Letter: Professional men in positions of power

Regarding former federal judge Joshua Kindred and former Alaska Attorney General Kevin Clarkson: Why are professional men in positions of power permitted to intimidate and sexually pursue women, and engage in attendant misconduct, in the course of their professional responsibilities — until they are somehow caught?

That is called professional misconduct, plain and simple — even under the Rules of the Alaska Bar Association. I find it reprehensible that professional men in positions of power consider such conduct permissible unless and until discovered and appropriately reported.

But hey — Donald Trump, a candidate for the highest office in this country, can purportedly grab ‘em by their genitals with no harm and no foul.
