But unless I am a bad judge of character, Biden did what he did for love - that rare type of love that can physically express itself even to strangers and that Biden continued in despite the ridicule he has received for it over the years. Weinstein did what he did for power and for himself. It seems to me that the clear answer is love. I have heard commentators argue and wonder aloud about why it seems, on a gut level, that Biden’s actions are different not only in degree, but also in kind, from those of, say, Harvey Weinstein. There is no such thing as a free lunch after all. I only wanted to write about, and express sorrow for, the price. If, at the end of the day, we must squelch behavior like that exhibited by Biden to produce a fair and just society, then squelch it we shall. I know that I do not understand the female experience, and I want everyone to be able to live their lives comfortably and free from fear, threats, harassment, or worse. And I do not wish to cast aspersions on the #MeToo movement at all.
It has nothing to do with Biden’s politics, trust me. Please do not mistake this sorrowfulness as a political opinion. And so it was with sorrow that I read and watched this most recent news cycle related to Biden’s unusual social behaviors with respect to women.
