In a wonderful article by Nicole Serratore in the New York Times entitled, "James Comey and the Predator in Chief," the author describes Comey's private dinner meeting with Donald Trump as "the experience of a woman being harassed by her powerful, predatory
boss. There was precisely that sinister air of coercion, of an employee
helpless to avoid unsavory contact with an employer who is trying to
grab what he wants."
Comey was "stunned" to find himself in potentially compromising positions.
Ms. Serratore comments that for a woman who has spent a lifetime wrestling with situations where men
have power they can abuse, this was disturbingly familiar. That reaction — the choice of stillness, responses calculated to neither encourage nor offend. Comey said he wanted to avoid granting any favor while avoiding the risk of direct confrontation — a problem so deeply resonant for women.
She goes on to ask, "Mr. Comey, you are not alone. How many of us have played over and over
in our minds an encounter that suddenly took a creepy, coercive turn?
What did I say? Were my signals clear? Did I do something ambiguous? Did
I say something compromising?...What woman has not tried to remain invisible from an unwelcome pursuer’s attentions?"
"Mr. Comey did not want to be left alone with his boss again. We’ve been there, Jim."
