Women are speaking up taking courage from each other, oftentimes represented by female attorneys who bring the accusations public, rather than staying silent
Let's leave that there to get back to here-and-now: represented by high-power and highly-paid attorneys, women are emerging decades-later-after-the-fact either from the shadows or high-visibility media/entertainment positions to make accusations and bring charges again the men who harassed and exploited on the job for what they had to do "to get ahead" in "career advancement". . . they've collected million$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ in settlements or their affairs with undisclosed indiscretions when brought public have toppled even top 5-star generals like David Petraeus who revealed classified information to his mistress and biographer Paula Broadwell.
And now the Hollywood scandals - this time it's more than entertainment
It's serious stuff that's gone on ignored or un-spoken about for generations, not only in civilian life but in the military from top-to-bottom.
On another front we've gone from "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" when dealing with homosexuality to
JUST TELL EVERYTHING
. . . it's out there, folks!
entertainment and the media, government employess, education, police and fire departments, Wall Street finance, banking, sports and athletics, and those in public office who violate both the public trust and ethics.
The #MeToo beast is waking and it's coming for the men behind it
The social media movement shouldn't just be about women who have been sexually assaulted - men need to own up
It began with actress Alyssa Milano taking to Twitter, saying: “If all the women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted wrote ‘Me too’ as a status, we might give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem. . .
Some women aren't even sure that their experience counts as sexual assault or not because it's become all too normalised. The hashtag became a quiet roar of the beast that lies beneath our everyday mundane existence.
But the issue here should not just be about women who have experienced sexual assault; it needs to extend to men who have been part of the problem. For every "me too", there is obviously a man - or several #men - behind it, having done the assaulting. But all we hear are crickets. It’s almost as if they don’t want to admit that they’re part of the problem.
Many are of the belief that men should play no part in the dialogue about women's rights as it diverts the conversation from the plight of women to be about men.
However, in this case, it's not so straightforward. Men are the main cause of this entire movement, and it's impossible to have these conversations without men owning up for their actions - or even inactions - surrounding sexual assault.

Toxic Masculinity - MGTOW [transcript]
Published on Nov 22, 2014
Widespread systematic oppression of women appears worse to modern society as Hollywood and literary writers continuously propagandize and re-imagine how life was like in the past.
. . . In my previous video, I explained how the MGTOW philosophy rose in tandem with Feminism’s rise in the Western World. After second wave feminism solidified itself as an academic discipline, research and debate concerning the traditional family structure all but ceased to investigate a more agenda driven gynocentrist narrative. The current power structure was incorrect, and revisionist feminist academics began their campaign to re-contextualize historical events through a feminist lens. New fields of research emerged to fill in the gaps of knowledge regarding this “groundbreaking” discipline. Few had ever researched the role of women in society beyond simple characterizations, largely because women did not contribute to society in the same manner as men. Re-contextualizing history through a feminist lens naturally induces biases in how daily life actually worked. Widespread systematic oppression of women appears worse to modern society as Hollywood and literary writers continuously propagandize and re-imagine how life was like in the past. Before second wave feminism, men in media were seen as more traditionally masculine role models that young boys could emulate. Now, turn on the television and you’re bound to witness men play a subservient role to women, and watch few if any men act traditionally masculine. The term “toxic masculinity” refers to male behaviors which damage the gynocentric imperative. These behaviors these include using logic over emotional reasoning, mental independence, courageousness and assertiveness. Essentially, for the gynocentrist agenda to push forward, society must become more feminized, as feminine behavior stems from empathy and sensitivity to one’s feelings, which are personality traits more easily manipulable by powerful governments and agenda pushers. Modern western society currently thrives on emotional facts while conveniently ignoring the difficult truths of our actions. This irrationality has fueled the current trend of social justice and female supremacy to rise without any check or application of common sense. Now more than ever, how you phrase something matters more than what you actually say, which can ironically help governments and gynocentrists achieve their goals faster as they stand to benefit the most from sugarcoating obvious admissions of fact and outright lies. I find it amusing both entities wish to label masculinity as toxic and femininity as desirable when all civilizations have advanced fastest on the back of reason and the scientific method than any emotional ideology or purely theoretical construct. |
