For those of us who were young adults in the 1980s, today's War on Women seems quaint. The Bill Cosby meme disaster is so last week, but I am struck by what the trolls are saying about what happened 30 years ago. I've heard, "Where's the police report?", "Where's the evidence of an HR investigation?", "Where's the proof?", "Where's the DA report?".
I had a front row seat in the working world of the 1980s. It's true you can't take these 6 or 7 anecdotes and say that's the way it was everywhere for everyone in the 1980s, but I think my experiences are fairly typical for the time. Here's (IMO) why there's no police, DA, or HR reports and not enough proof to satisfy all who ask.
UPDATE: This diary needs a trigger warning. If you are sensitive to sexual harassment and/or rape narratives, the stories I tell in this diary may be disturbing to you.
