New York Post gossip columnist Cindy Adams used her column Tuesday to tell female victims of sexual harassment to "deal with it" and bemoans the litigious nature of today's women.
Adams said that she was touched inappropriately as a young girl and moved on, and advised her fellow females to do the same.
"Hey, we've all been there," Adams wrote of former New York 1 reporter Adele Sammarco, who lost her sexual harassment case against network executives. "Those things happened to every one us in our earlier days. But that was before the world became so litigious. We've each endured some too tight hug or some slob whose hand wandered where it shouldn't. Deal with it. That's what we did in our younger, prettier days. Dealt with it.

Ugh. The phone rang in the middle of my post so I forgot to add my $.02
The bitch can eat it hard, hot, and fast. As someone who was sexually harassed by a person in seniority when I was 18, I am horrified that she would even suggest something so appalling. At the time I was so shocked, I tried to spin it and make it seem like it could have been accidental, or that I was misinterpreting what happened. But then it happened again, and I quit. I never reported it, and never told my family or friends, which I regret.
With the staggering number of crimes against women and children that go unreported, for her to suggest to just "deal with it" is appalling. I hope she is fired over this.
