[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 143457, member: 57984"] The entire focus of the movement is to indeed remove the line in the sand between good men and bad. And this isn't new -- the "All Men Are Pigs" sentiment is 50 years old. Only back then, people used to laugh at it. Today, we know they're serious. #MeToo and feminism in general today are endlessly trying to tell us that the privilege of the top 1% trickles down to all men, while the guilt of the bottom percentage of rapey men trickles up to all men, too. Why is that necessary, one wonders? There is a very common belief today that if all men could just be eradicated, then world peace would quickly be achieved. When you point out that women kill their offspring at a far higher rate than men (even when the fathers are in the household) they quickly blame it on patriarchal triggering, so women only kill their children because of emotional scarring from men. So that's men fault, too. As a leftist and an egalitarianist (y'know... more or less) myself, I've always been sympathetic to the cause of women's rights, but it's become about something else nowadays. One begins to realize all the intricate new ways constantly coming down the pike to blame men for the most bizarre things is now just crazy, and more about "look at me" narcissism than it is justice or safety for women. Even TeenVogue, which has become an important online political presence in the last couple of years, ran an op-ed piece a few months ago which stated that innocent men being brought down with false charges was acceptable because it was needed to "more quickly overthrow the patriarchy." All of which hurts women who've actually been raped or assaulted or genuinely sexually harassed. But no one seems interested in that. Real rape cases involve details specific to that case, and are therefore less exploitable rhetorically; but bringing down someone who's innocent sends a clearer message: We Are in Control, and it doesn't really matter what you do or don't do, whether you're innocent or guilty.
