    Another Neil deGrasse Tyson accuser has come forward

    Another woman has come forward and accused Neil deGrasse Tyson of sexual misconduct.

    The renowned astrophysicist is already being investigated by National Geographic — the company behind Tyson’s award-winning show, “Cosmos” — after getting hit with multiple allegations of harassment last month.


    Three women have accused him of inappropriate behavior, and a fourth was revealed Wednesday in a BuzzFeed News piece. Tyson has denied any wrongdoing.


    “We take his word at face value,” the new accuser said. “I think he’s exploiting that relationship to get people to believe him.”


    The fourth woman claims Tyson drunkenly approached her during a holiday party at the American Museum of Natural History, where he works, in January 2010 and began making crude comments and jokes toward her before eventually suggesting that they both go into his office alone.
    The woman had been invited to the party by her then-boyfriend, who was also an employee. Emails obtained by BuzzFeed show that she later mentioned the alleged interaction in a 2014 email to her employers — in an attempt to “shoot down a proposed collaboration with Tyson,” the site reports.


    The woman told two friends about what allegedly happened, who later confirmed the accusations during interviews with BuzzFeed.

    We are finding new allegations of sexual misconduct about as fast as we are finding new galaxies in the universe. Question: Are all men pigs or are all women such frail little beings that any contact with a male leaves them shaken and abused?

    Answer is in Genesis, IMHO.

    I'm not a "crude comments and jokes" kind of guy - but if I'm a woman and the man isn't my boss, it's not something that I have to deal with on an ongoing basis from a coworker, and no laws are broken in the process, I think the current tendency to lump crude passes in with rape and sexual assault in condemning and sanctioning individuals is wrong-headed and ridiculous. The great majority of us - men and women alike - are both sexual beings and subject to the occasional error in saying the wrong thing to the wrong person. Very, very few of us are perfect, Mr. Rogers-like paragons of virtue and in total control of our senses (and mouths) for the entirety of our lives. Let he (or she) who has never told the wrong joke to the wrong person or misinterpreted another person's feelings or inclinations toward us cast the first stone.

    I agree with you but unfortunately the precedent has been set and the bar raised and the left seems to enforce it.

    Just look what they tried to do to Kavanaugh, thank goodness the GOP saw through it and pushed the man through, based on ALL LIES he could have had his life destroyed.

    So now jokes and verbal advances are illegal? Did she oh
    1) Walk away
    2) Tell him those jokes offended her and to please stop?

    If I were in my 20's and I'd seriously consider a sex bot. With the technology we have today why not. Women , whom apparently all hate all male advances, could get high level sex toys too.
    Then when they are ready there could be a website with a "dating contract" they could both sign and they could set about meeting a life mate without any touching . LOL
    Odd though the sales of mini -skirts, v-necks, stiletos, tight sweaters , over the top makeup and Victoria's Secret products are so high, isn't it? . If women want no form of advance , even words, and never want to be seen as sex objects why do these things sell so well?
    Are men reporting false sales data? After all everything men do is evil.
    It's like this, for the most part this is a sexualized society bombarded by sexual imagery all the time for an act we spend less than 1% of our lives engaged in . Men are still expected to make the advances most of the time. Not honoring NO to those advances is very wrong. But making them to begin with is how we all got here !

    Republicans should not fall into the democrat trap of setting people up.

    As far as im concerned Dr Grasse is innocent until proven guilty. The multiple accuser thing means nothing anymore since Kavanaughs accusers were multiple liars
