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: 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.

Just received my robot yesterday, shipped through Amazon Prime. VERY disappointed that it/she was a liberal-Dem-Atheist Android. With a bad 'tude. Already shipped back, got a refund.
I hear the new sex bots constantly repeat the phrase "me too" every 30 minutes! Edit: I suppose with this comment, I can forget about ever being appointed to the USSC.
Heh-heh... Accessorized with "Contractual Provisions" for touching "Bot Lady Bits". Edit: I suppose with this comment, I can forget about ever being appointed to the USSC. It gets worse for you; Word was, A K A Stone was just about to nominate you as 'Director of LF Sidebar Moderators'. You can now kiss that highly esteemed position goodbye.
Yes, a bad day to me me, for sure. LOL.

Yeah, VERY day for you. "Me too" has ruined another good man. Bye-Bye Sidebar Czar :-( But maybe TC will return to LF now that he knows you're not in the running.
