender (who may have got their signals crossed, particularly at a probably boozy lunch), is surely something all grown-ups learn to do.
