" Caruso told The New York Times that after she shared her story of sexual assault at a University of Nevada event in 2016, Biden hugged her "just a little bit too long" and put his hand on her thigh."
To me, being borderline inappropriate to women right after they shared something like this is very dark indeed. I know Biden straddles the line and even parents and husbands defend him after he is inappropriate with their loved ones however, I feel it is especially damaging to invade an abuse victim's space and distress her with behavior that is confusing and intimate right after she has made herself vulnerable by sharing her story.
Nevertheless as creepy as Joe Biden is, he is the only acceptable choice for president. But that doesn't mean we have to close our eyes to his inappropriate behavior.
Still I find Tara Reade's story suspect because it is out of character for Biden. I mean if he made a habit of crossing that line he straddles so athletically and actually sexually assaulting women we would have heard about it by now. We wouldn't only have that one incident. That doesn't change the fact that he is inappropriate with women a lot. And in very dark ways like at events dealing with sexual assault. But he is a world class line straddler so not much to be done.
However he is not Donald Trump and that's the most important thing in this coming election. So he has my vote.

It seems to me that the younger generations are getting less physically demonstrative and more ready to jump on the bandwagon of calling just about anything harassment or assault. I have been hugged by older relatives longer than was comfortable and have had friends male and female place a hand on my leg during conversation. Neither has been creepy to me nor have a I felt assaulted even when I found one or the other slightly uncomfortable. Both are normal everyday actions that some people take. If Biden were a woman the actions would probably have been viewed as emotionally supportive or seen as one of those every day actions. Now I am not in Bidens head nor have I ever met the man personally. I do not know the motivation behind his actions. They could have been truly innocent or they could have not been. I am simply pointing out the generational difference for one, and that some people are more inclined to physical contact than others. Women dont want men to be the only ones able to practice medicine or make more money than they do. They want equality across the board... So honestly, are women willing to give men equality across the board as well in being physically and emotionally demonstrative, and not look down on them if they choose a classically female career? I am kind of rambling with this I know... I just woke up. Anyhow, the point I am trying to get to I think is that Biden has no straight up allegations of sexual assault that I have heard of... No pussy grabbing or anything blatantly sexual in nature, just what some people viewed as creepy, or inappropriate, unless I missed something major. If I was charged with something every time someone saw my actions as creepy or inappropriate, I would have lost every job within possibly a day in a few cases. I watch people a lot until I get to know them and feel comfortable with them in my vicinity and the intense looks I know I am capable of coupled with frequent looks towards someone could certainly make them uncomfortable. Just saying. Ok Im gonna stop now. Morning all... The generational difference was pointed out to me by someone else... That one I probably would not have seen on my own so just to give credit or not claim it where it isnt mine... Bye
