Got an email last night from a reader in her 60s criticizing my reporting on Cuomo because, she said, in her day, working women learned to either put up with sexual harassment or leave. "Work in a man’s world, learn to deal with it, or walk away," she said. It made me so sad.
The saddest part is she's not wrong, but she shouldn't be, and it's only through revealing these patterns of abuse by powerful people that we have a shot in hell of making anything better.
