54. Keep It Up and . . .

Thu Apr 4, 2019, 10:50 AM

Apr 2019

the MeToo movement will be laughed out of town. You want people to stop listening to the voices of women? This is exactly the way you do it by making a mockery of the original intent: calling attention to sexual harassment and assault against women.

Most women have been there. We know what sexual harassment looks and sounds like.

This ain't it!

Btw, abusers do not allow pictures taken.

There's nothing brave in a pile-on action, stretching the limits and definition of a social, gender-related movement, then using that pile-on as a political cudgel to take out opponents.

No one's interests are served by this. And women--who have fought so hard to be taken seriously, to have their voices heard--will be harmed the most.

Short-sighted and counterproductive. Also sickening.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
