Sex Scandal (Part One)
Townhall.com ^ | November 15. 2017 | Rebecca Hagelin

America is in the midst of a huge, sordid sex scandal.

As horrific as it is to have so much alleged sexual harassment and abuse coming to light from Hollywood to the halls of Congress and seemingly everywhere in between, worse still is the reality that we should not be surprised.

For several decades American culture has been fed a steady diet of highly sexualized Leftist movies, television shows, and advertisements.

Pornography abounds on the internet, and sleazy magazines that used to be hidden from view and read in secret are now boldly on display at the grocery store checkout counter. And I’m not referring to just “men’s” journals either. Among the most sexualized magazines today are those written for America’s teen daughters.

Graphic “sex education,” for crying out loud, is even forced on innocent little kindergarteners.

Homosexuality and transgender ideology are so pervasive and “acceptable” that such individuals touting their sexual preferences and perversions are given awards, accolades and their own TV shows.

Yet we are collectively shocked that sexual harassment is so pervasive?

Adults love to dump on teens and talk about “these kids today.” As it turns out, an entire generation of liberal adults — now older — first ushered in the cultural sewage in which America’s children continue to drown.

Most of the men accused of sexual exploitation and harassment are of the same generation that has been producing the garbage media for decades. And just like any untreated infection, the rot and rotten behavior have spread to virtually every demographic, political persuasion and faith background.

As for Hollywood's nearly complete toxicity, did anyone really think that the powerhouse entertainers, producers and actors would promote an “anything goes” lifestyle at work and then turn around and be respectful in their personal lives? They have been willing to create material that debases and perverts the dignity and beauty of sex the way God intended partly because they have sought to justify their own personal, disgusting, misogynistic behaviors.

Hollywood has long been known as a hotbed of liberalism, hedonism and abuse. It’s just that the secret code of silence has finally been broken.

Perhaps the most insidious of all the liberals’ lies about human sexuality they now are perpetuating is the move toward a “genderless” society. This time, it’s not so much that the elite necessarily want to “switch” their own genders. Rather, their sin seeks participants more perverted than they are. After all, misery loves company.

In her recently released and brilliant book, “Sex Scandal,” journalist Ashley McGuire details the treacherous genesis and spread of the radical Left’s latest sexual obsession — an obsession that is destined to normalize sexual abuse and harassment once and for all.

Subtitled “The Drive to Abolish Male and Female,” Mrs. McGuire takes the reader on a carefully documented journey into the Left’s dangerous agenda to create a “gender-neutral” world and how it is resulting in an environment ripe for rampant sexual exploitation.

The result of mankind’s evil attempt to destroy God’s very clear definitions of male and female? Chaos. And chaos always breeds abuse.

Mrs. McGuire writes: “We are increasingly trying to treat men and women as if they were exactly the same. And then we’re surprised by the growing sexual confusion. Men can’t win. If they don’t hold a door, pull out a chair, or pay for dinner, they’re jerks. If they do, they’re patronizing. Women are just as confused. They say they want real romance, but they’re content to move in with a guy, do his laundry, and cook his meals for little more in return than the chance of Valentine’s Day tickets to see ‘Fifty Shades of Grey.’”

Of course, that is the title of the wildly popular “progressive” book and movie franchise that glorifies the sexual and physical abuse of women. Think about that for a moment.

Karen England, executive director of Privacy for All, a campaign fighting for the protection of children sponsored by the Capitol Resource Institute in California, says: “Many Americans claim to oppose sexual harassment, but remain silent as some push for a genderless society. Policies that base locker or bathroom use on ‘gender identity’ versus biological sex, only contribute to an atmosphere ripe for sexual abuse. Allowing boys into girls’ locker rooms in schools is a new form of sexual harassment that puts our girls at tremendous risk.”

It’s beyond frightening that the same Leftist mentality that creates the sexualized media garbage is now busy creating laws that put America’s youngest females in danger in our schools and other public facilities.

Mrs. McGuire says it well, “Denying the reality of sexual difference ensures that women will continue to be at a disadvantage. It makes it impossible to even talk about — let alone resolve — the very real injustices, vulnerabilities, and discrimination that women suffer on account of our sex.”

Tragically, unless decent men and women revolt en masse against the evil madness, the sex scandal in America has only just begun.

Excellent article. Leftists and progs of all stripes have pushed the destruction of the family, free sex, no morality, no sexual boundaries in music, print or movies, sexualization of children, and unlimited abortion for 60 years, yet they are surprised and horrified at the very culture they wrought?

There is no hypocrite like a leftist prog commie Democrat hypocrite.

An appalling display of ignorance of the history of civilization and of nations abounds among those whose minds and emotions have been captured by the cultist Liberal/Progressive ideology.

