A male backlash against #MeToo is brewing

--I learned about 50 years ago (as a young shift boss in an underground mine) ,two rules , never to be violated in what I would call :professional" relationships-- A) --never touch the other person-- B)--never go into any such situation alone--always have a witness----

[mrsmel]

LOL. That is fantastic, I wish some men would do that, love it!

[mrsmel]

I think it’s all of a piece anyway, the feminised culture has led to some men who no longer understand manly honor and men holding each other to account to male standards of honor, which just aren’t the same as female standards. Men’s standards of honor are scrupulous, I’ve seen it amongst my husband and his circle for decades.

[AndyJackson]

here can be no he said she said if there is no she

Oh, you are very much mistaken. You cannot prove a negative and liars - of both sexes - lie.

[MortMan]

You might want to exempt husband and wife pairs.

If men start to back away from women, at least in professional settings, it’s difficult to see how that will aid the feminist cause.

it will be: stop the male oppression of females

[grumpygresh]

Don’t think that there couldn’t be two feminists in the room with the guy? This is not a remote possibility, and it only takes one time to take someone down. The question is can a male boss have absolute trust in their female chaperone?

Who’s to say that they wouldn’t collude against their boss? Two statements against one? So now we need two males and two females in the room for a “private” meeting such as a performance review or salary discussion.

Seriously, it could come down to this. A special private meeting room with video, and glass separated window; similar to meetings of prison inmates and relatives. The feminist can be “protected” from harassment, and the male boss can be protected against defamation.

lobbyist Jennifer Green told the paper. “I said, ‘Senator, why do you need a chaperone?

She has Schiff for brains...

[EEGator]

Make it males instead of men. Boys are treated like shit in the classroom.

[EEGator]

No, he’s a man with a plan.

[AndyJackson]

This whole thing is about subverting conservative morality for political power [Alinsky's rules - make the other side live up to his rules]. And there is nothing new here. Those with a will to power have always used sex as a political weapon.

The problem is that Republicans didn't fight back and so the other side could push their advantage way overboard while making common cause with sexual predators, and a lot of that is now coming out in the press.

There is going overboard, but we should cheer that the powerful pervs who have been supporting the Dems are having their comeuppance.

[AndyJackson]

This is the real point [see my post #51]. The whole thing is a cynical drive for political power and Republicans caved long long long ago.

[Neoliberalnot]

The dykes and other man-haters have instigated the entire movement, many of which are making fake claims.

[Neoliberalnot]

Actually, I’m a man and I prefer female physicians for physical exams. There are a number of male queer doctors and no man I know wants some faggot doing an exam.

[monocle]

I waiting for the first male to sue a female for sexual harassment because she dresses so provocatively.

[Brilliant]

What do they care if men dislike it?

[Cowboy Bob]

So is the opposite true? Any men who let’s himself be alone with a woman in a bedroom is a whore?

No. I think the term is "Male Prostitute."

[xp38]

Reminds me of the line Komarovsky (Rod Steiger) says to Lara after doing the horizontal mambo with her in Dr. Zhivago...

And don’t delude yourself that this was rape! That would flatter us both!

[DuncanWaring]

That’s because they want most of us dead, the rest in chains.

Those who will say “Over my dead body” will put a significant crimp in their plans.

[robroys woman]

It’s always a good idea for a woman to have someone else in the room.

Though I agree, I think the critical path being espoused is that It’s always a good idea for a MAN to have someone else in the room. ;-)
