Breaking News!

I watch too much television. Too much of the news channels. It seems that every fifteen minutes the words Breaking News appear. Sometimes there is an actual news item. Sometimes not.

Lately it has been stories of men harassing or abusing women.

And today we learn that the United States Congress finds it necessary to hold training sessions for its members instructing them that it is not ok for them to take advantage of women or young men.

I am pretty sure that none of the parents of these grown men ever thought their offspring would  engage in such activity. Maybe their dads were not great communicators on telling their sons to behave themselves. Perhaps their mothers thought it was just an unspoken fact that to be an honorable person one did not treat women in that manner.

I don't know what the answer is but I would think men from the age of thirty-something on up to the age of the eighties would have figured it out but evidently some of them have not.
