Susan Del Percio: ‘Woman Are Feeling Safe Now’

‘This has been happening for decades, it’s been accepted as a norm’

EXCERPT:

DEL PERCIO: "It never was that way. Listening to especially the Al Franken comments, more of the workplace kind of sexual harassment versus the molestation comments or concerns, one thing I started to realize is, how many pats on the bum did I get or a colleague, or how many times did we hear 'Stay away from this one?' It was just a norm, it was just a matter of a little bit of survival. And it’s not necessarily I’m making a 'Me too' comment; it was just the way it was accepted and no one wanted to rock the boat. And I think we are still going to see some issues down in Washington, especially women are scared to come forward, because there are so many other implications. You don’t want to be the one to take down your party, for example." 
BRZEZINSKI: "But I think less so." 
DEL PERCIO: "Women are feeling safe now. And that is probably one of the more significant things that we’re seeing in this climate."
