norton Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 MeToo supporters want it both ways. They want to be perceived as strong and independent, not needing a man. They also want to be perceived as little girls, who need protection from anything they don't like or want. At the time. Or maybe two days later. Or maybe they wanted it at the time but 20 years later they think they didn't. What a screwed up world we live in. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historian Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I think this has gone about as far as it can go. Some bad guys have been nailed for it. But the recent supreme court addition was slimmed by this. Wrongly. And I think the vast majority of Americans who saw what happened are about to revolt against the movement. Wrong is wrong: It's easy to see. Don't abuse your right to point it out. It's like crying fire in a theater. You get one chance to do it right. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batesmotel Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 My wife’s company is already seeing it. Major player in the financial world. Lots of men don’t want to travel with female coworkers or travel to see female clients if there will be any socializing. A lot of women are going to be cut out of the loop and be right back to hitting the glass ceiling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve4102 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Why stop with Employment? It appears the #MeToo's are attacking their husbands as well. To avoid having to sleep with one eye open for the rest of your life, marriage should be avoided along with employing women. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/timothymeads/2018/10/13/this-dudes-life-must-stink-wapo-publishes-asinine-article-about-a-feminist-yelling-at-her-husband-n2528207?utm_source=thdaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl&newsletterad=&bcid=f3b32cb9739f7ac823837210e9d3eaf4&recip=27116010 men are incapable of being good, even if they oppose sexism. Men are, by nature, vile and terrible, and can’t fix anything by listening to women – instead, they must change from within. Sadly, though, they’re not capable of such change, which begs the question: what the hell are men supposed to do, aside from die?" I yelled at my husband last night. Not pick-up-your-socks yell. Not how-could-you-ignore-that-red-light yell. This was real yelling. This was 30 minutes of from-the-gut yelling. Triggered by a small, thoughtless, dismissive, annoyed, patronizing comment. Really small. A micro-wave that triggered a hurricane. I blew. Hard and fast. And it terrified me. I’m still terrified by what I felt and what I said. I am almost 70 years old. I am a grandmother. Yet in that roiling moment, screaming at my husband as if he represented every clueless male on the planet (and I every angry woman of 2018), I announced that I hate all men and wish all men were dead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collim1 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) Already hearing reports of this at our local university. Women employees complaining that male coworkers no longer speak to them about non work related things, and won’t be alone in a room with them. Self preservation. Can’t have it both ways.

The very least I would do is walk out on this woman, then and there! She is not a wife and a lover, but a shrew simply looking for a way to vent her frustration at her own shortcomings. It's always someone else's fault! Screw it, your better off alone, that with that (female dog). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown Hawk Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Why is this in any way surprising to anyone with a working brain? But of course most leftists, elitists, University profs, and Hollywood ventriloquists dummys don’t have working brains. I won’t get on an elevator without a protector with me. Besides, running up and down flights of stairs is better for my health. Billy Graham would never ride an elevator with unaccompanied women, or enter a hotel room that hadn’t been searched by his security, or let a maid come inside while he was in the room. I guess he is starting to get a LOT of converts! Hawk 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, what they asked for was the ability to destroy ANY man that they want to destroy, for any reason they want to make up without any proof or investigation. That would even include turning down a woman when she wanted sex and he didn’t, so she accuses him of rape and the rest get a rope for the lynching. Among other, longer term consequences are men will be on juries which will then remain hung, because those men will be feeling the rope around their own necks, men will start to not vote for female candidates for office, and start not signing up for university classes taught by females. And these men will be joined by women who have really been raped, and find that this hysteria has so belittled what happened to them that all they feel is rage against these “#metooIwillfalselyaccuse” idiots. As willie-pete noted above, the law of unintended consequences. So they didn’t get what they asked for, they are getting the opposite of their verbal asking, just the consequences of what their actions asked for. As Gunny Taylor used to say “too stupid to pour piss out of a boot with the instructions printed on the bottom.” Hawk PS: Sorry, janice6, I get to damn long winded sometimes. Maybe I should run for the Senate. ??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It amazes me how few people realize that the Vice President of the United States would be a target for false accusations. So while even if .1% of accusations are false, those who would make a false accusation are going to gun for people like Pence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janice6 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Pence and other men, cannot control what others do around them. He can only control his actions and environment. Considering the odds of a false charge by someone else, all he can do is limit the potential harm. We see how everyday people of some notoriety are accused of "mis/mal treatment" of others. Some of it is false. To ensure your professional and marital survival, you do what must be done to protect yourself. Even when it means that those who wish you harm complain that you have diminished their chances of accomplishing that harm. Kudos to him for attempting to forestall a "Kavanaugh Moment".
