New Rules for Men
And so we have arrived, in the Brett Kavanaugh affair, the inevitable and ultimate apotheosis of #MeToo – the vilification of men qua men.
Now, one accusation alone – no matter how unsubstantiated and uncorroborated – is enough to ruin a man's reputation, nullify his accomplishments and erase his opportunities...for life.
This is apparently the standard set, and accepted, by roughly half of the country as represented by the Democrat party.
We have thus entered something new and dangerous. And in light of this new reality, new rules for men vis a vis the opposite sex are required. Here are some baseline suggestions:
- Don't hire women. Where accusations against men are concerned, proof is no longer required, nor presumption of innocence granted. Under these circumstances, why on earth would a man hire any woman or interact with any woman in a professional setting?
- If a man must interact with a woman in a professional setting, he should do so as little as possible and always with a third and fourth party present (one of whom should be a man). Never under any circumstances should a man be alone with a female co-worker. No written communication with a woman co-worker should take place without a boss or supervisor and at least one male co-worker copied on the correspondence. Ditto with text and telephone communications.
- Do not mentor women or girls, large numbers of whom are clearly unstable, fragile creatures and God knows what they may mis-remember or mis-construe. Under these circumstances, it is not even remotely worth the risk to help a woman advance her career. Brett Kavanaugh has spent his life helping women professionally. What good will did it buy him?
- Dating and romance are now minefields to be traversed with extreme caution, if at all (see above re: mentoring). Forget making a move, going in for the kiss –unless you get express written consent before every move, you run the risk of being labeled a sexual predator for life.
Even if you do get consent at every stage of the encounter, that
still may not be enough. As Cathy Young wrote for the
Washington Post, the definition of "consent" is itself disputed and subject to change given the whims of the mob:
"Consent advocates
already fret that even an explicit 'yes' may not be given freely enough. A series of
educational campus posters includes the warning that 'if they don't feel free to say 'No,' it's not consent'; a Canadian
college campaign cautions that consent is invalid if it's 'muted' or 'uncertain' rather than 'loud and clear.'
This advocacy creates a world where virtually any regretted sexual encounter can be reconstructed as assault..."
In other words, we live in a world where a woman can consent to intimacy, then
retroactively withdraw that consent (the exact nightmare that comedian
Aziz Ansari recently found himself in).
This is a world in which men and women are not free to find each other, a world in which genuine romance is not possible.
Romance, after all, requires maturity and acceptance of a certain ambiguity from both parties. It requires that both men and women accept responsibility for their feelings and actions, responsibility that modern women often seem incapable of exhibiting and, frighteningly, are not expected to exhibit.
Nevertheless, men are burdened with strong sexually appetites, appetites honed by millions of years of evolution. So what of your natural instincts to pursue, court, woo women? To find one with whom to wed and mate in order to procreate and advance the species?
All I can say is, good luck my friend. Proceed at your own risk.
Take heart, though. The sex robots are already here, and are daily growing cheaper, better and more widely available.
It won't be long before men won't need women at all.
Because this ultimately is what men are realizing in our current anti-male hysteria: That interactions with women are often more trouble than they are worth.
Congratulations, #MeToo.

The Democrat Party has shown its hand, the only one it uses....the Left Hand. And it's a bloodied one. The recent Senate assassination gathering, falsely described as "confirmation hearings" for a Supreme Court nominee ended up being a well planned smear campaign the likes of which were never seen in this nation's now filthied capital. This land may never recover from these scenes of utter moral depravity. The sad part of it is that half of our electorate sees no problem with the actions of their leaders.
Has the Democrat Party sunk so low they cannot see how gross and disgusting their behavior was in destroying the character, family and well earned judicial reputation of Brett Kavanaugh, who was blindsided by the accusations of brutal sexual assaults 36 years ago by (at this writing) a trio of women, all of whom with histories of radical feminism and ties to George Soros, whose testimonies so far are no more than poorly thought out fantasy accusations that would never be taken seriously in any other scenario? Shameful and disgusting that this man, whose blemish-free history as a husband, father, coach, community leader and human being were dragged through the political mud without a thought to the ramifications, not only to this man's life but to the image of this nation, itself.
Here we have the Senate, the upper body of our Legislative branch of government now reduced to the level of a third world nation's Kangaroo Court. Shamelessly, the likes of New Jersey Senator Cory Booker a participant in this sham who recently revealed that years ago he attempted to rape a woman. Yet he, without any corroborative evidence accused Kavanaugh of that same crime. Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal, who has continually lied about his serving in combat in Vietnam laid into Kavanaugh brutally, again with no thread of evidence to the candidate's having ever even threatened a woman. These Democrats all to a one, once bowed in honor to their long time leader in the Senate, Ted Kennedy whose life was smothered in debauchery of women, even killing one while on a drunken drive in Chappaquiddick during a weekend of sexual womanizing. And this Democrat group is with a straight face, without any conscience at all, rendering judgment on the honor of one such as Brett Kavanaugh?
So, the party bankrolled by the self admitted Nazi employee, George Soros, is now dragging out women who would testify under oath to any fabricated sexual accusation against any individual selected by President Trump as a Supreme Court nominee is now a given. And we were once proud that our nation had a solid Two Party System. Sadly we have seen half of our well crafted, Constitutional political system now discarded by the bloodied hands of the Democrats. We pray that it can be somehow reclaimed and restored. The only means by which that can be done is by taking it in our own hands this upcoming Election day and voting these scum out of office. Our Founding Fathers are now looking down on us, hoping we have that determination and intelligence to do the right thing. They are praying. So are we.
