Blanca Blanco and sexual harrassment

Sun., Jan. 21, 2018

Is this some kind of joke? All these women coming out distressed about sexual harassment. Did you see on the front page (Spokesman-Review, Jan. 9) how Blanca Blanco was dressed for the Golden Globes? If that “attire” doesn’t advertise “touch me,” “look at me,” “see that I’m sexually available,” then I don’t know what would aside from being totally naked in front of any normal straight man.

I admit I’m a baby boomer and back in my day this kind of woman was known as a tease, and believe me, nothing good ever came from being a tease. I hope I’m not alone in still believing there are two sides to every story.
