1. There are so many like him - abusive, petty "rulers" who skate by because they don't sexually harass anyone. What they do is still harmful. It still ENDS careers. We lose so many voices to these emotional terrorists.

3. Just a hearty fuck you to everyone who enables abusers knowing full well what they are doing to others. Seriously.
