The ‘Me Too’ movement, sexual politics and unnatural justice : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 15/12/2017

That she had even assumed such a position of scepticism immediately catapulted her into the circles of fire.

THE OTHER ME...
(A life with no rhyme, and not much reason).

Knock knock, two Mormons at the door,
Mormons not, but detectives are.

Come to my office says one with a frown,
You tried in vain, a woman to disavow,
Not so her tale, adds he.

Who me? Says I, my trembling finger pointing at my chest.

Six months past my son he adds.

What's her name, I can't recall?
Me staring vacantly through window of police car,
Heart in my lap.

What did I, that wasn't normal?

Another scene from awful act one, curtain rising,
detective, holding forth paper in either hand.

In one my revealing statement of the night,
In tuther, hers, an identical account.

This is simply an augmented extension of the technique the womens libbers used to get control of the education system.

In that they were a lot more cautious, taking it slowly. First the subtle hints that it was inappropriate for men to have control of little girls in schools. Then the very limited actual example of inappropriate behaviour.

First men were made to feel uncomfortable, then pushed out of the class room altogether. Once in control our "ladies" quickly dumbed down the syllabus, making it easier for more of the girls to appear qualified.

There is no doubt that the great reduction in the quality of our education has followed the feminist take over of the system.

Now it appears the new target is the entertainment industry.

Meanwhile, have any others noticed the catastrophe that is government in Australia today, has grown at the same rate as the number of ladies in the parliaments. You don't have to look too closely at the incompetence of the current girls club in Queensland to see the facts of this.

Never a truer word spoken, Hasbeen. Add all the father-free children in what passes for families these days.

I like this observation from James Howard Kunstler

"We are living in the land of the wounded father. The nature of his wound is not quite specified, but if one were to guess, one might venture that something happened to his testicles. Cut off? Shot off? Industrial accident? We’re not informed. But the remedy for that misfortune is to turn into a woman, or at least act like one.

An interesting angle on all this from, say, a zeitgeist point of view, is that the archetypal father is not missed. Society does not need him. Rather we need him to go through the mystical passage to become a tragic-comic mother figure, a harmless old vessel full of rueful wisdom and comic relief. Of course that is the message that has been coming through loud and clear in the cultural scripts of recent days, with all the carping about cis-gender white folks (i.e. men) being responsible for all the woes of humanity.

My own meta-take on this whole business is that the archetypal father is secretly rather sorely missed in the USA. The mental inversions of the Progressive intelligentsia tell me that, deep down, the Left is in a state of deranged anguish over it. Trump has inflamed them especially because he fills the role of national father so badly for them with his vulgar incoherence. Nothing he does reassures anybody. They are desperate to shove him off-stage. He only reminds them how badly they miss a real and proper daddy. And their rage about it prompts them to destroy anybody else who reminds them of a bad daddy, by any means necessary — sexual misbehavior being a very convenient means in a culture that celebrates its lack of boundaries."

We live in a culture where being 'white, heterosexual and male' means those of us defined this way are to blame for all the ills of society. Go figure, I always thought being white, hetrosexual (at least most of us) and male had resulted in the progress of society, enlightenment and the clarity of opportunity for all.

Apparently not?

Don't know why "feminist" witch drowning became illegal?

Should there be law regression to meet the tastes of the 80% old-bold male commentariat of OLO?

Yes, it must be very difficult to prove sexual assault, unless extreme force has been used. Drastic changes in behaviour, observable immediately afterwards ? A medical examination immediately afterwards ? Statements to friends immediately after ? These might go some way to demonstrating that assault has occurred. A lie detector test ? A series of similar claims ? Description of extremely personal details ? Bragging by the bloke, such as 'It's easy, you just grab them by the pussy, they don't mind ..." Now, who said that ?

After all, an assaulter is not going (!?) to video what he is doing. He may not use, or have to use, extreme force - an extreme power imbalance might 'persuade' the woman to comply with his wishes, for her career if not her physical safety. And we ARE taking about men with a great deal of power and influence. Perhaps there have been women in similar favourable positions ?

Yes, it is going to be very difficult to ping these scum-bags for what they might have done. And anyway, to cite NoMoore and Trump, that all happened years ago. So it sort of didn't happen then, did it ?
