Michael Reagan, son of former President Ronald Reagan, decided today that he should weigh in on the recent Bill O’Reilly sexual harassment scandal. The 72-year-old white male also then decided he should educate the world on who the true victims are in these cases: the poor men who can’t help but get aroused when there’s a bit of cleavage on display.
Bill O’Reilly was recently fired from his job at Fox News, after a years long string of sexual harassment claims finally caused too many advertisers to drop the network. O’Reilly has denied all allegations against him. The culture of sexual harassment at the network seemed to come directly from the top, as Fox News‘ founder Roger Ailes was fired from his position as CEO last year after facing down similar claims.
Reagan first came to O’Reilly’s defense, trying to argue that he was merely complimenting his attractive female coworkers:

The tweet reads:
“Hot Choclare used to be a compliment on your looks today it is called sexual harassment.”
Although it is misspelled, Reagan is referring to Perquita Burgess, who alleged that O’Reilly referred to her by the nickname “Hot Chocolate.” She also told the hosts of The View that O’Reilly also used to make grunting noises at her whenever they were alone together.
Reagan decided to take things a step further after his first tweet, and educate us all on the concept of sexual harassment as a whole:

It reads:
“If women are going to wear low cut dresses that show cleavage don’t be harassed when we men look. Or shld we sue for sexual arousal?”
Ah, the poor men of the world, awash in a sea of cleavage. It’s a wonder we can function at all, what with boobs and butts everywhere.
Reagan’s chauvinistic, victim-blaming approach to what is and is not appropriate in the workplace is a surprisingly common one. We do have a President who infamously bragged that, being famous, he could “grab ’em by the pussy” whenever he wanted.
Fox News only decided to cut O’Reilly loose when he started harming their bottom line, and they still gave him a $25 million parachute on his way out the door.
