It sure does look like it, and it’s a shame
This argument is millennia old. Human civilization has largely been a patriarchal system. Men have nearly always wielded power and influence over women. The cynic can say that men have ruled the roost, nothing wrong with that, men are simply the stronger sex. The stronger of the strong typically rise to the top.
It's curiously satisfying to watch the Libs go nuts, as usual. They always put politics above ethics. They have protected sexual predators for many decades, simply because the predator had agreeable ;political stances. They've ignored the wolves in their fold and made excuses. Now, with alleged wolves within their opponent's camps, they've discovered virtue, morality, integrity, ethics? I laugh at their angst. I am giddy watching them twist and wriggle and make rationalization of their acceptance of those friendly wolves within their own flocks of sheep.
