In yet another example of how chauvinism and lechery apparently exist on both sides of the aisle, Florida Democratic Party Chair Stephen Bittel resigned Friday after he was accused of "creepy" behavior toward women with whom he worked.

His resignation follows a Politico report citing several women who spoke on the condition of anonymity, but who alleged that Bittel's remarks and body language made for a demeaning and unprofessional work environment for female staffers and consultants.

Allegations against Bittel ranged. At least one accuser said he often made remarks to women about their age or "showing their breasts" and that he allegedly invited some of them onto his private plane. One woman recalled there being "a lot of boob stuff in his office," including a "breast-shaped stress squeeze-ball he has been known to keep on his desk."

Calls for his resignation ensued, and he announced he would be leaving his post late Friday morning via FDP's Twitter.

“When my personal situation becomes distracting to our core mission of electing Democrats and making Florida better, it is time for me to step aside,” the post reads.

Bittel had been the state Democratic Party chair for less than a year, and took office as devastating electoral losses in 2016 and bitter party infighting seemed to make for a bleak future for the state's Dems. Even the race for FDP chair was fraught with political intrigue. Bittel said in his resignation note that recent wins for the party suggest things are looking up. He also apologized for making anyone uncomfortable and said he's working to set a date at which the party can elect his successor

The report and Bittel's ensuing resignation come during a seemingly unprecedented groundswell of support for women and men who have been subjected to degrading behavior, objectified, groped, sexually assaulted or worse. If the allegations are true, Bittel joins a growing list of powerful men who are being called out for inappropriate behavior toward women (and in quite a few cases, men), largely in professional settings where speaking up could put one's career at risk.
