Yes, even conservative gals are jumping into the #metoo pool and hiding behind ‘this issue is too important etc etc.’

Monica Lewinsky tweeted #metoo -- look at the bj klintoon sycophants attack her (also a lot of 'atta girls from people who can see the truth).

There is a fine line between apprehension and “fear.” The human survival instinct manifests itself in many ways. Being apprehensive shows common sense and isn’t limited by gender. Taking any of the scenarios the author referenced a man is as likely to be apprehensive as a woman. Being aware of your surroundings and situations, only shows common sense which while being more prevalent in one gender over another, it’s not exclusive.

I know plenty of gals who make advances to guys ....

One little gal walked into my son’s fraternity room a few weeks ago. A stranger from another school ~ he didn’t know her from .....Eve.....and said she “ wanted “ him ~shocked some gal had absolutely no respect for herself. He told her an Uber was on its way and sent her out the door !

Sure. The media needs a new rallying-point every 3 weeks. Something to obsess over. Trump/Charlottesville, Las Vegas, savages kneeling, harvey weirdstein, Me too. This will be over in 2 weeks to be replaced by something else to clutter the airwaves with crap with.

see 95 lbs. women beating up 250 lbs. men all the time.


On television.

Leftists demand logical contradictions all the time.

Women are the absolute equals of men physically. No differences... but

Women are constantly in fear of men, because men are physically stronger...

Both cannot be true.

If as the author says they are that apprehensive, they seemingly do not fit well in a military environment IMO. When apprehension overruns your ability to function, there is a lapse in reaction time to a real threat due to an inability to distinguish among all the “threats” you are facing at that time.

One of the primary ways one can avoid threats is to avoid situations wherein the majority of problems arise. For instance, a white person may be advised to avoid any travel at night along any road named after ML King or Malcolm X. Black people may wish to avoid areas called Confederate anything. Risk avoidance works most times. Crooks would be well advised to not burglar a home with a sign that says “protected by 357”.

I doubt they will comprehend the fact that throwaway hashtags left on the high-tech equivalent of a bathroom wall is actually the quickest way to trivialize their personal horror stories (if there is any horror) and the issue at large.

1) Men and women are exactly alike in all ways.
2) Women live in fear and this is something that men simply do not understand.
3) Women cannot change and it is unreasonable to ask them to change.
4) Men should change.
5) Because it is vital that men and women be exactly alike in all ways.

It’s a good thing we have torn down our social structure used to regulate many of these matters. Why can’t women protect themselves? I see 95 lbs. women beating up 250 lbs. men all the time. Grrrl power!

And they do it while wearing 5” heels! Always makes my husband laugh.

Some men live in fear too. We just finished one home project. I live in fear of the next one my wife will come up with—which is always just around the corner. :) Honey, I was thinking...

This was used to good effect in one of the Batman movies.

A bad guy is behind Catwoman, with a gun to her head. She’s trapped. He sneers, “Nice outfit. Do those heels make it hard to walk?”

She thinks a little and says, “I don’t know ...” then stomps on his instep, and as he collapses she says, “Do they?”

Everything today is under attack under the guise of needing to be destroyed or redone. Well now we have arrived at redoing the God endowed, natural attraction dynamics between man and woman. I have news for the revisionists - it is what it is and always will be. We know that with God's intense sexual procreative gift came commands that men and women love and respect each other. These basic tenants are woven into the fabric of civilized society. However, men and women were also endowed with free will, so the miscreants and deviates in any society who are unwilling or unable to conform will always to ‘out there.’ It has always been this way, it will not change, so adjust, figure out how to deal with it and get on with your life.

Hey lady, and Hillary and other woman parroting this fear crap, for many decades I used to have daily “fear” (various people, situations, the future etc) but then I found Jesus CHRIST and God’s word in the bible -

FEAR NOT, cast your cares upon God, Trust in the LORD with ALL your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge HIM HIM HIM and HE will make straight your path (all sorts of paths/choices).

Jesus is all you really need. Anything else/other “fear” is your own self made/satan influenced thoughts.

I have been listening to the radio and this is at the edge of mass hysteria.

This reminds me of the “recovered memories” witchhunt of years ago when fathers and father-figures were hounded, prosecuted, persecuted, sometimes to the point of literal suicide, by “recovered memories” of sexual abuse.

For those that remember, this ended up being 100% false — the memories were IMPLANTED not RECOVERED, and the men whose lives were destroyed got a crooked grin and a shrugged “whoops” in response.

Well guys, be very, very frightened. If you have ever interacted with a female in your professional career, there is now a greater than 50% chance you will be fingered as having “sexually harassed” females in your sphere.

Even if it never happened, the desire of so many misandrist feminazis to just destroy men AND be able to play along (”#metoo! I mean it! In 2003 Mr. FD2003 touched my shoulder and asked how I was feeling! I was scared of men FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!!”) is about to be, as they say, “a thing.”

Be afraid men. Be very afraid.

I know I am.

The media needs a new rallying-point every 3 weeks. Something to obsess over.

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." H. L. Mencken

For every Me too, from this day forward, I would like to see a letter of complaint to Human Resources detailed the event, when and where it happened and who witnessed it.

If not that, I would like to see a police report.

If this has happened as many times as I’ve seen the MeToo bullshit, the jails would be full and I would be the only man working in Senior Management.

I dont deny that any of these have happened. There are a lot of fools and A-hole men. But the question you ask that gets you in trouble is “What did you do about it?”

This is not 1910 any more. Any man out there can tell you the consequences of a complaint—real or perceived.

The system is here to help you, women. Please take full advantage of it.
