I used to work in an office with lots of women in a liberal setting (government). I was a handsome dude, and anyone in the same circumstance can attest to this.
If a man says/does something it's called sexual harassment. If a woman does it's called fair game. I was once promoted "because you have a nice ass". My most recent supervisor was constantly trying to get into my shorts. The last instance being on the way back to the office from a meeting she said "there's Adam and Eve, you want to stop?". Did I file claims? Of course not, but you can bet your ass a woman would most likely do just that, because they play the victim role.
Did anyone ever threaten your job if you didn't sleep with them? While the comments you received were very sexist, that's not why women complain or sue.
Women sue when their jobs are threatened, when they lose raises and promotions because they say no.
Corporate culture comes from the top down. When the CEO is allowed to demand sexual favours from the talent, and the owner of the corporations pay off his lawsuits, others in the organization are empowered to do the same.
For at least 15 years, Rupert Murdoch not only tolerated this behaviour, he enabled it by settling the lawsuits and obtaining non-disclosure clauses from the claimants.
In such a poisonous environment, all the "stars" would feel they could do it too. That this was acceptable behaviour.
When office relationships are ongoing, people know, regardless of how discreet or careful the participants may think they're being.
Now that the truth about Ailes and O'Reilly are public, more and more women will continue to come forward.
These men are predators in the same way as child molestors and serial rapists are predators. Trump keeps defending them because, as he admitted to Billy Bush, he's a predator too.
