Letter: Kirby’s Morgan Freeman column shows he doesn’t get it

In his May 27 column, Robert Kirby talks about Morgan Freeman’s fall resulting from the #MeToo movement and asks how we know he hasn’t been sexually harassed or assaulted.

True, but does he know what it is like to be subjected to sexual harassment from the time he hit puberty? To spend an entire life afraid to walk on dark streets because he might be raped while men do that freely? To have to put up with sexual harassment to keep a job he needs to feed his kids or to be harassed just for walking down the street — for his entire life? No, you don’t get it.
