no I was serious, are these women really heroes?
How about if they would have came forward years, sometimes decades ago, would they have saved other women form the same fate?
I think in most cases yes.
that's what I meant, they are only brave now because they found comfort in numbers

Yep - they're heroes.
It takes an immense amount of courage to come forward like they have. As we have seen, they are ruthlessly attacked once they do. Many would have risked their careers to come forward alone (and we have seen that in the Weinstein case).
Your ignorance gets really old & tired after awhile.

Larry Edwin Craig (born July 20, 1945) is a retired American politician from Idaho. He served 18 years in the U.S. Senate (1991–2009), preceded by 10 years in the U.S. House, representing Idaho's first district (1981–91).[1] His 28 years in Congress rank as the second-longest in Idaho history, trailing only William Borah, who served over 32 years in the Senate. In addition to serving in Congress, Craig has been a member of the Board of Directors of the National Rifle Association since 1983.[2] Craig was selected for induction into the Idaho Hall of Fame in 2007.[3][4]
On August 27, 2007, the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call revealed that Craig had been arrested for lewd conduct in a men's restroom at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on June 11, 2007, and entered a guilty plea to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct on August 8, 2007.[5] Despite firmly stating that he was not and never had been gay, Craig announced his intention to resign from the Senate at a news conference on September 1, 2007, but later decided to finish the remainder of his term.

I'm being somewhat cynical here as I think it's great women are standing up but we have people on this board who say white women deserve this because they voted for Trump and that a guy sexually harassing a woman isn't that important as long as he votes correctly.
So how will things really change with those beliefs?

John Dennis Hastert (/ˈhæstərt/; born January 2, 1942) is a former American congressman who served as the 51st Speaker of the United States House of Representatives from 1999 to 2007, representing Illinois's 14th congressional district from 1987 to 2007. He is the longest-serving Republican Speaker of the House in history, and is the highest-ranking politician in U.S. history to have gone to prison.[1]
Hastert grew up in rural Illinois. He graduated from Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois, with a degree in economics in 1964 and obtained an education degree from Northern Illinois University three years later. From 1965 to 1981, Hastert was a high school teacher and coach. He lost a 1980 bid for the Illinois House of Representatives, but tried again and won a seat in 1981. He was first elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1986, and re-elected every subsequent election until he retired in 2007. Hastert rose through the Republican ranks in the House, becoming chief deputy whip and eventually Speaker in 1999. As Speaker of the House, Hastert supported the George W. Bush administration's foreign and domestic policies. After Democrats took control of the House in 2007 following the 2006 election, Hastert chose not to seek the position of minority leader, resigned his House seat, and became a lobbyist at the firm of Dickstein Shapiro.
In May 2015, Hastert was indicted on federal charges of structuring bank withdrawals to evade bank reporting requirements and making false statements to federal investigators.[2][3] Federal prosecutors said that the money was to compensate for and conceal deliberately unspecified misconduct by Hastert against an unnamed individual years earlier.[4][5][6][7][8] Soon afterward, public accusations emerged that Hastert had sexually abused three male students (including the aforementioned unnamed individual) when he was a teacher more than three decades earlier.[9][10][11][12][13][14]
In October 2015, Hastert entered into a plea agreement with prosecutors. Under the agreement, Hastert pleaded guilty to the "structuring" charge (a felony), and the charge of making false statements was dropped.[15] In court submissions on sentencing considerations filed in April 2016, federal prosecutors made allegations of sexual misconduct against Hastert, saying that he had molested at least four boys as young as 14 while he worked as a high school wrestling coach decades earlier.[16] At the sentencing hearing later that month, Hastert admitted that he had sexually abused boys whom he coached.[17] The judge in the case referred to Hastert as a "serial child molester" and imposed a sentence of fifteen months in prison, two years' supervised release, and a $250,000 fine.[18][1] He entered the Federal Medical Center prison in Rochester, Minnesota in 2016 and was released the following year, after 13 months in prison.[19]

he may get it when hes frogged marched out of the oval office
While Republicans don't seem to care, as long as the harasser/abuser votes correctly... There seems to have been a shift in America's attitude on this issue and I think we have some permanent improvement, people like Weinstein and Lauer are OUT and its much less of a stigma for a woman to make the accusation.
The way they treated Anita Hill will not happen again.

Larry Craig. Wide Stance Larry.
The same guy that called Bill Clinton a "Bad boy, a nasty boy", a "bad, nasty boy" on national TV.
A homosexual version of the pedophile Roy Moore
Or if it had been Trump again this year.
