After the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation battle, should American men be afraid?
NBC News ^ | Oct.08.2018 | Lynn Stuart Parramore

Posted on 10/09/2018 7:04:00 AM PDT by artichokegrower

In the heat of Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation battle, President Donald Trump stoked fears of an all-out gender war: "It is a very scary time for young men in America,” he warned at a recent press conference, “where you can be guilty of something you may not be guilty of.”

translation: Oh, sh*t, American men ARE afraid! We’d better do something about this or they might vote.

Can’t do either very easily.

I go with the “Grumpy engineer” method. I don’t care where you pee or where your people are from, but by God you will do the job or I will use your femur as a hair pin.

Been doing that for decades. The one HR complaint I had was when I told a new young lady engineer “Bring extra socks and underwear”. The HR manager (a women) told her “If Red says you need them, you need it! I have seen him walk out covered with foulness so ripe the buzzards ran away!”

Said engineer later apologized, and now trains all of her pet engineers the same way. Makes me proud that I turned a few budding SJW into Grumpy Engineers.

However I have a policy of never being with a women behind closed doors alone. Never have private conversation with one at work that is not in full view of at least two other people.

I’ve heard some people say that, that men should not hire women to work for them, because of the hazards in today’s environment.

And what would that do to women’s advancement, women’s careers, etc?

This Kavanaugh situation should frighten everyone. A woman can come out decades later, and tell stories of something that never happened. How can anyone defend against that?

And I would refer to comments by senatorial idiots such as Coons and Blumenthal, both of whom said it was up to Kavanaugh to produce evidence that the allegations by Christine Ford were not true.

How the hell do you produce evidence of what happened with kids rolling around on a bed 36 years ago?

And why were the liberals dismissive of other people at the alleged event, who said they didn’t know anything about it? Why was their testimony apparently completely dismissed by the liberals?

Minor adjustment to your excellent analysis of the rats's war against American Men during their attempted lynching of Kavanaugh. Checkout my tagline.

Dems @ the Kavanaugh lynching, told the world that non gay men of any color, have Zero future w/them!

“Be “afraid”? Hell no.”

Be wary. I keep doors open, a conference table between me and all females.

I have the advantage of being a married Orthodox Jew, so I already avoid even shaking hands with women to honor my wife, let alone having a hug or something like that.

In reality, men have little reason to worry about false accusations of rape. Such cases are uncommon — about two percent, according to the FBI.

Christiane Ford didn't even accuse the mystery man of 'rape' - she accused a unknown teenager of tugging on her bathing suit (but NOT taking it down) - and of 'thinking about rape' even when nothing happened.

For this Christiane Ford felt she had the right to totally ruin a man's life, his family, his children and his career.

Avoid liberal women...

Unfair advantage? You mean like expecting due process and the presumption of innocence regardless of race or sex?

Yes. Ford said she was ‘afraid of rape’ and thereafter Kavanaugh was referred to as a rapist. The hyperbole, especially of ‘allegations’, is off the charts with the Dems.

‘Course, I’m not running for political office or anything like that.

Let’s not forget exploration, a la Columbus or Ernest Shackleton or Neil Armstrong?

Maybe Armstrong and Shackleton. The rest like Columbus and Stanley just found lands that indigenous people had discovered as virgin forest thousands of years prior and then were able to transform into still virgin forests over the thousands of years they were there.

I agree. Frankly, this solidified the concept of innocence, from a legal perspective. This was just the left using the courtroom that USED TO serve them best - the court of public opinion.

But ever since Dan Rather got the ax they’ve had less and less power even in that courtroom.

How was this different than Clarence Thomas’ or Robert Bork’s nomination process?
