I really hate writing about negative things every week. But the world really is a scary place right now. We are going through our generation’s version of the cold war with North Korea. We have a war between the White House and NFL players. And we are starting to see a culture of sexual harassment take over.

From the Baylor football team to Hollywood to our president and everywhere in-between. The number of actresses coming forward about what happened between them and Harvey Weinstein keeps growing. Weinstein is now the subject of police investigations in three cities, London, New York and Los Angeles.

Weinstein is not the only, and will not be the last, man of power to be accused of harassment. For example Bill O’Reilly, Bill Cosby and Donald Trump have all been accused by multiple women of sexual assault. Cosby was able to go decades without ever having to face his accusers. Trump was elected president. O’Reilly reportedly paid $32 million to settle with his accuser right before renewing his contract with Fox News. It is reported that Fox knew of the settlement before giving him his new contract.

Many at Fox News including the since-fired O’Reilly have been quick to attack Weinstein, a longtime Democratic donor, and rightfully so. He deserves every bad thing he will experience in this life and the next. But these same voices are all voices who have and continue to defend Trump. Let us not forget the many women accusing Trump and the now infamous grab her by the p**** tape.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos reversed an Obama-era policy on Campus Sexual Assault Investigations. Stating the policy went too far against those being accused. Making it harder and, to some, impossible to come forward about their sexual harassment cases. Also releasing a statement saying the old rules “lacked basic elements of fairness.”

What does this say of the view our country and leaders have of sexual harassment? We can’t have it both ways. Sexual harassment is a serious problem our country has been facing for a long time and continues to struggle with. These men of power can do and say whatever they want to women without consequences just because of who they are.

Two weeks after the initial “New York Times” investigation came out, many movements against sexual assault have taken off. Probably most notably through the hashtag #MeToo. The hashtag has taken over social media, with many sharing their own stories of sexual harassment.

We need more of these movements to let people know they are not alone. That people are there and willing to help and fight for them.

So how do we change it? I don’t want to hear anyone say, “It’s the girl’s fault, she was dressed slutty and asking for it.”

That is beyond messed up, and the same mindset that has let this problem run unchecked for so many years in our country. I honestly don’t know the answers, but I do believe we need to have better education on sexual harassment in schools earlier. We need to change the mindset of our country and get rid of this evil.
