If feminists want to save their movement, they should expel all misandrists from it the same way that Buckley expelled the John Birch Society from the conservative movement.

So you are threadjacking to talk about feminism in general through examples that are not even tangentially related to #MeToo and sexual harrassment or assault.


Like I said, MeToo is merely the latest in a long line of anti-due process pro-male demonization campaigns by the feminist movement. Viewing each lynching the Klan does as different because they rebrand themselves each time and demanding WE prove that YOU haven't lynched an innocent person this time is disingenuous

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

As I pointed out once, George Takei was apparently falsely accused, he denied any wrongdoing, and he's been able to carry on with his public life with no inconvenience.


What actual offense did Franken commit? That has been proven in a court of law before he was hounded out of office?

Also, the very fact for me, that feminists are now attacking and accusing George Takei for even a second is very chilling.

Anyway, the point for me remains that you can be a fucking choirboy or you can be Bill Maher and someone will accuse you if you are a man, plain and simple. Sooner or later, it will happen to every man, regardless of politics, religion, etc. They won't be happy until they've removed us all from any position of power. That's what this is ultimately about: a complete female takeover of everything, reducing men to peonage.

I'm not saying that feminists in general support this, but they're willfully blind to those who really do have that agenda among them. Hiding behind catchphrases like "The Future Is Female."

You're sharting out a lot of random nonsense there, dude.

Also, "feminists" didn't accuse Takei. A man did.

Also, Franken voluntarily resigned after agreeing to an investigation. You don't have to be tried and convicted in a criminal court (specially for something that was probably well beyond statutes of limitations) to voluntarily resign from a political position. And let's not forget that that was the full extent of his self-inflicted "punishment": resigning from the Senate.

It's hardly a free decision when the alternative is harassment and demonization. You can quit your job, or we'll harass you for years, is not a free choice. That he did resign is indicative of the dynamic feminists have imposed.

He "voluntarily" resigned after being hounded out of office and stabbed in the back by the likes of Kirsten Gillibrand. If there's a Hell, which I doubt, she deserves to spend at least a decade there.

This issue impacts minority men disproportionately due to the intersection of racism and sexism. Violence against the accused, especially in the UK where state violence was used, is not unheard of.

Ahhhhhh. MeToo.

A double edged sword, capable of bringing great evil to light but also capable of great damage and controversy, however it seems to me that it's been used for the latter now.

I think a lot of people started to doubt the movement after that Kavanaugh debacle. Where someone used it for some sort of gain (probably political) and accused him of sexual assault, leaving a permanent scar on him and his career even though no verdict was given and no evidence was found from an investigation

Now it feels like stepping on a minefield for men where one wrong step and you can get accused and lose your job and livelihood in the blink of an eye.

Let me share something.

I was sexually molested when I was young, by a male teacher. Yes, I would like to see him get his punishment, but the difference is that I would want him to be duly convicted after a proper trial in a court of law.

Also, if I had been molested by a female teacher, I would want the same thing, but I can guarantee you that it would be far less likely that she would be prosecuted than the man. That's part of the double standard that our society has.

There's the psychological impact to consider, and it is not merely "Being a judge" that is important to a career in legal. It is unlikely he will become any more influential than he currently is, which while substantially influential, is still damage to his career. He will likely not be the head of the court, and so on. His books are not likely to sell. He is probably going to be cited less. And so on.

It's not just a hashtag movement and pretending it is is being deliberately disingenuous. it involved feminist organizations, lobbyists, and feminist journalists and their behavior too.
Beyond that, you yourself are guilty of downplaying false accusations and pushing the same rhetoric because you decided hanging out in an irradiated pit was fine and people noting it was irradiated were lying.
