the worm is turning on sexual harassment

It's shocking to see the sexual harassment scandals multiply, some really disappointing stuff is coming to light. I wonder if this is a) a reaction by the populace to Trump and all that he has unleashed, realizing that they've been putting up with entirely too much and it's now time to do something about it, or possibly b) a sign of a larger-scale turning away from the indulgent, consumptive, and winner-take-all "culture" of the past half-century.

I feel fortunate that I enjoyed the blandishments of modernity. I had hip replacement and root canal. I was able to travel on airplanes. I was able to take cheap food for granted. I went to the movies. I enjoyed rock 'n' roll. And now I'm ready to move on.
