We refuse to accept sexual abuse and we are, albeit late, standing for our rights. No, we’re not “accepting,” T.C. Morgan, letter Dec. 1.

Mr. Morgan states, “It’s not just Democrats and Republicans. It’s every segment of society,” then contradicts this statement saying it’s “Democrat liberalism,” naming Clinton, Weiner, Pelosi. Clinton was impeached, Weiner is no longer a politician and Pelosi called for the resignation of the accused Democrat Conyers.

Roy Moore, Republican of Alabama, has been accused by numerous teenagers who are now adults, of sexual harassment, actually getting banned from a mall due to his predatory behavior. President Trump supports Moore saying, “We need his vote;we can’t let a liberal gain office.” Vote/decency.

This abuse has been happening for decades, but now is front and center.

’Tis the year of the woman.
