A quick thought on the quickening pace at which powerful men are losing their jobs due to their harassment of women. -- (edited)

Good.

Their positions of power play a huge role in their ability to harass without consequences. They should lose those positions. In fact, the best way to recover a career may be to willingly resign that power.

I think Franken should resign if he truly wishes to show contrition. Give up some of the power that has allowed him to be inappropriate towards women. He can't resign from the power his fame as a comedian gives him, but he can resign from the power being a politician gives him.

Being a politician isn't the only way he can champion his causes and his moral position on those may be stronger if willingly accepts the consequences of his actions toward women.
