Would Brown's conduct still be "deeply disturbing", and so on, if he were an accountant rather than a politician.
Accountants can do deeply disturbing things too, but it takes a lot more to lose their career over it. That's pretty much the point I'm making, this isn't about #MeToo running amok, it's about a politician having less than stellar past and it costing him his career.
Heck, this isn't even a man/woman issue. I would love to run for office but I have my own skeletons in the closet from my younger days so I went into, you guessed it... accounting.
There is a different set of rules for politicians and Patrick Brown learned that lesson the hard way, unlike me.