Thank the Progressives who have dominated America's so-called "education system" for effectively erasing the Framers' ideas of liberty underlying the Constitution and expressed in the Declaration of Independence for such ignorance of those ideas!

Such was not always true in America.

The following is an excerpt from the "Centennial Thanksgiving Sermon" (1886) (celebrating America's 100th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence) by a Black Ohio Legislator and A.M.E. Bishop Benjamin W. Arnett on "The Greatness of America" - Note that this Sermon is delivered only a few years after the end of the Civil War by this outstanding scholar/legislator/Bishop.

"Let us see what it is that makes us so great; wherein lies our strength. What has made us one of the greatest powers of the earth, politically and intellectually? Have we come to the conclusion that it is Righteousness that exalteth a nation? We have met to-day at the request of the President of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant, and also the Governor of our beloved State, Rutherford B. Hayes. For what? Why call us from our homes? Why come to the house of God? Why not go to the hall of mirth and to the places of amusement to-day? No that is not what they want us to do. We are commanded to go to our 'several places of worship, and there offer up thanks to Kind Providence which has brought our nation through the scenes of another year, and blessed the land with peace, plenty and prosperity.' Then as Americans we have reason to rejoice and congratulate ourselves on the greatness of our beloved country; at this the close of the first hundred years of experimental government of the people, by the people, and for the people. To be a citizen of this vast country is something, and to share in its privileges and duties is more than something." - Dr. Benjamin W. Arnett, 1876 "Centennial Thanksgiving Sermon" - Library of Congress - African-American Section
If current generations of youth in America go to the LOC web site and read this lengthy Address by a remarkable Black scholar of history, Ohio State Legislator, and A.M.E. Bishop, who had lived through the years surrounding the Civil War, then their perspective might be enhanced, enlarged and encouraged by their pride in such an intellectual giant from America's history.

And yet Bubba Clinton walks freely. No one dare mention his abuse of women, including charges of violent rape and assault. Hillary, the abuser co-enabler, threatened and terrorized the women who claimed sexual assault. Even their pets were killed.
The Clinton Mafia rakes in MILLIONs of dollars thru their money laundering scheme aka Clinton Foundation.
Now in a “feeding frenzy” of sharks smelling blood, the so called Repubs and Conservatives are jumping in for a bite or two.
I am disgusted with all of them. ALL OF THEM !! From the very top all the way down to the bottom feeders in the muck.

He said, she said. It never ends, no matter how many groups or organisations form to stop sexual misbehaviour and abuse.

I think you are right. They like what they are doing. A quote from the Bible: “They love to have it so”

No, Vice President Mike Pence was mercilessly mocked and excoriated by the media precisely because he said words to the effect that he never would be alone with a woman other than his wife.

Rev. Billy Graham practiced the same philosophy, and like VP Pence, has never been smeared by a sex scandal.

By removing even the appearance of impropriety, both of these gentlemen have avoided rumors and lies.

The author’s point seems to be that we must view men and women as fundamentally different in a particular way: that men are prone to be sexual predators while women are prone to be sexual victims. It appears she believes that, given the opportunity, men will always seek to coerce or persuade women into into sex. Therefore, society must be structured around limiting men’s opportunities to do this.

This seems to be the outcome she wants “decent men and women” to pursue. That is, she wants both men and women to have as their foundational premise that men are NOT decent, that they are not capable of being decent.

The alternative would be to believe that, a priori, both men and women are fundamentally human, and that human beings are capable of virtue.

I didn’t read it that way at all — I heard her condemning the liberal sex agenda that there are no clear sex differences; she even sympathizes with men in their no-win current situation (that if they are chivalrous to a woman they are patronizing and if they are not, they are pigs).

As for the problem of boys in locker rooms, it is a problem both of introducing confusion in both sexes about whether they are, in fact, different but forced to deny it and then deal with the inevitable breaches of privacy as if they are no big deal; and it is “asking for” sexual relations of one type or another to take place among young schoolchildren who share a locker room.

Pretending there is no difference is also asking for trouble from perverted men who will take advantage of adult women’s rooms; but that is due to the all-genders-are-the-same agenda, not an agenda that counts all men as beasts.

As for the predators vs victims conundrum, the difference between the sexes is immutable: one sex is larger and stronger (as a general rule) and is the sex equipped to penetrate. The other sex is smaller and weaker (in general) and is the sex that is penetrated. This is a structural difference that cannot be overcome. Our means of civilizing men and women had previously taken into account the risks of this inherent difference and levied behavioral expectations of both sexes to avoid conflict about the terms of sexual encounters where reasonably possible. Pretending that the difference simply doesn’t amount to much most definitely puts a percentage of women at greater risk.
