This #metoo shit is getting out of hand. I fear for my nearly 10 year old son’s future when there are these crazy feminazis in the world. Won’t be long before they start demanding male fetuses be aborted.

What a childish and poisonous view of relationships with men! You nailed it on the head - she is a horrible, sick person.

Like the "date rape" hysteria of the '80s, this too will pass. And, like the earlier panic, when it finally passes, the hyperbole will leave women worse off - because too many shepherd boys crying wolf too often means the village is less likely to respond to a genuine wolf.

Feminists, it seems, would rather have the occasional frenzied mob than a sane and sober policy steadily in place. Better to burn a few castles in momentary anger than to leave in place a system of castles for when the real barbarians attack.

Cathy told me (on Twitter) that this Meghan Murphy person is pretty much crazycakes.

Oh God, Megan Murphy. She's a Grade A nut.

Ironically, she's not really part of the goodthinkful feminist community, b/c she thinks transgender women are evil male interlopers.

So this is one battle in the war between feminists and blacks, in this case the Detroit black establishment specifically. They are both jockeying for position on the political-power scoreboard. If you aren't winning, you're losing. Henderson, as a white man not permitted to play the game, was collateral damage. Neither side will mourn him or even give him any particular thought. The fact that, as the editor of the Freep, he's been a big supporter of both black and female civil rights is irrelevant. In chess, pawns are expendable.

Regarding Weinstein, Clinton et al: These guys are, in Leftist world, alpha males. In left-wing politics, they are the equivalent of Tom Jones; leftist women metaphorically throw their hotel room keys and panties at them. What's happened to them is that, due to aging, they are no longer alpha enough; they are being replaced by younger men, to whom leftist women will grant all of the privileges that they formerly granted to Weinstein and Clinton. Nothing will change. The whole purpose of the runaway of #Metoo is to discredit future accusations against the new leftist alphas. (Along the way, they are also working to re-establish the double standard: men who aren't left-wing and powerful will remain vulnerable. It's a nifty way for the leftist alphas to eliminate potential competition.)

Left-wing women: Weinstein and his cohort? These are the men you chose. You rewarded them with your bodies, your favors, your labor and your reputational cover. It's a tribal behavior. And because you engage in tribal politics, you will continue to choose men like this, over and over. As the men age out and lose their allure, you will denounce them, but you will learn nothing from the experience; you will continue the pattern. Meanwhile, the "ordinary" men of your cohort are watching. And the more they observe you doing shit like this, the more you will succeed in making yourselves less attractive to them. Don't come crying to me when you're 37 and can't find a date. Your pussy hat and your BOYS ARE STUPID, THROW ROCKS AT THEM T-shirt can keep you company.

Good thing the sane, sensible voters of the US heartland rejected Amy's advice last fall, or else this Meghan Murphy and the cabbage patch kidiot might be Cabinet secretaries or federal judges now!

The tits thing is kinda personal.

Like, in the middle of an essay AND THIS PART IS FOR YOU, NASTY GUY I DATED IN COLLEGE WHO ALWAYS RUINED MY NEW BLOUSES AND NEVER PAID FOR LUNCH and back to the essay stuff....

3) Good Men

Turns out there are none. Feminists have been making the point for some time that Your Man is not special, and neither are you, Matt Damon. Let the record show that 2017 proved us right.

I'd only recently discovered the outrage on Twitter concerning Matt Damon. It seems that Matt Damon had the unspeakable gall to suffuse some much-needed common sense into the feminist culture of outrage, and the feminists could not be more incensed. As I pointed out in response to this insipid article from Vanity Fair, everyone's so furious at Matt Damon, but not one person could tell what he said that was so wrong.

From the article I linked:

The remarks come just a few days after the actor caught heat for asking people to consider the “spectrum of behavior” when it comes to sexual misconduct. “There’s a difference between, you know, patting someone on the butt and rape or child molestation, right?” he said in a recent interview with Peter Travers. To be fair, Damon also roundly condemned these behaviors and said they should each be eradicated—but then he just kept talking. He mentioned men like Al Franken and Louis C.K., who have been accused of groping women and masturbating in front of women, respectively, whom he thinks exist in more of a gray area. Franken has apologized for his behavior, but has also said he has done “nothing [that] has brought dishonor” to his work as a senator; Damon said he was particularly struck by C.K.’s admission that his accusers were all telling the truth. “He said, ‘I did these things. These women are all telling the truth.’ And I just remember thinking . . . ‘Well, we can work with that,’” Damon said. “What the hell else are you supposed to do?”

Well, what's wrong with that?

He's pointing out that sexual misconduct exists on a spectrum. You know, as opposed to the rationale that thinks a man who tells a dirty joke is every bit as evil as the serial rapist who kills his victims and inters their dismembered remains in shallow graves near his hunting lodge in the Catskills.

I've already forgotten where I heard it, but it was said that one reason some are suspicious of Damon's good intentions is that he worked for Weinstein - not sure how recently.

