Let’s consider a scenario. Your boss (for argument’s sake, we will call him Donald Trump) asks you to hire a well-educated, very qualified male for an important job, which he will have for life. However, your daughter (or wife, aunt, niece, mother, partner or female friend) is “100 percent certain” that this man once sexually assaulted her and she was afraid he could have killed her.
When these allegations come to light, the applicant screams, rants and blames others, including people he will need to work with, fully denying them, but admitting to other abhorrent, misogynistic behavior. Members of his profession urge you not to hire this applicant.
After a five-day investigation, “limited in scope” where no witnesses are called, no cross-examination is given, a key witness remains at his beach house, and no full assessment of the facts is completed, you are asked to make a decision.
Would you hire this applicant? Fifty-one senators, including five women, just did. I wonder what they will tell their daughters?
