[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 153770, member: 35"] I agree with some of what she said. There certainly have been women who've agreed to sexual acts in exchange for career advancement that ended up regretting it later. And while being propositioned like that is wrong, they still made the choice. The problem with #MeToo is that it conflates regrettable choices with force and coercion. It's all the same to them. As far as women being encouraged to be conniving goes, I'm not sure that applies exclusively to them. I think it has more to do with groups that develop an agenda against another group. Not all women are conniving, but the ones who are riding the current, socially acceptable wave of misandry certainly are. When it comes to taking down men, the ends justify the means. That said, I disagree with her completely when it comes to women like Ford. While I believe a man should only be convicted if there is irrefutable proof that he committed sexual assault, I also believe the same standard holds true for women accused of making false accusations. And to my knowledge, it wasn't determined that Ford lied. The problem in cases like that is waiting so long to come forward. By that point, it's almost impossible to prove who is telling the truth. The Ford example is particularly polarizing because of the political angle. Generally speaking, liberals believe her and Trump supporters don't. Putting agendas aside, it's one of those things where it's impossible to know definitively. Barr's showing her Trump bias here. [/QUOTE]