In the meantime, here's Bret Stephens' column:

"When #MeToo Goes Too Far"

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/20/opinion/metoo-damon-too-far.html

Almost 1700 comments. Plenty are sympathetic to the column.

...one reason some are suspicious of Damon's good intentions is that he worked for Weinstein

JTDC. Can we all just calm the fuck down.
How many people have 'worked' for Weinstein or any of the other idiots being outed?? Are they all suspect?

If you look for guilt and eeeevil everywhere, that's where you'll find it.

Well, we've all bought tickets for or downloaded a Weinstein movie. Does that make us all complicit?

...he worked for Weinstein...

Hasn't everyone in Hollywood, at some point, worked for Weinstein?

And even if he did, so what? Because you were once on someone's payroll, that doesn't mean you endorse every single thing they did, or even know about every despicable thing they ever did.

Well, what's wrong with that?

Insufficient witch burning.

One more thing:

Good Men
Turns out there are none.

I do have a better nature, but this makes me want to put it in a box, and bury it in the back yard. Don't complain when men learn that lesson at your knee and you don't like the results.

IRA: "I do have a better nature, but this makes me want to put it in a box, and bury it in the back yard. Don't complain when men learn that lesson at your knee and you don't like the results."

Yes! This is the goal of feminists. To get men, as individuals, to feel unjustly threatened and attacked, so they become resentful, and ultimately, hostile toward women generally. This will lead to a plentiful supply of the "misogyny" that inflates the hollow balloon of feminism, and justifies its continuing existence (and government and corporate funding).

Think of the evil Emperor from Star Wars urging Luke Skywalker to give in to the dark side, and "feel the hatred" -- all so that he can be controlled.

Legions of individually disaffected men will be bad enough for the average woman. But what will women's existence be like if men reach a tipping point and form a group identity for the first time? When Men see themselves as the adversaries, or even enemies, of Women? If women continue to allow feminists to paint "men" as the enemy of women, this will surely come to pass. Will women's traditional sword/shield of sexual power be enough to save them then? I think not. Henry Kissinger joked about "too much fraternizing with the enemy" in the war of the sexes. The thing is, we men have little problem f*cking someone we don't particularly care for, if she's hot enough. In fact, there might even be some particular pleasure gained from pounding someone you really don't like.

The Third Reich arose as the result of the humiliation of the German people after WWI. If women assume that men will accept constant humiliation and unjust demonization forever, I believe they are sadly, and even tragically, mistaken.

Women should pray to God that men don't start to think and behave in accordance with the man-hating stereotypes so necessary to feminism. They will find out what a true "Patriarchy" looks like. It won't be better for anyone.

Third-wave feminists: "Burn it. Burn it all!"

Rational people: "What a nice, warm fire. Let's watch."

I can't find the terms I would consider appropriate for Meghan Murphy, or I would use them, and I know a lot. The closest I can get is to offer that the adjective used to describe her most insightful and useful emission would be, "seepage".

Does this person have a partner? What are the odds of their being a useful citizen? Where does the smart money say their vote for President went?

Jay R, Gog, Rad,

Another thing to consider is the pushing of women into ground combat. In order to be even remotely successful[*], the men in the unit will have to overcome whatever "protect the women" instinct they've been "programmed" with.

That is a by product of the Patriarchy, right? if we get to that point, life won't be that enjoyable for anyone.

* I'm going to go out on a limb and say it won't be successful outside of Hollywood movie sets.

Regarding women in combat, I am patiently awaiting the equality of 18-year old women receiving their Selective Service notifications.

So she advocates having kids with no father--he should just send money. This works out very badly for the children. Also, many people are in love and are happy being married. This idea of marriage as oppression is so silly.

This idea of marriage as oppression is so silly.

It's not silly if you're a misandrist bigot.

Which most feminists are.

When as a result of all this men start shunning women, avoiding them, failing to hire them, seeking out men exclusively to do business with, having only male friends, etc. I do not want to hear a goddamn word about how unfair it is.

Ladies, it is up to YOU to push back against these lunatics.

Mike Pence is looking smarter all the time.

On a positive note, the men developing sexbots have gotten a sudden uptick in investors.

If women aren't going to be friends, lovers, helpmate, partners but instead sullen resentful people looking for outrage, women WILL become 'a pair of breasts to jizz on' as men specifically avoid doing anything with them besides the bare minimum to get their regularly scheduled 'jizz'.

I am reminded of that movie 'Knocked Up'. Leslie Mann played a bitchy horrible wife who liked to go out to clubs so she could be hit up on by strange men (and maybe more) and screamed at her husband constantly.

Her husband understandably took to disappearing. She followed him and he was not having an affair, but playing fantasy football. Private time away from the Screecher. He wanted someone to share good times with and the look on her face when she realized she wasn't even up for consideration in that role was priceless.

But she put herself there.
