I was thinking about this juxtaposition earlier today.

Just one false accuser dragged on the carpet and sued for everything they own will set in motion the repercussion of such actions

“What could be more ironic than the fact that we are experiencing an unprecedented outbreak of long-belated sexual harassment charges in a generation defined by its sexual licentiousness? “

The incongruity of the situation seems to escape the majority of people. It’s like yelling “Rape” in Sodom.

Where is the new rule book? Who decides?

It is meaningful that the first accusations against Harvey Weinstein came three days after the death of Hugh Hefner.

Pointing the finger on the basis of something dredged up from the past to harm another person who no longer exercises that mode of behavior is simply just another form of sexual harassment, but no laden with the aura of vindictive thrill-seeking.

To not have dealt with the behavior at the time is just the strategy of cowardice, striking from behind out of a protected nichewith a force far more poisonous than the original affront.

And to accept and approve such bitterness is yet more fertilizer for deviancy.

IMHO.

No one is "safe" in such a community of forced "righteousness."

We jail people yelling fire in crowded places where there is none.

Yet these women walk around free and unscathed. Because woman card.

A culture which throws out God, throws out Good and Evil as Dostoevsky and all Christians know.......and then the godless wonder why there is no morality among the ignorant masses. Wisdom is being able to discern Good and Evil. (Cicero) Now, emotions determine good and evil-—if it “feels” good, it is good-—regardless if it objectifies people or oneself and strips them of dignity and worth.

We have been programming children for decades to “think” Evil is Good, sodomy is a virtue and baby-killing is a “Natural” right from God, no less-—and we wonder why they are so ignorant of Truth (God) and Good and Evil.

We banned it-—and Western Civilization for regression back into the hedonism and pederasty of the ancient pagan/serf/slave days.

Would that this tsunami of yowling accusations, based on nothing in too many cases, results in women putting their clothes back on, for both work and play.

Women of Hollywood strain themselves to find designs that cover less and less and still be called a “dress”, or a “gown”. Several are pasties and a G String with a thin veil suspended from the pasties to the floor and hemmed. That’s a gown.

Where is the new rule book? Who decides?

It's secular. You make it up based on what feels good. Or is beneficial. Good and evil, you're too judgemental. You have to learn to go with the flow.

Do you think it's possible any of the accusers may have advanced their careers by virtue of their feminine wiles? It's possible. And having advanced a career, years later what was good, is now evil. And worthy of garnering media attention.

I'm in no way justifying what, as you suggest, is evil behavior. I am a little concerned there might be evil on more than one side.

Presuming no criminality, and a clear change in behavior, I wouldn't disagree.

I absolutely agree with that.

My stumbling block is why does the left, who reject all ideas of sexual mores save for one or two, now get to decide what is or isn't proper behavior.

These are the same people who think it's ok for an HIV positive man to have sex and not inform a partner that he is giving them AIDS.

And yet, a stolen kiss at an office Christmas party 40 years ago is being used to try and destroy lives.

The era of sexual McCarthyism has dawned and shows no sign of abating.

I remember a book, Sexual McCarthyism written by one Alan Dershowitz, defending what Clinton did.

And, no, Mr. Dershowitz, I have not forgotten.

If a man walks into an office with his shirt unbuttoned and that draws the attention of women, the man will be reprimanded.

The answer to that, in practice, is in the Believe Women slogan.
