Real Message of #Metoo: The Sexual Revolution Has Not Been Kind to Women
National Review ^ | 01/18/2018 | MONA CHAREN

The feminist website Babe published an account of a date gone bad. The pushback has been swift and sharp. I share some of the concerns of the critics, but I also think young women are sending a message that is being missed. The account by the anonymous “Grace” about a bad date with comedian Aziz Ansari was, if not “3,000 words of revenge porn” in Caitlin Flanagan’s phrase, certainly a low journalistic blow. To permit an anonymous accuser to assassinate the character of a famous man is a sucker punch. He may have behaved badly, but even assuming that her entire account is true, nothing she describes seems remotely awful enough to justify the public humiliation to which she has subjected him

Feminism died under Bill Clinton.

Rape, sexual assault, going after the victims, etc.

We all saw the lie.

No putting it back into the bottle.

Just so happy that I am no longer part of the group playing the field looking for a mate. That was over decades ago when things were more traditional than the nutty conditions now. I can’t even imagine.

Good column for once from a Never-Trumper. I don’t know why men think they are entitled to sex after buying women a drink but it often works out that way. So glad I’m outta that scene and married to the ultimate nice guy.

Moral of the story:

Act like a whore get, treated like a whore, feel used like a whore! At least the whore is smart enough to get paid.

Its not as bad as you would think

Most women are not even feminists. This is the 5% leftist loons making fools of themselves (again)

You need one of the three to get a women (and has been this way for centuries)

Good looks

Fat Wallet

Good Personality

It is how the game has always been played

I like the old days when a woman was treated like a woman! With respect from gentlemen!

They, women, decided they wanted to be treated equal to men and when they were, they didn't much care for it. (Other than in the pocket book)

I have always felt that the Feminist movement was secretly invented by a group of womanizers. Pro Abortion, Anti Marriage, Free casual sex, it reads like a Clinton/Kennedy wish list.

At the first time that Ansari pressured her for sex she should have slapped him and walked away, never to return. This is how women acted when they aspired to be ladies. How quaint and how smart.

And men would fight to protect the honor of a good woman.
