[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great piece by Karol Markowicz.  It's a short piece - you should read the whole thing, but here is the pertinent part:

[quote]Beyond the religious-liberty implications, men’s reticence about being alone with women shouldn’t surprise anyone. The #MeToo movement of the last few years has brought a chorus of voices urging us to “Believe all women” making assault or harassment allegations.

When “Believe all women” is the party line, it’s only prudent for men to take themselves out of situations where they risk being accused of anything. #MeToo began with a serious mission of exposing powerful men who had sexually harassed, and in some cases assaulted, women and gotten away with it.

But thanks to “Believe all women,” it spiraled to a place where accusations went unchecked and were instantly believed. Some websites maintain running lists of accused men, even if accusations are anonymous and/or largely uncorroborated.

In some cases, the accusation didn’t even make any sense. The comedian Aziz Ansari is clawing his way out of a reputational black hole after a woman accused him of being a bad date. He didn’t harass or assault anyone; he was simply bad at hooking up, and his date wrote a scathing piece about it.

Men have seen that they are guilty until proved innocent, and sometimes not even then. They have now — wisely — retreated from women.

Are men afraid to be alone with women? Of course they are. Robert Foster is just one of the few to admit it.[/quote]

I'm sorry, but are women supposed to be f*cking chaperoned on dates now too so that men don't have to suffer the risk of someone calling them out on their sh*t? Or what is the point of bringing in Aziz Ansari?

Just f*cking say it: YOU HATE WOMEN and you think that women are bad, polluted, and don't belong in public because we are untrustworthy witches.[/quote]
