A Slap in the Face



October 16, 2019

Actor Cuba Gooding, Jr. now has 14 women waiting to testify against him for sexually inappropriate behavior, with incidents going back several years.

I wish people were conditioned to react automatically—a slap in the face, a punch to the groin—when others physically harassed them. (I’m not specifying women, because men get harassed, too.) Then maybe, just maybe, the harassers might get the idea that their behavior isn’t acceptable.

At the very least, it wouldn’t be a free ride for them.

And we might be able to avoid some trials.
