You may have seen this on Facebook. I am not on Facebook, but received this from someone about 2 weeks ago without any identifying information other than a 404 area code at the bottom of the screen. I found out who the woman is. The older woman is her aunt or mother. She still has an active website.
This video is from a program broadcast in Atlanta 8-10 years ago on public TV. It was forced off of the airways because of viewer complaints. If you agree with any of her line of reasoning, then her conclusion might be a valid one, yes??

LONG article which you will probably only scan, but it puts Cosby’s perversions in a stronger personal context when they are viewed as a group rather than as 1-3 or 4 women coming forth at one time.
‘I’m No Longer Afraid’: 35 Women Tell Their Stories About Being Assaulted by Bill Cosby, and the Culture That Wouldn’t Listen

You can spot them. The frozen ones who come outside at lunch like sun-seeking turtles, cardigans balled up next to them, bare shoulders defrosting in the noon sunlight, no matter how wilting it is outdoors.
Every single woman I talked to in downtown Washington on a hot, humid July afternoon was thawing out.
“I. Am. Fuh-reezing. Feel my hand — I’m still cold,” said Ruth Marshall, 64, who was seated on a park bench, face to the sky. And, yes, her hand felt like a cold steak. “I have to come out here for 30 minutes at a time just to warm up,” said Marshall, the director of administration at a construction firm where the air conditioning is set to Arctic.
It’s the time of year desperate women rely on cardigans, pashminas and space heaters to make it through the workweek in their frigid offices. And their male colleagues barely notice.
…Frozen workers make more errors and are less productive, according to Alan Hedge, professor of design and environmental analysis and director of Cornell’s Human Factors and Ergonomics Laboratory, who studied office temperatures about a decade ago.
Researchers had their hands on the controls at an insurance office for a month. And when they warmed the place from 68 to 77 degrees, typos went down by 44 percent and productivity went up by 150 percent.

The question about how much care to give a dying person in their last moments is one of the most contentious issues in medicine, instantly raising worries that any decision to not give a person treatment might be about saving money.
A new study finds that, at least in cancer, there’s a very real medical reason to consider giving less treatment at the end of life: chemotherapy doesn’t improve dying patients’ quality of life. In fact, for those terminal cancer patients who were doing the best at the beginning of the study and were least disabled by their cancer, receiving chemotherapy was associated with worse quality of life near death.
SAME SUBJECT, BETTER ARTICLE — When Chemotherapy Does More Harm than Good
Chemotherapy has saved countless lives and is a mainstay of cancer care. But the latest data suggests that it can also do more harm than good for some patients.
A cancer diagnosis is a life-altering event, and the news—let alone making decisions about how to manage treatment—is already challenging enough. But with a terminal diagnosis, those choices become even more fraught. At some point, say ethicists, doctors and patient advocates, enough is enough. Meaning the potential for benefit has to be weighed against the quality of what life is likely to be left. But where is that line? And how does each patient find it?
…Despite the intuitive sense that any treatment is better than none, there is not much evidence that chemotherapy is the right choice in these cases—and it may very well be the wrong one. Prigerson’s analysis showed that these patients experience a drop in their quality of life if they get chemo, and that they are therefore worse off than if they hadn’t opted for the treatment. On measures of things like whether they could continue to walk on their own and take care of themselves and keep up with their daily activities, those on chemotherapy reported marked declines compared to patients who opted not to receive more chemo.
