The New York Times now has a “gender editor” and “gender team,” created in the wake of the #MeToo movement to infuse feminist sensibility even further throughout the paper. The gender editor, Jessica Bennett, penned an op-ed last month that serves as a template for the hypocritical state of modern feminism. Bennett had unforced sex with a 30-year-old acquaintance when she was 19 because “saying ‘yes’ [was] easier than saying ‘no,’” as the op-ed’s title puts it. She allowed the encounter to proceed out of “some combination of fear (that I wasn’t as mature as he thought), shame (that I had let it get this far), and guilt (would I hurt his feelings?).” Naturally, Bennett attributes her passivity and embarrassment at that moment to “dangerously outdated gender norms.” It is the patriarchy, she claims, that makes “even seemingly straightforward ideas about sex—such as, you know, whether we want to engage in it or not—feel utterly complex.”

Yup. The corollary is certainly evident.
Gloria Allred and her daughter should start a #PayMeToo hashtag.
Agree. Women are pretending they can be just like men and have no strings attached sex. However, most women are not wired that way.

Tell the so-called feminist to run a DAILY column exposing the female teachers who were caught sexually taking advantage of the students under them.
#MeToo isn’t just something that happens to women and girls.
Darwinian law dictates sexuality in all species. Feminism is an aberrant anti fertility cult. Restraints on males be it through the practice of exclusive marriage, monogomy chastity or other restraints (religious or social) have been promoted throughout human history. Given the huge emotional consequences of sexual interactions for some, the needs of the created children and the benefits of a society composed of intact family units, efforts have always been made to control male sexual behavior. These modern “feminists” are doing nothing new.
Translating symbols into English:
Policing Sexual Desire: The (Pound)MeToo movement’s impossible premise
And women can sexually harass/assault women (especially when liquor and drugs come into play).

The problem with most of these “movements” is they are mostly the ones who allowed, if not created, the problem to start with?
Let’s restore the patriarchal gender norms under which nobody has sex with a person they’re not married to.
“........the female teachers who were caught sexually taking advantage of the students under them.”.......
Seems it’s the norm now days and happens all over the country. I am somewhat surprised at the age differences as well, many “older aged” women teachers.
LOL, the irony. Hey people, before it was known as the "Hashtag", it was often called the pound sign, especially when dialing numbers. As a part time "Athiest", irony like this makes me believe in a higher power.
Actually from my study of history that was never the case. At the beginning of the twentieth century there was a bordello on every street corner in New York and in many other cities across the US.
It really comes down to basic biology. The sex drive is powered by testosterone and men have 8-10 times more testosterone than women. So on average men want to have sex much more often than women and if their wife won’t satisfy that need then many men will fulfill it in some way.
Not saying it’s right, because morally it’s not, but it is what it is.
I said “patriarchal gender norm,” not “universal practice.”
People decided that, since the norm wasn’t universally observed, we could just do without norms entirely. It hasn’t worked out very well, as anyone with two functioning synapses could have predicted.
It is clear from this that women do not have the capacity to make decisions for themselves. It seems the Muslims are right, darn it. /sarc
