Of course Donna Karan was victim blaming. I didn't say otherwise. Not sure why you would think I was saying otherwise or doubting that (other than you think the worst in folks). My point is that you were suggesting I was victim blaming by comparing my question to Donna Karan's statement. Then turn around and acknowledge that other (respectable) people were doing the same.

And get over yourself. No one is asking you to hold their hand. I ask the questions because I am just curious about other peoples POV, not because I need you to school me.
And you got your head up your own ass if you think I'd need YOU to school me on this shit when I was raised by a career mom and got a wife with a career who deals with this all of her life as well. That I would need you to tell me what it's like to be a woman in uncomfortable sexually inappropriate but suppose to be professional situations?
This sort of self-important condescension is why the term "Woke" has become a joke.
