Are women the problem in the sexual harassment “reckoning?” A roundup of editorials Friday takes a look at the issue.

Opinions from the Left:

1. Women enable men like Matt Lauer and Charlie Rose

From CNN: Why do women excuse the actions of men who misbehave?

2. Matt Lauer is gone. He's left heartbreak in his wake

The Guardian: It’s time to embrace the ones who come forward, not give the abusers comfort.

3. The sexual harassment reckoning

From USA Today: Stop putting blame on Democrats or Republicans. It’s not a political issue, it’s an issue of right and wrong.
