Monica Crowley: There’s Different Classes of Predators and Victims and We Need an Honest Conversation About That

EXCERPT:

CROWLEY: "We’re in this cultural moment now where we have this frenzy. We don’t know how far it’s going to go. But I think we have to start the conversation now that, to Jim’s point, there are different classes of predators and different classes of victims and we need to start having an honest conversation about that. On college campuses now for a long time, they’ve been talking about exactly what you’re laying out. For every move somebody might want to make on somebody else, they have to ask for permission at every single stage because the sense of appropriateness has been lost and moreover the sense of common sense, Laura. So I think there is a danger of the pendulum swinging in the opposite direction. Again, this is not to excuse bad behavior in any form. But I think we have to have a conversation now where we talk about degrees and introduce some common sense and some rationality into the conversation."
