Joe Biden Suggests Me Too Should Mean Assuming Accused Men Are Guilty
The Federalist ^ | September 21, 2018 | Emily Jashinsky

Posted on 09/21/2018 10:45:28 AM PDT by detective

I don’t know exactly what Norm Macdonald meant when he suggested Me Too has “slowed down.” But there’s some truth to his basic observation, and Joe Biden surfaced this week to remind us all why much of the public is less inclined to share the media’s boundless enthusiasm for the movement.

Let’s first note that the great champions of women gathered at the Emmys on Monday dared not utter a direct word about Les Moonves (as flagged by Howard Stern). Had the allegations against him made their way into the New Yorker earlier in Me Too’s forceful first year, that may have been different. Whether the silence was rooted in cowardice or prudence, I won’t speculate. But it was deafening.

Here’s Biden this week, reflecting on the allegations against Justice Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh: “For a woman to come forward in the glaring lights of focus, nationally, you’ve got to start off with the presumption that at least the essence of what she’s talking about is real, whether or not she forgets facts, whether or not it’s been made worse or better over time.”

I think you and I are the only ones who use that word. One of the main reasons Hillary lost was that while she was ranting against misogyny, she was exposing her own misandry. Most guys don’t know what it means, but they know it when they see it.

Joe Biden gropes children.

You forgot the pics/videos of him fondling/touching little girls, in public. Even Jeff Sessions slapped Biden’s hand away from one of his grandkids. Maybe there should be a #metookids for Biden.

Joe Biden is another “post turtle”, elevated to a position far beyond his own capability of attaining, has no idea what he is supposed to do now that he is in that position, he doesn’t belong there, and you really want to help get him down.

Where is your outrage over that Waitress Sandwich with your friends, including the bastion of male decency, Joey?

“me too” was the permission to various hysterics to invent and “remember” assault by men. It provided a background for accusations against Trump and Kavanaugh.

It’s war, guys, and the Republicans don’t know it. They are acting as if the other side were honest and fair.

You oversimplify, Joe, you simpleton.

In politics it's already assumed Republican/Conservative men are always guilty.

But you forgot the clause that says Dem men are never guilty.

What were you saying, Joe Biden?

I'll give him a pass on the one in the middle where he was fondling Hill-liar-y. She seemed to enjoy being touched by a man for the first time in who knows how long, and he was probably drunk as a skunk.

Biden is a psychopath and pervert. If he touched my daughter like he loves to fondle women, I would knock the POS out.

Joe Biden has grabbed every female he has been physically close to.

On camera.

On video.

Yet, he still gets treated like a saint, and like a champion for women, because he supports abortion, and promotes All Men Are Bad ideology.

I would like to hear from women who are disgusted by this.

Maybe liar Ford will testify that she asked Kavanaugh to bust up a chiffarobe.

Then, Joe Biden should be imprisoned for groping little girls. Google Joe Biden groper and see what comes up.

I started using that word about two years ago. Interestingly, most internet based spell checkers always flagged it as misspelled because the word was not even in their dictionary. They are better now but try it here.

misandry
Misandrist

Cut and paste them in a response window. Only the top one is recognized as spelled correctly.

I post on a lot of youtube videos on this Kavanaugh thing. My favorite is to troll leftists on the CNN and MSNBC videos. I use those words constantly. And it is quite on purpose.

Yes. I’ve been doing the same thing. I have a pretty good vocabulary because I’m a lawyer. Never heard the word though until I got curious if there was a male counterpart to “misogyny” during the Clinton campaign. Virtually every time she opened her mouth, she was trashing men. Yet she apparently had no clue that men were listening and could tell what she was doing.
