In accusation that destroy people, we have a responsibility to be skeptical, and validate before lynching.

Facts[edit | edit source]
- There are people that abuse their positions, and that's wrong. But that's not reason to give up our individuality and reasoning (critical thinking, skepticism, and so on), for sake of political correctness.
- #MeToo is the hashtag of sheep, followers, and the antithesis of what we should want from our daughters and sons. A strong woman comes forward at the time. Weak women wait years or decades and only come out long after they got the job/promotion for their service and when others came out first and the statute of limitations has run out.
- The reality is the human mating dance is awkward: a series of escalating sexual harassments until copulation. Some guys don't catch signals. Some Women change their minds, or give the wrong ones. Let's not infantilize adult Women and pretend they don't know how to say "no".
- Men are supposed to self humiliate and do the approaching and risk rejection.
- Women are supposed to reject to see if he'll debase himself through persistent interest, or he was just trolling for an easy bedding.
- In that testing game, some overplay their hands -- or some are socially awkward, or just assholes abusing their positions.
- Few women (or men) haven't had the awkward interests of someone that couldn't take a hint, foisted upon them. Or that might have mistook sincere rejection with the game.
- In any sample there's a bell curve: highly justified to highly exaggerated or invented. With most somewhere in between. So as Duke Rape Case (and a dozen other Hoaxes proved), Believe all women (or the media) is not a sign of compassion, it's a sign of gullibility.
- For the left it's about preying on good intentions of people saying "I stand with the bullied"... and parlaying that into power. Feel, don't think! Don't be skeptical. Be a good person and empower the mob to rectify the injustice.
- If it's a crisis, then by being at the forefront, they can garnder money, votes, legislative power to fix it.
- The power to point at anyone they don't like, and put them in the metaphorical stocks for the mob to lob tomatoes at? Public humiliation, or even firing at will. All the deliciousness of brinbging the Salem witch trials into the modern social media era: that's what caring about your fellow man (or woman) looks like to them.
- People in a complex society have to deal with unwanted advances. And yes, some of them go well past the slightly awkward to downright abusive of power. That's wrong! But we already have rules/laws/policies against that -- and we should enforce them whole heartedly... in our courts. Not in the far lower bar, in the Court of Public (Manipulated) Opinion.
- There's no courage in a bunch of sheep, coming out only in the safety in the mob, and piling on the finger pointing at one person, "It happened to me too, by someone else, in totally different situation, 20 years ago, with no one who can confirm or contest it". That's not heroism -- it's me-tooism. You want heroism, it's the woman that risks her job calling out a problem abuser when the rest of the flock isn't bleating. It's the ones who risked their jobs or reputations first. Not the last person to join the hoard with pitchforks and torches. I want to raise people to not fall prey to political hashtags of me-tooism, but to silently do the right thing when nobody is watching, instead of trying to be part of the the Human Microphone, and joining the latest fad-hate-mob is gathering rocks for the public stoning.
