Now he’s not so sure. “Have we gotten to the point now where men can’t say, ‘That’s a nice dress’ or ‘Did you do something with your hair?’” says the veteran sales associate for a Los Angeles company. “The potential problem is you can’t even feel safe saying, ‘Good morning’ anymore.” The sexual misconduct allegations that have brought down powerful men in Hollywood, media, politics and business are sending a shiver through...
