Why does it also not delight me that the extent of the allegations against him, at least on some showings, is ?unwanted advances?? It might be argued, by the cynical or the naive, that all ?advances? begin that way. True, a period of a matter of months is specified, but don?t I seem to recall, in President Obama?s jaunty account of his courtship, that it took him a certain amount of time to ?wear down? his intended target? I dare say that many of us could say the same, while reminiscing among friends, and still hope to avoid getting too many sidelong looks. But in the present circumstances there seems to be a danger of a straight-out politicization of the sexual harassment issue, with many people deciding it in advance on the simple basis of campaign calculations, or?to put it more crudely?of whose ox is being gored. This appears to represent a general coarsening by silence, and yet another crude element in a depressing campaign.
